Context of Practice 1 Recap (Week Commencing 12/11/18)

2. Manipulation, aesthetic choice, lack of identity... How is the concept of nostalgia utilised by the creators of animated content?

This question stood out to me as when I was younger, my mum brought me up on films and music from her own childhood, meaning as I grew up, it was almost as though I longed for a time I hadn't even lived in.

I also feel there are a lot of new films and television series either set in the 1980s, or have been filmed in such a way that remind me of these older films.

After MAF, I felt even more certain that this was the question I wanted to pick as I saw some animations I felt definitely relied on nostalgia.
