Kings reign supreme!
The “kings” have the loudest voice. Their voice can be heard beyond any village and any country. The “kings” of the media have included prominent web-video sites and sponsors. These sites and sponsors generate millions of dollars. Just like a King would subsidize his legions of workers, prominent web sites and their sponsors have subsidized the media. Any dynasty or hierarchy will be tested by opposition.
Because of the Internet, many individuals can find different venues of entertainment. These venues are explored in different blogs and articles.
Mike Hale, a blogger from the New York Times Blog, “Arts Beat”, has recently created a new Watch List, a blog where Hale provides several links of videos, called “Web Series with Polish.” Web Series with Polish includes two links that indicates the vast differences between two different webisodes. The first link includes the web series Oh Inverted World. Directed by Terence Krey and Daniel Fox, Oh Inverted World is not your typical show or series.
Oh Inverted World is a black and white production that follows the life of Mina and her Bearded Three. Pamela Bell plays Mina, a girl in her mid-twenties who wakes up at two-o clock in the afternoon everyday. As she looks at her New York University diploma with resentment, she always knows that she has her Bearded Three, which includes: Art, Finn, and Rob. It is not filmed in a huge set. It is an independent production that hopes to use their sarcastic and hipster appeal to reach the masses.
Although it is somewhat comedic, the show has solemn music which is made by Dan Cohen. Solemn music is played throughout Mike Hale’s other link, which includes Lifetimes’s web series, Suite 7. Suite 7, stars Shannon Doherty, who is known for her work in the original Beverly Hills 90210.
Shannen Doherty plays Adrienne, a woman who is coping with a loss of a boyfriend. As she stays in a hotel, she finds comfort with the hotel manager, who is played by Wilson Cleveland. Unlike Oh Inverted World this show is sponsored by “The Better Sleep Council,”who can be followed on www.betterslep.org. Suite 7 is directed by Mark Gantt and is produced by A CJP Digital Media. Even though Suite 7 was more well done, I actually liked Oh Inverted World much better. Ying Chan agrees with my sentiment. “It felt different. Suite 7 is the same thing as most other shows,” says Chan. Sherese Francis disagrees with the both of us. Francis said that she liked Suite 7 more because she felt that the “acting was better.” There will always will be a disagreement between what is better. That is for you to decide.
