Select a recent popular culture media creation (film, TV, electronic game, recording) that reuses actual parts of an older popular culture media recording in a substantial way. The media creation can be a recording, a TV show, a film, or a game. The actual earlier media recording must be reused relatively substantially in the newer media creation. To fit this requirement they must reuse all of part of the actual older media creation.
As an example, look at the two following clips:
Both use the actual 1956 hit recording of Mickey and Sylvia's Love Is Strange. First, watch how it was used in this 1993 British TV series Lipstick On Your Collar.
Next, note how the original recording is sampled and used in this recording/video. Either one of these---but not both---would be the sort of thing to use for this assignment. The older creation would be the original recording, and the newer creation would be one of these clips---but again, not both. You are to just find one newer creation that reuses all or part of one older creation.
Don't use any of these including the original recording for the assignment. They are just samples to help you understand what might work. Read the rest of the instructions very closely and carefully.
Examples that DO fit:
A new recording samples a section of an older recording
A video game uses an older recording
A TV commercial uses an older recording
A movie or TV episode that has an older recording on the soundtrack key part of the scene
An artist records a cover version of another artist's older hit record
An artist re-records their old hit
A remake of an older recording
In a essay address the following:
Give a brief explanation of what both media creations are. When were they produced? By whom?
State how the older piece was incorporated into the new one.
Demonstrate your understanding of why the older piece was used in the newer one.
Do the two examples have a shared meaning, significance, or context?
Explain how/why you think the use of the older element was successful or not.
Is the connection between the two creations clear or unclear? Why or why not?
