  • Hbo Premieres the Third Season of Game of Thrones
    HBO PREMIERES THE THIRD SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES The new season will premiere simultaneously with the United States on March 31st Miami, FL, March 18, 2013 – The battle for the Iron Throne among the families who rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros continues in the third season of the HBO original series, Game of Thrones. Winner of two Emmys® 2011 and six Golden Globes® 2012, the series is based on the famous fantasy books “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. HBO Latin America will premiere the third season simultaneously with the United States on March 31st. Many of the events that occurred in the first two seasons will culminate violently, with several of the main characters confronting their destinies. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn. The Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces, yet Robb Stark –King of the North– still controls much of the South, having yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder (new character portrayed by Ciaran Hinds) has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

  • Game of Thrones Analysis
    Game of Thrones Transmedia Storytelling Analysis Ott Vatter BFM Introduction Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones. The unique transmedia experience was produced by New York based creative marketing agency Campfire. This paper is a transmedia analysis of the project Game of Thrones, written by Ott Vatter for the course Transmedia Storytelling, taught by Dr. Renira Gambarato. The course is part of the Baltic Film School’s Crossmedia Production Master program. The paper follows the methodology suggested by Dr. Renira Gambarato in the text “How to Analyze Transmedia Narratives” and the main goal of the analysis is to understand in which way transmedia storytelling strategies were implemented in the project, evaluating its strengths, weaknesses and trying to suggest possible improvements. As the TV series Game of Thrones has been accomplished with major success, it would take far more than 15 pages to analyze every related extension, so I with this essay I am going to discuss what I consider most relevant. I will try to do it as objectively as possible. Premise and purpose The purpose of the transmedia project is to promote the adaption of the fantasy novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" written by George R. R. Martin to the TV series Game of Thrones. The fundamental purpose of the TV show is to entertain, which it does very well through morally ambiguous characters.

But as the abuse gradually got worse, Tomillero said officials from the Andalusian Football Federation did little to help, according to VICE. He has presented a formal complaint regarding Saturday’s abusive comments, but said he will be leaving the sport regardless.

  • Zoo Film Study Guide Director: Colin Mclvor 2017 | Fiction | 97 Minutes |Ireland, UK |English | Unrated
    Zoo Film Study Guide Director: Colin Mclvor 2017 | Fiction | 97 Minutes |Ireland, UK |English | Unrated http://www.samuelgoldwynfilms.com/zoo/ Synopsis: Belfast 1941. Young Tom's (Art Parkinson, Game of Thrones) zookeeper father is enlisted in ​ the army, leaving behind his family and the newest member of the zoo, baby elephant Buster. When German air raids threaten the safety of the zoo animals, Tom and his gang of misfit friends set out to rescue Buster with the help of an eccentric animal lover (Penelope Wilton, Downton Abbey). Inspired by true events, writer-director McIvor delivers an uplifting tale of dogged bravery. Post-Screening Discussion Questions 1. This film was based on true events. What parts of the story do you think actually happened? What parts were probably exaggerated or fabricated? How do you think the filmmaker decided what to keep in and what to discard? 2. Tom obviously has a lot of interest and love for animals. Is there something you would risk your life for? Do you think it was silly of Tom to save Buster by himself or did he do the right thing? Why or why not? 3. What do you think the theme of this movie was? Are there any valuable morals that you learned while watching? If so, what were they? 4. Do you think this would be possible to do today? How does the time period represented in the movie impact the way the story is told? Was it believable? 5. Did you learn anything new about WWII from watching this movie? Had you ever earned about WWII from the point of view of the northern Irish before? Were you aware Ireland was involved in WWII before watching this? 6.
