general media Is passion and art form lost in tv, music, movies, and other media?

[ManaMinori 4,149]

There's SO many "artists", whether they're people who make/ sell music, make movies, tv shows, ect. out there, and more flooding through the doors each day. Content is being churned out to the masses at  whiplash speeds, and there's quite literally something new coming out every day- if not from one "artist", then from another. But what i don't think many people bother to question anymore is if what they're watching or listening to is made with love and passion by the artist- for the many who dare to call themselves that. Is what we're being supplied by these artists really a work of art, by someone who has a passion for what they're doing, and the content they release is expressive and moving, and brilliant, and just make you FEEL, as art should? There's far too many sellouts who no longer (or never really had, to begin with) passion for the "art" they create, and sell out to make a quick buck; while likely losing the love and passion they had for what they were doing, once someone puts them on a leash and tells them what to make and how to make their 'art'.

 

What do you guys think? Are passionate projects from music, film, tv, ect 'artists' something that you see as a rarity, now, or are they steadily being delivered? Or is there more "muck for a quick buck" amongst all the media that gets bought up, with the more passionate artists to truly consider their craft an art form being largely unheard of and/ or ignored?

Have you watched the tv show The Blacklist or have you seen the trailer of Teen Wolf Season 5, the people who work on sed shows take pride in there work, although i hate when a movie is split in to 2 parts e.g. Hunger Games MockingJay...

no. No cable providers, and I I try to fine-filter shows that aren't of wholesome and clean moral and quality. (ones that have killing, swearing, sex) But that won't stop me from talking about them as an art form. Or supposed-art form....

 

How can you tell there's pride taken in these shows that you mentioned?

Becuase unlike most film studios and 'some' tv networks they enjoy what they do and this reflects back to the finished 'product' as you would say, but what do mean by 'cable providers' i mean i know what they are but why fillter them out, but if i was talking about Arrow season 3 i'd say it would be a far weaker season the last two, i dont about anyone else but it felt 'rushed'. Tv and Film as an art form is like a pyshical enboidment of an 'idea' there meant to be taken carefully and cautiously, because as you said 'talking about them as an art form.'

I mean that I don't have cable (or Netflix) to allow me to even have access to those shows.

The point I'm getting at is that is seems like people are more into creating music or movies or tv for the money and benefits, rather than thinking of it as art. If you say that the staff who worked on "Arrow" had really been considering their project show as art, then why would the third season be weaker than the first two, when - with any art, said artist only improves and developed their skills, over time?

That's part of why I decided against working towards being a professional artist.

I realized I would come to despise it if I had someone over my shoulder telling me when, how, and what to create.

All good art starts with mistakes, with Arrow (if you have watched it) you now how 'bad' it is, everything can have mistakes, there is no such thing as "only improves and developed their skills, over time" becuase things go at different paces, there is two roads; the good and improved otr that bad and rushed, there is no middle ground for television, not sure about film though
