LLBM2: Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs

As we are creating a new film, I thought it would be interesting to reference the original film plot in which there were Henchmen. In order to do this, I printed off stills from the previous film and our As project and placed them around Vera's office, these are known as Easter Eggs.

Easter eggs within films can create visceral pleasures for the audience as it is an entertaining accompaniment to films, whether it be a reference via a physical object or a reference through the use of dialogue. I identified the uses of 'Easter Eggs' within existing products and explore the ways in which it is presented.

Within Disney's Aladdin, the tigers transformation has an Easter Egg of Mickey Mouse's Ears on the top of his head.

Within the film Tron, the holographic screen clearly has Pac Man on the background, this is to entertain fans of both the game and the film as Pac Man was a popular 1980's game during the era of Tron's release.
