The two shows that I chose to write about are Family Guy and Nickelodeon's new show Legend of Korra. I chose these two shows because they are of different genre and format. Family Guy has a more American style drawing style, while Legend of Korra uses the popular Japanese style of anime. Both shows have comedy in them, but Legend of Korra is more drama based than Family Guy, which is usually pure comedy than it is serious.
The color used in both shows range from all the colors in the book, but they each have a set focus of colors in the pictures provided above this explanation. In the pictures of Legend of Korra, (bottom two) they use the hues of brown and red the most. These colors are strong and give a feeling of power. They are also bright and use little saturation from the original colors. Saturation is used in the fire picture just to show the intensity of the fire being thrown around. In the Family Guy pictures, (upper pictures) the hues are a bit more diverse. The hues dabble in green, blue, pink, yellow, red and white. Saturation is used pretty heavily in these only because the colors have to be brighter because it is a happier show. The main difference in color between the two cartoons is the brightness in both. Family Guy has brighter colors because it is a comedy and is made to make you feel good. Bright colors help bring out that feeling. Legend of Korra uses darker colors to show the seriousness of the show and to show that it is not something to usually be taken as a joke.
The lighting is not similar at all between the two shows. They're actually the exact opposite of each other. Family Guy has bright lighting for the most part with having dark parts on occasion. legends of Korra has more dark parts than bright, but like i said before, it is a more serious show.
Movement for both is pretty horizontal. This is because they are both cartoons and there is not much you can do with movement in a cartoon. There are points where they overlap each other but it is not very often that it happens.
