In the years following the original film in 1941, many advancements in film technology were used in to expand the abilities of film makers. Make up and basic video effects were used to convey specific images fairly well, however with the advances in film such as CGI and better film editing it allowed film makers to express themselves further. In Wolfman 1941 the transformation sequences are far less "scary" than the transformations in the 2010 version. However, the Wolfman's overall apperance is fairly similar. In the original film, the portrayal of the transformation is simple compared to today's graphic standards. The effects were limited to still scenes where the legs and feet slowly transformed by becoming hairier in a stop-motion-like effect. The Wolfman takes off his clothes in a state of confusion as he "magically" had more hair on his arms and pretended to have more hair on his face. Graphically these scenes portray a mildly scary emotion in our modern state of ever increasing need for realism. The 2010 film uses the advances of technology to enhance the emotions expected for the viewers. In comparison to the still scenes of the old one, the 2010 Wolfman shows the transformation sequence in a life like experience. No still scenes of the legs growing hair slowly, the 2010 film shows the feet exploding through his shoes and the heels actually transforming into the toe walking demon in a highly realistic manner. The 2010 Wolfman bursts through his clothes with intense emotion whereas the 1941 Wolfman simply undresses himself. The 2010 film also portrays the facial transformation with great virility as the wolf pushes his face through and brings itself forth. The 1941 film merely shows this facial transformation only once as a form of closure and silence to the fear that the Wolfman is intended to portray. Overall the use of greater technology in the 2010 film expresses the transformation sequences as intense and frightening for our visually desensitized minds and is fair complement for our modern time.

Check your grammer. If you are uncertain about a rule, type your written section in Word first and check it. The two pictures you have chosen of the wolfman at the end of your blog are quite convinceing.
