Peluca and Napoleon Dynamite?

The first and most obvious difference in the two films was that one was in black & white and one was in colour. This changes the effect of the film as even if the characters are the same, the time period seems that much more different which causes the viewer to have different thoughts on the film. The character of Napoleon Dynamite is exactly the same in both of the films. He has the same look and personality that hasn't been changed. Something that had changed was the storyline. Peluca was obviously shorter which may be why the storyline was changed for the official full-length movie. However, it makes sense for the story to change as the original story in Peluca was not detailed enough to last for an hour yet still keep the attention of the audience. Changing the story for Napoleon Dynamite was a good choice made by the directors by adding more conflict and characters.

Peluca as a short film was definately very well filmed. The filming was simple while still being able to tell the story effectively. The audio and video quality was amazing and saying that it was a low budget production makes it all the more amazing. Although I would've liked it in colour, I think the black and white added a very special retro effect to the movie. I think the producers of Napoleon Dynamite was hooked by the character of Napoleon Dynamite. The producers probably saw the potential this character had and how much more they could create out him. The directors of Peluca created the very interesting character of Napoleon Dynamite in which probably caught the attention of the producers who saw so much more potential and decided to create this movie.
