          found it quite nice for the past experiences with other teachers, the use of the blog was perhaps not a challenge or something new for me as I already had it before but I found it a good platform to practice. I think mainly speaking in English. I usually understand almost everything I read in English but I find it difficult to formulate it orally.  To solve this I think only practice will do. Outside of class I actually make a lot of use of the language, at least on the internet I think the use of Spanish and English for me is very similar in the amount of content I consume.

        The career I am studying is called Film and Television, a career that recently made a change in its curriculum. The new curriculum has been active for 5 years, so we have not yet graduated generations with this change. Although the progress of the previous curriculum is remarkable, I feel that it is quickly falling behind because only in the fourth year we are taught about television, and only in that year, nothing else. And while this is not a big problem, since most people enter the career to study film and not television. The current problem is that the career is not taking care of the audiovisual formats that occur on the Internet, abandoning a window that is growing every day in number of consumers and audiovisual platforms mainly through streaming. What the career should do is to change the focus and definitely eliminate television from the curriculum and replace it with content that is created for the internet. Every day we are seeing that television i...

            Personally, I see the future as uncertain and I do not like to be in uncertainty. Thinking about the future is always a problem for me, because I feel that as a society and civilization we are not on the right track and the future that is looming is not at all pleasant. Perhaps if I had to choose, I would try to choose a fairly distant future where I no longer exist. I would not like to know what I did in my life, or what I did not do, or even when I lived. Being privy to that would bring me constant problems because I have generalized anxiety, which already makes me think a bit catastrophically about what the future is. Probably if I had the possibility I think I would try to visit different epochs in the future, making short visits with the goal of choosing the best time/space in the history of the planet. Also if we are talking about time travel, I think I would visit quite a few epochs in the past and I think this idea appeals to me more tha...

  I'd like to work free way, and given the specification I'm looking for in the Film career which is editing it's not that hard to happen. Ideally it would be in 'indoor' because of the tools I need to edit.  I would like to be able to travel to different countries but still live there for a while. I wouldn't mind having or working in an office as long as it adjusts what I want to do and not to be under contract or with a supervisor.  I'm studying Film but I'm specifically in the area of editing or montage. I would also like to study some post-production which is still in the line of editing. 

      My favorite series is Arrested Development but only its original seasons. Arrested Development is a sitcom about a millionaire family that has gone bankrupt and Michael Bluth, the main character, has to take over the company.      The Bluth family is composed of George Bluth, the father of the family, a very manipulative man who, despite being in jail, is looking for ways to run the company.   Lucille, George's wife, who like him is very manipulative, is very distant from her children, except for the youngest, whom she keeps under her control. G.O.B. the older brother, a magician by profession, is often used by his parents who in turn show little affection for him  Michael Bluth, main character who seeks to help his family and bring the company back from bankruptcy.  Lindsay, Michael's twin sister, seeks to be in the spotlight, staging protests linked to environmental causes  Buster, younger brother who is under the contr...

I honestly admire very few people and those few are closer to how they make me feel rather than something more objective. In this line, music is very present, so I will talk about JPEGMAFIA a.k.a Peggy. Peggy is an American rapper, singer and record producer and I love his work.  His personality shows a contrast between how he appears on stage and how he appears off stage.  offstage he appears as an introverted person, shy and distanced from the rest. On stage he is the opposite, as if he were releasing everything he was holding back.  What I admire most is that ability to let out what he really feels through his songs, without fear of sounding corny, having pop references. He basically gives himself to the idea of saying what he really feels, being also quite serious and direct when it is necessary to do it.  I don't know if he has won any industry awards, I just know that he has a lot of support from the hip hop world today.  A relevant fact about him I think ...

For a month I was working on a video documentary of MFDOOM, so only their music comes to mind.   But during that work I remembered the first times I heard it. It was around 2010, with a friend that I still keep. At that time we knew very little about him, but over the years we have understood and appreciated MF DOOM's great artwork. I remember the time we listened to the album Madvillainy wich is a record of MF DOOM (my friend's favorite rapper) featuring Madlib (who is my favorite rapper). Obviously we got prepared to listen to it by smoking a lot of weed. After this event we understood the phrase: MF DOOM is your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. Each song creates a particular atmosphere, but they are held together by the concept of the album.  Since that day and to this day Madvillain is my favorite hip hop album.

           One of my dreams is to travel to Japan for many reasons. The first one is that I've been watching Anime since I was a child, so I have always been attracted to the idea of visiting those places.      Another reason is because in the past I studied anthropology for 3 years and I love to learn about other cultures, specifically the Japanese Culture and it nexus with the efficient functioning of the neoliberal system.       And what fascinates me most about Japan is the aesthetics of the city, the lights, the landscape, the buildings, etc. It is perfect for filming and this is what makes me want to travel, this and the idea of researching about their culture.  

  The course I enjoyed the most this semester was "Taller Documental". This course is the main subject of the third year of my career, it is here where we are given the contents and we are taught ways to make documentaries. In class we have a programmed viewing according to the subject that was discussed in class.The reason why it was my favorite subject is because it was the only course where we did practical exercises and essentially filming. In addition, although the exercises were given a concept, it could be approached in any way I wanted because what we wanted was to exercise and experiment in order to find a way that would suit us to make a documentary. The best thing was the viewing of the exercises where we saw the video of each partner and with that to know the interests of each person or the ways of dealing with the reality that surrounds them and show it.

A2B2.org  is a website founded by Andy Morin member of Death Grips which is oriented as a platform to post images of their own that the users of the site feel goes well with the aesthetics of the site.  It's a website that I check regularly for visual references, sometimes just to look at images and appreciate them and sometimes to post content that I've created.What I like most about the site is the aesthetics of the images that are uploaded, as well as the indifferent feedback, there are no likes or other reactions, only brief comments. This allows one to post freely and not be aware of the reception. Another thing I like is that every three months the site makes a magazine in which they receive contributions from all members of the site applying a selection depending on the theme set for the magazine.I recommend a2b2.org for all people looking to showcase their content or just hang out appreciating digital art.  

  My specific career is very broad in the sense of what I do in the world. Although filmmaking is linked to the area of entertainment, it can easily fulfill a social task. The documentary is a good platform to denounce or inform about a specific topic in a didactic way. In my case I see in the documentary a tool which allows to take the knowledge or theory beyond the academic area and make this information more free and massive.  For that, it is necessary to understand the change of platform that is taking place from cinema to digital and to get used to this new panorama. Personally, I believe that cinema will lose its importance due to the fact that technology is becoming more and more accessible to each person, together with the convenience of streaming platforms and the acceleration that these platforms have had in the last year due to the pandemic that we are living and the impossibility of going to an enclosed space. 

  This is a problem for me because last year I had cancer and the chemotherapy still has its side effects, the main one being lack of appetite or disgust.In this context I prefer light meals with salads but I try not to saturate myself with one type of food. Perhaps something that does not manage to make me dislike the taste of the coffee is something that I consume daily in different formats. Its preparation is not very complicated, it is only hot water that is not boiling or milk  and coffee to taste, maybe sugar. I think what I like the most is its smell, also its bitter taste that helps to neutralize the flavors, and of course the effect of caffeine that helps to start the day or spend the night. I don't think it's a very healthy food per se, but it does somehow help me to have less disgust or lack of appetite.

    This photograph was taken in october 2019 by a friend, in the middle of curfew,  in the center of the Santiago city, just meters from the government palace with an analog camera  with a roll in black in white The moment captured had a lot of movement and  the action itself reflected the rage and adrenaline of what was being experienced.  The fire creates contrast with the darkness and allows us to see these two silhouettes performing the action. When the photographs came to me I decided to immediately edit that in specific  because the moment captured had a lot of movement  and the action itself reflected the anger and adrenaline of the moment that was being  experienced.  First I tried to keep the original balance of black and white,  just lighten it up a bit and touch up some details, but the result did not convince me.  Then I start play with the colour and a lot of layers mixed by opacity or another blending  mode...

    my new processor        Since 2007 my favorite piece of technology by away is my computer. I use this principally for entretention but through the years and especially in the pandemic it’s use changed for productive tasks and that has changed my perspective about it, because it’s use in parallel for entretention and tasks saturates. In general it’s impact in my life has been positive, because it is a tool, in the beginning only for playing games and listening to music, but actually now for almost everything, from watching tv, reading books, watch cinema, making visual and audiovisual art and in the last time, to going to classes.  My recommendation for this piece of technology called computer is to use with extreme security at this times when the pandemic context accelerates its presence in the human life, and above all the acceleration it produces in the communication between persons.

        I'm trying to remember what my dream job was and I can't seem to do it. Probably dreamed of being a soccer player or a tennis player but I'm not sure. Before this career, film and television, I studied  anthropology for 3 years and in the election of this process (2013-2014) my possible other careers are Sociology,  Philosophy and Film and Television.  In the third year of anthropology I decided to study film and television because I got tired of the methodology and the application of anthropology in the job market.  My experience at the university  has been very extensive, I have been on JGM for many years and this is cool sometimes but over the years it gets boring. My kind of job in this moment probably is just making videos or anything visual project with my friends.
