POST 5: My Future Job

Imagen
  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. 

POST 4: My Favorite TV show

Imagen
      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...

POST 3: A person I would like to meet

Imagen
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 ...

POST 2: Songs and Memories

Imagen
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.

//Post 1: A Country I would like to visit

           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.  

Post 8: A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

Imagen
  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.

Blog Post 7: Choice of Two Topics

Imagen
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.
