Ice-breaker

 In today's lecture, we did a fun exercise to get our rusty minds started. We were given a prompt to imagine ourselves as machines or appliances. Then we had to draw it and write on why we feel that way. 

I came up with the idea of a camera as I indeed like to observe the world and its fragments. 

Below is an image I drew and a text to go along with it. 


I'm a camera. Often I need to focus in order to see clearly. The world around me never loses its motion, inevitably accelerating - never stopping. It gets blurry, hard to see, to understand as details jump and change in a fraction of the second. As I flash my light, As I stop the motion, I can only then take a step back, breath in, reflect, and observe this obscure world frame by frame, hoping that there is still some space left in the SD.

                                                                          (Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986 - opening scene) In today's class, we were introduced to one of the cult films " Ferris Bueller's Day Off " Written and directed by John Hughes who is also known for works such as "Planes, Trains & automobiles" ( 1987) and "The Breakfast Club" (1985).

It became a subsidiary of viacom in 1994"   (Britannica).   Ferris Bueller's day off in my opinion is ultimate lazy Sunday afternoon movie, sending nothing but good emotions. Matthew Broderick who was nominated for the Golden Globe award in 1987  for the best performance by any actor in motion picture ( Golden Globes) delivers fun, intreaging and all rounded character to life, making us feel like we

Development of my project

Image
With the deadline just around the corner I finished drafting and ready to submit the project I was carrying out throughout the media 2 module. While redrafting for the last time, I aimed to get rid of unnecessary words and sentences in order to control the tone throughout my work. I also looked at minimalism as a literary device.  'Minimum is both an ending and a beginning, the terminus of patient processes of simplification reduction, exposition, intensification and clarification.' (Botha, 2017)   Will You Please Be Quiet,Please? (Carver, 2014),                                        What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Carver, 2009)    Also, while working on my story I was reading two short story collections written by Raymond Carver: Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Reading these collections greatly informed me of Raymond Carver's work and gave me inspiration when editing my own work. I was interested by minimalism
