The Sound Providers & Surreal - They Call Me
I didn't do as well as I had hoped on the quiz on Thursday night, even though it was all simple questions. I read everything, I guess I just didn't read hard enough. I came out after Thursday's class contemplating about whether or not if the film business in general is interesting to me. I enjoy films of course, and I also enjoy exploring the meanings and themes behind the films. Ken Nakamura, who spoke with us that night, had an interesting occupation and introduced us to several opportunities for us to participate in the GRFF. It would definitely be a memorable and productive experience, but I'm unsure if it will help me in terms of my future career.
While the class was looking over the covers of the GRFF, I couldn't help but think: This is the best looking cover they can come up with? Did that woman have to be on the cover of the GRFF magazine? Why not just get a whole new concept for a title page? I'm sure there are many people - probably even in this class - that can create something better than that. No offense to the girl on the cover too, but I don't find her attractive at all.
I was watching television this past weekend and thought about the material we studied so far. After going through all the advertisements we studied, I started to see the different techniques that are used in all these commercials. Usually, I would watch commercials and not care what goes on when these advertisements try to promote their products. I was watching a television program - I forgot which one - and there were probably about 5 commercials that aired. It's sometimes hard to label which technique they had used; they are subjective to the viewer. Among the five, I remember seeing a compare and contrast example, with the Fido commercial that has the animals and the people with the same hairstyle. I also saw the Tide commercial with Kelly Ripa, which is another compare and contrast example. Her arms are too muscular for my tastes in that commercial. Anyway, it seems like the compare and contrast example is very common on television.
