Spirited Away reflection

2. Through Chihiro’s transformation from miserable little girl to courageous adventurer, the film suggests that the world of the spirits is necessary to help us live in the everyday world, that spiritual development is part of the solution to environmental crises. What do you think about this? 

I think this is makes allot of sense from the perspective of various religions, many if not most spiritual community have a tie or a save the environmental message.  Native spirituality is the best example for they have such a strong tie to the environment as treat it as a gift to be shared and taken care of. Another region would be the catholic faith in which they talk about the environment being a gift from God and that we are the care takers of the earth and are responsible for the use of our resources. I think that to live day to day we must be able to let ourselves believe or think that they're are powers , things and forces that are far above our own control that keeps the world together.   

5. Does it make sense to think of bodies of water as possessing spirit? Have you ever had a relationship with a river, a pond, an ocean, or the rain that prompted you to speak to water? Have you ever been rescued by a body of water? Have you ever cleaned a body of water? 

Bodies of water with spirits that would make a lot of sense to me, water it's self is feels magical. Each body of water has a different personality, like the taste each town is connected to a different body of water and all have different tastes, feels and environmental life in it. Walkerton's water taste unnatural, Port Elgin's water taste clear and fresh and when swimming at the beach the water is cool and sandy, Kincardine's water is right in between the taste is not great but not bad, the beach water is clear and stony with bits of debris. Near my house is what I would label as a small stream leading into the lake it's almost thigh high in the fall and angle deep in the summer the water flows fairly fast at both times but I've never seen the stream the same every time I visit it. Most people say that water is the source of life so it is plausible that  spirit could represent a body of water.

Toy Hack Reflection

The cutest cyborg of all strawberry k-9 is a toy for all ages combing the most advanced technology of today with a child like innocence.  Soft fluffy fur and bright colours makes the dog and somewhat realistic approach to future technology. Making what might seam like a scary concept familiar and cuddly. My favorite part has to be the glowing eyes the red tinted circles looks so cool. The wheels are a cute addition they blended well and just work well. I like the Sound box too it just a fun addition. I don't like the nose for I think it doesn't blend well with the rest of the dog. I don't like how the green eye doesn't light up as well as the other. I don't like how I didn't find a way of creating a switch for the eyes. If I was to redo the assignment I might make some sort of collar for the dog. I would make a better looking nose for the dog. Lastly I would do some thing to make the other ear more tech like.

Art movie reflection

Art Movie Reflection

To create the art movie I used the given clips and some new ones from video.net then edited them using premier pro. Honestly I found coming up with a good idea in brain storming very difficult most of my ideas I didn t like or were to violent for school. Eventually I sort of gave up taking the loose idea and just messing around with the order of diffrent clips trying to get something to work. Just a lot of trials and error. In the end I settled for a basic environmently friendly message that I hope shone through the kind of jumbled mess I made. I tried but I can not say whether in complete confidence that I liked what I made and I do not think even extra time ever would save this grade.
The idea I started attempting to make was supposed to be environmental however it kind of evolved into a apocalyptic environmental message. The beginning is a sunny day filled with normal actions and lots of warm outdoor feel. Then shockingly some carelessly litters, elderly people are shocked at the young population's action however time carries on pollution and progress continues in till progress destroys society and life on earth.
The clips have been edited by blending and overlaying of other effects. Also I added some transition and filters to add a fluent flow to the project.
For this project the award was in just getting something I personally like to hand in. I didn't really like the project overall however experimenting with the program and editing old movie clips was the the best part.
My favourite part that believe is the best part are the ink flower part it just has what feels to be a very elegant flow to it that conveys just the right mood. If I had more time I most likely would have found better music or attempt to add and balance sound effects , also work on making some parts faster and other slower which I know was not done to the best of my ability. I also would of liked to use more of the old movie clips than I did use however over all for how long it took me I think the project turned out alright.

Brain Storming and clip parts

I like in dead men don't wear plaid the part when he opens the locker and looks at the list .
in metropolis I like the part when people are running out side the building and the doors of the building covered in smoke and the guy falling
in Potemkin I like the shocked face of the guy with glasses and  the people running in the streets with.

Brain storming
1 minute long vague  story with meaning
chopped up clips to look like a whole  
add thing to it leave ending up to interpretation 

loose story line 
for my movie maybe I would like to have the spy open the locker, then may be a couple shots of buildings people running  the end of metropolis with the running, then shocked face and running from Potemkin
assassinations? use horrified faces , the man falling and the guy looking at the list maybe a flag different buildings and weapons being fired too violent 

bombs too violent

maybe thinking of something more light heart

alien invasion stars above guy looks spooked,  then shocked faces and running scenes blebk not arty

how about the guy opens the locker looks like a list ( and then the bag scene)make it seem a little like they're upset about him littering. ,add the man turning the value in reverse , then the shocked face of the guy from the end of metropolis to give a feel of some thing terrible, and  the man at the end of  Potemkin angry face and shocked look of the guy with glasses 
setting? buildings? people not noticing?
implication that he has done something unforgivable, possibly the people running in the streets and the horse to add outrage add plants dying
