Not seen on TV

 

For this assignment, I chose the three transitions by Peter Campus. This video art has very detailed ways of transitioning in videos. What is going on in this video is he has these different images of himself and slowly begins to destroy each one into another image of himself. In the first transition, his back is facing the camera but you see a tear almost like paper and then the hand is seen. This hand is his hand and he is slowly coming through his back. At first, I thought it was just like a huge picture of this guy but he began to move while the hand way tearing his like a piece of paper. As the guy is ripping through, the other guy is going through the other side, as if he was going through the rip the guy had made. In the second transition, the man is wiping on some type of green screen cream that is creating a different image that appears underneath him. In the last transition, the man has a mirror or possibly a photo of himself and lights it on fire. I believe it is supposed to be a mirror because he is holding it and the picture is moving, so I suppose it is a mirror or some sort of reflection. The last one doesn't really match the first two because in the first there two guys and they are shown but in the last one only one guy is shown and he gets burnt up. I have ideas on how I could explain and make a plot for this random video but I understand that this is an art and there is really no reason behind it. How I could explain this I would say this video was made in honor of self-exploring. This meaning like in the first transition he was ripping into himself and tucking the old one away in the tear. Or in the second transition where he covered up everything except his eyes with the green screen cream. In a way, I would explain this a ladies way in putting on make-up because that is a good explanation of what he is doing to create this transition. In the last transition, he is burning a picture of himself. A way to explain this scene is he is burning his past and starting over. All of this imagery makes me think that this guy needs a new start possibly, maybe a new way to look at like, or maybe just attitude in life. I think a point that is made in this video is that you can always change and find another version of yourself inside. This piece expands television because it brings new ways to create an animation life to real-life works and the different transition used in the video also expands television world by getting creative with a green screen.

Drive to the Beach : Plotting

Image
 https://www.hdwallpapers.in/cool_beach-wallpapers.html The drive to Fort Myers Beach is an episode that I have every weekend if we do not have practice or games. The drive is an experience itself to go along with the adventures we end up having at the beach.  I gather up my willing teammates on our days off and ask them if they want to go to the beach. Most of them turn down this offer but a few think it's a good idea and come along. We pack up our beach essentials which include a chair, a cooler, sunblock, and a speaker of course! We load up the Jeep and off we go fifteen minutes down the road. The beach is about five miles from the dorms, where we live, so it is nice to be a driving distance away from the beach. Right before you approach the bridge we hit traffic. What is Florida without traffic, it would not be Florida. A quick green light flips to red and I slam on my breaks. I hear laughs from my teammates and I look over and she dumped her water bottle all in the floorboard

Hamlet: Act 1- Scene 5

Image
 I chose to analyze act 1, scene 5 in the famous play 'Hamlet.' In this part of the play, Hamlet has a word with his ghostly father figure. In this conversation, the ghost told him that his father died because his brother had poisoned him through his ear while he was napping. Of course, Hamlet is pretty surprised and upset because his mother had re-married, in less than a month of her husband being dead, to his brother Claudias. This ghost had also put in Hamlet's knowledge that Claudius and his mother were together before the King passed away. A request from the fatherly ghost is that Hamlet punishes this father's murder by killing him. In my opinion, Hamlet has every right to be upset and full of anger with his mother and his new step-father because of the two incidents. But do I think that it should lead to murder? No, because you just fighting fire with fire. I think Hamlet should have fought him and then forgave him because that is how guys work. Do I think what Cl
