BLOG 5: A PHOTOGRAPH

Hi, I am not related to the topic of photography, so I decided to select one photo of the World Press Photo, searching across the years I found one photo of the year 2016, that I liked and think that I can use. 

This photo shows a humpback whale and her new born calf in Roca Partida, the smallest island of the Revillagigedo archipelago, off the Pacific coast of Mexico. 

The photo was taken the 28 January of 2015 by Anuar Patjane Floriuk, a Mexican photographer and anthropologist. This picture won the second place of the World Press Photo in the category of Nature, Singles.

When I look at this photo I lose my breath, it´s like being under the water, in the silence that the sea represents and the slow motion of the movements. Is in this moment where the whispers of the whales can be heard, where the mother and her calf share the peace of their migratory season. 

BLOG 4: MOVIES AND SERIES

Hi, today I am gonna talk about a movie called Interstella 5555 - The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, this is an animation musical science fiction film, from origin Japanese-French, and is the visual realization of Discovery, the second studio album of Daft Punk. This film was produced by Daft Punk, Cédric Hervet and Emmanuel de Buretel with Toei Animation under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. The particularity of this film is that it doesn´t have dialogue and uses minimal sound effects.

The plot of the film tells the story of the abduction and rescue of an interstellar pop band, where the objective of the kidnaping was erase and take their minds in disks, to use the alien band to obtain fame and the “Golden Record Award”.

The main character of the movie is Stella, the bassist of the band, the others members of the band are Arpegius, the guitarist, Baryl , the drummer and Octave the keyboardist and vocalist. Other members are Shep, the astronaut that want to rescue the band and The earl de Darkwood, the captor of the band and the main antagonist.

When I was a child I saw part of this movie, I really liked the music of the movie and the form in that only the music can relate what is happening in the movie, the sad and the happy moments, the changes of the tones in the moments of mayor tension. Later like 5 years ago I try to find this movie, but my memory is not good so was very difficult. The moment when I find it was very special to me, the memory and the emotions of my childhood when I saw the movie come back, and I was really happy of find the movie.  

The movie has as core the use of the music, the rhythm of the sounds and the tone of them are very related with the film, so if you like that type of music and the animation of the 2000´s I think that you are going to like this film. 

BLOG 3: MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

My favourite piece of technology is my actual computer, in my life I had like 3 computers, always computers of desk, the first that I had was when I was 5 years old and I was very impressed with the games Solitary and Searchmines, we didn´t had connection to internet so I and my sister always try to play that games. With the pass of the years the computer was changed and the things that I would do too, so I started to play videogames after the school and the study, that until the day of today. The last year for my birthday I received my last computer, this is a real change to my past computer, because was very old and it had many problems in the moment of use it.

The mentioned computer 

  I use the computer to talk and play with friends that I meet and live in other cities of Chile, so, with the computer I can share and talk with them. I use the computer every day, always I have something to do in the computer, read a paper, study, play and talk with friends, listen to music, search images to draw, the things that I enjoy and that I dislike are connect to my computer, so I really feel like a mainstay of my life. So yeah, I think that a part of my life is linked to my computer.
