Important Object

This is a picture of the pair of objects that have value to me. My trainers help me get from A to B, they look good and they're practical. They are pink sketchers, size three, and they only cost me £15.99 from TKmaxx. I love the design of them, they are very feminine, with floral designs on the stripes down the sides and on badges on the laces, yet still practical, unlike some girls trainers you get that are more like shoes that you can't do anything in. They help me "expand my knowledge of myself, my environment, world past and future" because as soon as I put them on my feet i am capable of almost anything, i can walk or run about and explore the world around me, and without them I wouldn't be able to do much at all.

Narrative Project

Met up with my group yesterday, came up with a storyline for our film that i think everyone is really pleased with. i'm really excited to get started with the storyboards and things, and costume shopping!!!! Also had a really good seminar yesterday, went out and made a film about 'fighting compulsion'. It was areally good laugh, and a good way of gettiing to know more people on the course.

Thriller. Bit wierd, man draws a portrait of a stranger on the train, he gives her the picture and starts chatting her up but he seems agitated and overly horny. She tells him she has a boyfriend and gets off at the next stop after giving him back the picture, he follows her and theres a short chase. In the end he catches up with her and pins her down, then asks for his wallet back. It sounds like an alright story line but for some reaon it just didn't work well in this film.

www.pawky.com - Dealing With Women - Written and Animated by Julia Vickerman

This is a short animation about a man's past experiences with women and why he feels indifferent about them, hatred and loathing because of their manipulation, but at the same time he can't get enough of them. The film was narrated by a male voice that was slightly monotonous, and sadistic but i think this worked really well, it also incorporated a little speech from other characters, ie. the females. I found this film funny yet so true.

www.pawky.com - Eviction - Directed by Steve Loff

This is a short documentary about a family in New York being forcefully evicted from their apartment. They are not being evicted for not paying rent, but for occupying two apartments in the building, and this is due to the recent split of the parents. In the film you watch how the family react both emotionally and physically as their door is being knocked down by the police. Although it is a short film the viewer learns quite a bit about what is goin on because of text appearing to explain the story. I thought this was a very effective way narrating the picture without having to have a voice speaking over the scenes.
