Music
Music is a pure form of expression. It is easy to get lost
in the beats of your favourite artists as they play our emotions.
I am interested in the way music follows cultural and social
changes. In the 70’s we had the Punk movement, and band such as the Sex Pistols
and the New York Dolls reigned. The 80’s saw birth to a new breed of musician
from the Rock and Metal scene, sprouting the likes of Motley Crue and Guns ‘n’
Roses. Since then, other genres of music have arisen, succeeded, and been
topped by something new. Music is ever changing, but there will always be
golden moments that will never be forgotten.
Gaming
Games are a gateway into an alternate reality where the
player can be someone or do something they can’t in reality. We can be soldiers
fighting wars on terrorism, or a knight fighting dragons in medieval forts.
What is most important about gaming is it allows us to forget about reality for
the duration of the time spent playing, relax and relieve stress.
As a motion student, I admire how much effort goes into
creating video games. Not only is there the design process, but the ‘what if’
situations which could arise as the game is played.
Film
I am interested in the way technology is allowing the film
industry to progress to the point where they can make us believe anything is
real. Films such as Transformers place huge high detailed robots into a real
world setting, fooling us for those two hours that this could be real.
On the flip side, an in-depth story can allow us to relate
to the characters on screen, creating an emotional bond with them. We feel the
same emotions that the character does, and start to see ourselves in the story.
Filmmaking is about getting the audience to
believe what they see is real.
My next step is to begin some research on these subjects, look into their history, and how they are changing. The posts from here may jump around from subject to subject, but i'll try to keep it nice and organised!
