Journal 9 - Week of March 28th


This week we saw a different medium of film. One I have not seen since I was a little kid and it did not have an impact on me like this when I was a kid. Vladmir came up with a unique way of story telling using view masters to show pictures while telling unique stories. She showed us four short stories using the view masters to show us pictures that went along with the stories. I thought they way she came up with this idea was original, but it did not catch my attention like it did everyone else. I thought the stories she came up with were very original. The one about the big machinery that magically appeared in certain locations. Usually you would find the story kind of dumb, but the way it is presented and the music that went along with it, gave it a mysterious feeling. The other one I enjoyed was the last one about the man, the train and the deer. When it came to the part where you were clicking the view master super fast was sort of funny because the whole time every click was in sync and then at that point it was numerous clicking sounds that sounded out of order throughout the lecture hall. Did I have a feeling of independence with using my own personal view master to watch this? Not really because we were told when to change the pictures to view the next one and we were told what we were listening to. All together it was interesting to partake in, but I would never go further into this to see more.
