My future Job

Hey everybody, hope you're doing great. Today I'm going to talk you about my future jobs haha. Since I'm currently studying a film major, I honestly can only imagine the most variated and versatile jobs in the future. Many people in the area do a lot of things, working indoors on writting, editing and planning, as well working on outdoors shooting movies, publicity or television series. I plan to do everything I can in the future (and even now) so I can learn and meet people (also to have a very solid professional life). My biggest interests are working on script writting and a further teaching career. I'd like to travel a lot participating in many film festivals in workshops and as a spectator. Also, lots of people I've known and they do work in filmmaking are always traveling around Chile or South America working on their projects. I cannot say that is the way I'm headed to but I'd like to do the same as well.
I know for sure that it will be hard in the beginning since It's a very demanding work, specially in areas like publicity where they demand you a lot and you have to choice either to sleep or not being home for days. I honestly don't care about these situations, as long as they are useful for my career and they pay me hahaha. The few experiences I have until now have all been very good to me, so I don't worry sacrifice in the immediate future (I'm a little bit of a work addict). 

I've been thinking a lot of dedicating part of my professional career as a cultural affairs director in the organization and programming of film related cultural content in Chile. Don't know too much yet.
Before I decided to go on film major I considered studying philosophy teaching. Now I realized that I probably would have left the career hahaha and changed to something else. But the teaching desire It is still there. 

I will read what you guys think of your future :) 

My fav music artist

Hi! I will be talking today about my favorite singer of all time: Lady Gaga. I don't hear her music anymore to be honest, but when I was like 12 years old I was such a huge fan of her and she has deeply left a mark in my life as a child. I still recognize her achievements and admire her till this day. She's iconic, she's gorgeous, she's intelligent and puts a whole staging when It comes to her music. As a singer and artist she has a deep speech in the content she creates and the art concept she has developed (Haus of gaga 10/10). It is very inspiring and groundbreaking. 

My favorite song is Bad Romance so far. The first song I heard when the video was just released (I was 10 years old omg) and I was instantaneously impressed by her. It was so strange and creep and amazed me at the same time. I still sometimes play that song over and over. My favorite album It is however Born This Way. I remembered the whole art concept of the album and music videos (Also one of the first records I bought for myself) and the meaning of her songs had a genuinely connection with my feelings and thoughts at the time. The Fame Monster also such a good EP. I went to her concert in Chile when she came in 2012 with born this way tour (Glorious experience, because it was my fav album).  Finally, my favorite music video has to be Paparazzi/Telephone (They are supposed to be connected in the story). I swear I have watched those music videos A LOT. I don't know why I liked them so much ( I believe I had a huge interest of the world Gaga was creating for her music). Also Beyoncé plus Gaga committing a mass homicide and dancing with the bodies around was so iconic to me hahahaha. I always expected the third part (sad). 

At this day I do not hear that kind of music anymore. However It has a place on my memories and childhood. Now I like to hear a lot of Film score, lots of contemporary minimal music (Philip Glass for example). Lots of Jazz and blues (Bill Evans, Miles Davis and others). And much R&B (Solange, SZA, H.E.R, Frank Ocean, and many others). I have to give credit to La Rosalia, for creating such an amazing album: El mal querer.

Suffragette Review

Suffragette Review

I had not seen the film Suffragette before but yesterday I had a good time watching it. Although is very predictable in every event that the characters suffer or do, it was still enjoyable to me. I did know about the real stories of some the characters like Emily, and I thought that the film embraces very well the construction of the reality in terms of the world they live in and how the characters moved around it. 

My favorite character is of course, Maud. Because she is the protagonist and we accompany her through the whole movie. She represents the very emancipation of women and every cost it had (and still has today for many other). I liked the use of the character and her transformation arch to unfold the stories and the themes represented. A very complex character with many narrative lines that leaded her to achieve that emancipation. I also liked the fact that the women represented are laborers and often poor (although they have that very "clean" poverty look), it helped the story to have a much more depth and sense of realism.   

The camera treatment is one of the things I liked the most, sometimes the movement made the film look very documental and the realism of the emotions and characters were expressed on such movements and decisions in the photography work. The closed shots at the beginning were evolving to wide shots at the finale and gave me a breath of the tension and monochromatic choices of the first part of the film. That is one the things I didn't like that much, the staging. As I said, the characters, the camera treatment, the film editing and so on made the film very realistic, not the staging, at least in those very yellow shots at night or at Maud's house. Those places were so not interesting and aesthetically appealing to me, specially the lighting. I don't remember those scenes too well in comparisons of the daring wide shots and bright-blue/green colors towards the finale. 

My favorite scene was the footage film of the real Suffragette women in the finale, because It was the first moment I felt impressed and actually felt something. The film was very predictable because of the classical structure, yet the footage moved me all of a sudden. The film has very valuable achievements that I liked besides all.
