The first day of class was awesome... didn't know what to expect but so far I can't wait to do some more scratching and learn more. 6x1 is the arts and crafts class of Film Studies.
We started out the semester by watching Scratch Film Junkies and it was definitely an eye-opener. I felt like at first, through the blue and purple colors on the screen it was about sadness displayed through the mans expression on his face trying to find happiness. The face was covered in blue. I know that this isn't a narrative but it got me thinking more when the score/ music's melody increased. There were bars and lines going across the screen and it felt like chaos. The kids laughing lightened the mood and it seemed like they could bring happiness maybe to the man that was seen at the beginning. I thought the man was on a journey through crazy mayhem and through the kids faces and music that he was starting to find it. There were more faces of men that completely ruined the theory I was going for with the man looking for happiness so now I guess I'll just react to what happened after. Maybe this is showing his progression in life? I didn't get the kids playing with the birds or the woman at the end with the ribbon around her chest. I liked the different shapes used throughout though that were matched randomly with the bars and lines. I felt they helped create tension with the score. The use of a variety of colors didn't seem to provide any specific meaning because there was no group of colors used throughout like all darks or all lights, it was a mixture of everything. I liked the gritty look though and thought it was a cool effect. Can't wait to make my own!
