Rush 1: Initial Thoughts on Final Paper

Rush 1: Initial Thoughts on Final Paper ( 1/30/2011)

At first thought I think i would like to do an analytical paper and expand on what i chose for my mid-term paper. I am most comfortable with writing in this context and feel I can relate personally to some of the terms we are working on this semester. We have only watched a couple films so far but I am already intrigued by the "bleeding" and "surging" aspects of comedic films. I feel people can relate and to those forms of conversation, one with conversation taking an awkward turning point unknowingly and one where one also later realizes they are using the same words for different topics. I find this appealing to myself and observing this especially in silent films.

I think I would like my paper to be formed on this topic and to tie it into silent films, because I am always used to watching movie with dialogue and its almost as though it spelled out for the viewer in modern films. The idea of pure observation and interpretation which is much more so left to the mind engages the viewer much more and find that something unfamiliar to myself and fascinating. I also love Charlie Chaplin films so I think I might take his films and use them to fin patterns and connections with the actors emotions and visual expressions to tie into my topic. I might also want to add to this topic once we dive into more topic in the semester but so far this is what I feel i will be interested in for my analytical paper.

Bio- Questions Response

As a returning student I have answered the last question....

What would your dream job be 5 years from now?

5 years from now i hope to have a stable job at a company specializing in children's animation and illustration if I were to find a great local studio. I would also be interested in working at Microsoft in the design/creative department for the experience, opportunities, and benefits, and location. I feel that would be ideal at the time because it could launch me into other "higher" or more desired professions and give myself experience at a such a large company. I would also be very into moving down to California to explore the job market because I ultimately would like to work for Pixar. That would be my ideal "dream" job that most likely won't happen in 5 years but with experience could potentially happen later on.
