Final Film Idea

I want to base my film off a journal entry I wrote when I was 15 about killing bugs. I found it in a random journal I wrote in only a couple times when I was trying to find some inspiration and creativity. Its just such a weird journal entry and its weird to think about how I was once that age and that person. I want to tell this exact story probably through a voiceover and include videos of me and videos of bugs.

I don't understand how people can just kill bugs. How they can step on them and squish them and throw them away and feel nothing. I just can't do that. Even when I step on an ant while walking home I just stop. I stop and stare at it squirm around and I feel like shit. I get this overwhelming feeling of guilt and I don't know why. Like one time my dad told me to step on a bug and I did and I heard it crack and felt it crush under me and all I could feel again was that guilt. Why did I listen to him and kill that bug? What did that goddamn bug do to me and why I care so much? Well that's just it, I care too much. I care about all the bugs that get squished and stepped on and thrown out. I care about these bugs so much.

Response to 5 Artists

Peter Campus - Three Transitions
This video was so memorizing to watch and also thought provoking but mostly just confused thoughts. I did enjoy watching it but I'm unclear on the message although I don't think it matters with this specific video. 

Bill Viola - Emergence 
This video to me seems almost religious or at least pulling towards that idea, I like this style of questionable art that doesn't display a solid message because I feel like work I have done in the past shows a similar idea.

Valie Export - Facing A Family
This video was kind of boring, the scenery never changed which made the video seem flat and uninteresting.

Jesper Just - No Man Is An Island II
For some reason I really enjoyed this video, the scenery was appealing and the song was nice to listen to. The man that seemed confused throughout the video brought reality back into this breakout of song which I liked.

Gary Hill - Wall Piece
This video made me so uncomfortable to watch but it was the sort of thing I forced myself to finish for the purpose of art. It was executed well and it was so weird to the point that you had to keep watching it.

Homework #7

I honestly never knew or gave much thought into how fonts and layouts can make or break how something is presented but after reading these articles I understand now. I remember in middle school when I'd read articles online for class I never understood why sometimes it'd be so uncomfortable to but now I know it all depends on how it was made. Some fonts can be very annoying to have to stare at for too long and I would rather look at something pleasing to the eye.
