Changes to my study programme

Hi!

I began to study  Film and television career in 2019, in that year the study program was mainly focused on teaching us the basics, such as handling equipment of camera and sound. And also a bit of aspect of cinematographic language and how to use this to our advantage in the creation of the stories we wanted to tell.

And yet during the only year that I had face-to-face classes,  a recurring problem that I had was the lack of actors to make our short films, we had to look for people who wanted to participate in our work and they didn't necessarily have to be actors, but I feel that can limit you a bit artistically, even when sometimes it depends on what you want to express. Also with the little time we had between each turn-in assignment, I suppose it would have been much more effective for us that the Arts department was near the ICEI facilities and thus be able to carry out short films with acting students. 

On the other hand, since the quarantine began and the classes have been online, at first most of our practical subjects had to be adapted to a new more theoretical modality. And in this way the academic load began to feel quite heavy and difficult, also because I realized that some subjects required reading a different text every week, watching movies, watching asynchronous classes. In the end it was almost impossible for me to organize my times but I think this year has been a little easier in that regard.

Time travel to the future

Hi!

Since I was little, travel in time has been fascinating to me. Even now, I usually found myself watching movies, documentaries and reading books about it.

 Recently I have been reading The Doomsday book about a young historian of the University of Oxford living in the year 2054 who travels to England from 1320, a few years before the Black Death killed most of the population in Europe. It's interesting because to travel at a specific time, especially in the past, they have to learn many things like; customs, dress, social norms, language, and way of speaking. In another way would generate a temporary paradox.

But Traveling in the future should be something surprising, independent of whether what you find is good or not, or apocalyptic even. It's just as imaginable what you can find or maybe not. If I travel in time to the future, I would go 1000 or maybe 2000 years to find a society so different from the one we know, much better, I hope.  

I would like travel to a time when we have contacted extraterrestrial civilizations, perhaps in which journeys between planets are as recurrent, as journeys between places in the world. I would like to see that, it would be crazy. And if there’s nothing apocalyptic going on, I’m definitely staying to live.
