#hwa7 #listening i think ive focused on the physical elements of clothing so far but my piece (especially gpt's part) tends to lean more towards the emotion attached to clothing. this is smth i can work on revising by listening to the piece itself so far.

#hwa7 #thirdvoice the third voice emerges from the audiences understanding of the media shown. it is an interpretation of the environment and its anti environment, a link between both. its diff from the artist and gpt's voice bc it is created by interpretation and is not restricted by genre

#hwa7 #surrealism patty rejects the idea that surrealism must be intricately constructed. she more so claims that surrealism must be authentic and straight from the creative mind. she pushes for the idea that surrealism must be weird trippy andhave an antienvironment

#hwa7 #budgetconstraints she discussed including props form a specific time period bc that is what was avaliable to her. this makes me learn that a theme can emerge just bc of the avaliability of resources i have. structurally, i think building on this theme would contribute well to the narrative.

#hwa7 #propsarenotjustprops first this makes me think of symbolism, what does it mena to match them or mismatch them, what does it mean to see a contradiction of form in the mirror. second, it makes me think ab how inconsistency with numbers and logical progression can introduce the anti environment

#hwa7 #propsarenotjustprops the figurines definitely felt really significant to me. i think because of the fact that there are clips where there are so many of them, then clips where there is onky a random mismatched pairing of two , then clips of two different ones looking in the mirror

#hwa7 #interviewwithpatty the way patty decsibes the anti environment as alienation is really interesting, to oresnr ta regukar thing in an irregular way. make the audience feel like smth is off to make them think more dur to the discomfort

#hwa7 #interviewwithpatty love how this part really ties in how these seemingly random props actually make sense in relation to soap operas like the fish tank and the emoji balloons. i think the symbolism is smth that u might not notice for a first watch

#hwa7 #interviewwithpatty i really love the advice of making time for what you love and doing the best with what you have

#hwa7 #interviewwithpatty the way patty describes finding props from thrift stores explains why painted dreams really represents 2017 culture. the reason it is very representative of a culture is bc patty simply used what was available

#hwa7 #interviewwithpatty i find it interesting how patty says she did creative writing, filmmaking and theater at the same time. you can def how each influenced her process when u think of the dancing and dialogue, the narration and the different shots throughout.

#painteddreams this is such a 2017 production with the fidget spinner, emoji balloons, and hoop earrings. i think its interesting how you cant understand half of what is happening int he video, but u can obviously recognize a time era from a couple frames

#painteddreams usually ppl laigh on the outside and cry on this inside, this is the oppostie tho

#painteddreams loving the contradiction in this clip

#painteddreams why is one person "what's his name" and the other is "quinn"? why name some ppl in the stories and not name others. both characters seem important to the story tho

#painteddreams "did i leave my oven on?" yes, the existential question on human awareness

#painteddreams i feel like the intro is just filmed on straight up vibes. like im not sure if any of the random items shown like the febreeze and emoji balloon really mean much.

#painteddreams hey! toilet paper is still there ;)

reads end credits

#painteddreams this part of the video almost makes it seem like the video is over but then it keeps going. kind of seemes like smth went wrong with the editing and this clip wa smeant to be at the end. intentional disruption? maybe forcing us to read the statement bc everyone knows noone really

#painteddreams this video reminds me of sme3 in the sense that there are constant elements and changing ones. figurines and ironing are constant. fidget spinner and posture are variable.

#painteddreams think the paino music in the back is interesting. kind sounds like an infomercial at times.

#painteddreams love how the narrator talks about how every avant garde movement thought they were breaking the norm and reforming the world. i think as humans we have a tendency to convince ourselves that out legacies are more important than they really are. maybe its our way of coping with death

#painteddreams noticed the small figurines at the bottom of the frame. are these there for continuity? are they there to represent the narrators childhood looming over, like her personal context behind the scenes?

#painteddreams i find the ironing really interesting, kind of like the monologue is just her thoughts as she goes through daily life.

#sme3review the shot at 3:08 kidn of seems abrupt and sort of repetitive in comparison to the other clips. I think bc of the previous clips showing the final product, this shots's meaning/value is reduced.

#sme3review the video appears time dependent, like the folding occurs linearly in correlation with time.

#sme3review the shot at 3:07 showing the final product helps to establsoh the idea that the folding is intentional and that a final product was always meant to appear

#sme3review i seem to be learning how to fold paper/origami. at 1:35 when the folding starts to turn triangular (for some reason?) this signals to me that the folding of the paper has meaning and that the paper will take a final form.

#sme3review the video seems to be focused on form, the folding of the paper throughout the entire video highlights this pretty well. the pauses to show changes in form at 2:11 and 1:19 also highlight this theme
