How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place?


I don't know really, but as every piece of art, in its essence cinema is politics, it's all a matter of point of

view. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn’t matter if the content is entertaining or informative, if it’s

directed to young people or old people, if it’s documentary or fiction, all of the problematics presented

in a film are a reflect of the psychology, experiences and the reality that surrounds the creator.

And having in mind that the film industry is huuuuge and really popular between the consumers,
this opens big opportunities for new creators to tell stories, create experiences that they feel like
they’re important to express, in order to denounce or make more visible certain realities that suffer
from some injustice or are simply ignored.

That’s why i love my major, because i come from the struggle, i have seen and know so much s*** that

breaks my heart, and I can't just stay quiet and ignore it. Since I was a little kid I did mind all of this and

today I'm sick (mentally), hopefully this medium will help me in expressing all of that.

    Hello, I think the same as you, many times we do not realize the importance of cinema and its influence.

    I agree with everything you said, film in any form can have a tremendous impact, not only in society but also in a personal level.

    Text structure progression clear. Though hook at the beginning might as well be worked out.

My favorite films director My favorite film director is Edgar Wright, he's a screenwriter, producer and director from England. Wright directed my favorite movies like Shaun of the Dead or Scott Pilgrim vs. the world. One of the last movies he made was Baby Driver, and that movie won several awards for sound design and editing.   He studied in the now called Arts University Bournemouth and started his career making horror and comedy short films in super8 film format. His debut in festivals called the attention of Paramount Comedy, where he leveled up his career to the point that he was able to direct full length films.  What I like the most about his style is the fast paced action editing synchronized with sound and music that he does regardless of the genre, and it's just so satisfying. It's like he isn't scared at all of innovating using unusual techniques of creating new ones, and that inspires me a lot to just try new things and see if they work. Also Edgar Wright ha...

My favorite piece of technology...

Headphones... I love them, for me, one of the most important devices in my life. They're so useful in many situations, not only for listen to music, but for study, podcasts, mastering in video editing, etc. Or sometimes you really need to disconect from the world, and once you put your headphones you can teleport to different and better places.  Personally, headphones make my life so much better because i don't have to share my music or whatever i' am listening to, it's a private space anywhere i go. So i think it affects my life in a positive way, because it's not only good for me, but it allows me to respect other people space and not bother them with what i need or want to listen.  I have these and love them so far I totally recommend other people to use headphones, especially if you're in public transport cause omg, there're people so annoying that seem to live in the past century and doesn't know headphones, please don't be one of them lol.
