Questions:

What was your inspiration to teach Japanese in America?

-Back ground such as home, education, and family lifestyle.

What topics do you teach for the East Asian Studies Minor?

-Language, culture, etc.

-Benefits such as learning about culture or expanding horizons.

Who else teaches classes for the East Asian Studies Minor (Professors from IUSB)?

What is the history of the east asian studies minor?

-When did IUSB get the east asian studies minor?

-How popular is it?

-Has there been an attempt to remove it for some reason?

Music Video Analysis

I decided I'd talk about a music video that I knew very well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM80F_J-QHE

Mutual Core is something I listen to everyday. It's a piece that I've interpreted over and over and keep finding something to appreciate.

An interesting feature is that this music video provides the audience with visuals related to the lyrics. A mutual core is the common ground between tectonic plates. Aside from the obvious there is something hidden in those lyrics a meaning behind the words and the image.

Toward the end two semi-human figures made of fire and earth arise back to back. Their relationship as the tectonic plates meeting suggests this song is about something more than earth and lava. It seems like a song of passion between two people sharing time for love.

Music Video

OOOOOOOH LORDE!

How there is so much good music in the world without a music video to facilitate the proper visuals to accompany the exotic sounds and features of the music I love! (I'm looking at you fan made music!)

A bigger problem persists how in the heck do I make a choice of music to use. Well "upbeat", "good," and "flexible" can't describe a music video's visuals. Those must be created for the music as an enhancement of the words, the instruments, and the tone for piece.

While I've got fan made music (Flare's lyrical version, fan of fanmusic) in my mind from a popular webcomic called Homestuck I've also got some published music (is that the term?) in my brain that like to bounce back and fourth, Sails of AWOLNATION, Now You're Just Somebody I used to Know of Gotye, and also Radioactive, even Adele's music.

Hmm my Genre isn't too clear yet but I enjoy this type of music. Complexity of meaning hidden within electronics, lyrics, and/or other music parts is what gets me. Music still feels like a mysterious force of power and emotion. \

Copy Right is also that issue. What can I create from something without stealing anything. What is there in the world to take to influence my own work? TO THE SMALL AMOUNT OF SONGS LISTED I COULD USE! *reads and thinks*

oh hey, there's not much here. I have no idea what any of these are or why .....


Creative Commons? Oh? How do I use this... hmm lets type in a song from above. ...

o- o not a search engine.

Ok song selection is difficult! To be honest I really like Sails so I am investigating the license. I've even gone to wikipedia for more info.

Hmm after thinking about these things for a long time I just don't synch with the music there. I will keep looking but so far my concept of a music video is coming together.

I want to keep it where the music is highlighted by certain aspects that either clash or encourage a listener to pay attention to certain lyrics while thinking about things relevant to them or to the time?

Documentary

A really fancy term for, tell me about someone or something. Sure this sounds easy but will all the documentaries that i like to watch, Cosmos a Spacetime Odyssey and those Youtube Videos, True Facts About ... which are completely hilarious with all the ridiculously entertaining information and commentary.

In both these cases the documentary provides me entertainment and education at the same time. It is something I ant to emulate to preserve proper edutainment but I do not have the time or resources to support a Spacetime Odyssey nor the means to create a True Facts About ... I think the best way I can do a documentary is by keeping the topic interesting, informative, but also related to the interests of others. I could talk about arty things that usually go ignored. I'll be sourcing many materials to create a form of entertaining Art History of usually ignored things that were ignored for a reason that doesn't matter too much today. Nothing vulger will be brought up but more hilarious out of context. I've yet to find an example but this is what my goal is. I could go into comics and elaborate on the weirder things that people create in our modern world.  (I lied about not having funny art in history, there's Joseph Ducrex in this post. These Memes are so funny.)

Narrative Project

What to think of when narrating, obviously presentation. Of all the things I am currently learning from speech class it is that presentation in narrative is far more important than the content. So as to avoid boring my audience I believe the presenter within the narrative should have practiced speaking. I may do it myself. But as for the concept of the narrative I am unsure of how to create this type of content. 

When I look in Oncourse for an example from my professor all I really find is information about Story Films. So I am thinking this project will be related to stories. Narration narrative is great but I realize creating a story is difficult for those minutes restrictions. I can't make a two hour movie about a subject I want to reach but in a short narrative I have a new opportunity. It may seem like a microdrama but if one concept could be chosen I believe the concept of Consequence fits well. 

Here this main character is given a choice to do or not to do a specific action. At first it will appear meaningless as if this decision has nothing to do with anything else. But In a short few minutes this decision explodes into more serious results. It's a concept sure but applying this concept to an example is where I am falling through. 

Lets see, Fred walks out of his house, hungry and ready to try new things, He drives to the downtown area where he overlooks his phone going off. In doing that he's able to stop his car right before hitting someone that hopped out of the road. He looks back at his phone and thinks about that instant decision to ignore it because he was driving. Sure it is not a negative consequence but it shows that even things that are legal have consequence we don't always understand. 

How to take the shots. First the camera will be with Fred as he walks from his house into his car. As for filling the vocal gap I am thinking of narrating Fred's thoughts with a hilarious voice over about many mundane things but satirical and hilarious. This safe and comedic tone gives us comfort that contrasts with the later shock of the moment. My point is to tell the audience that small choices matter. it wasn't that he was getting a text but it was that he was getting a call on his phone which was clearly legal and allowed.

Making choices, dear lord! Ok first question, "Favorite movies, TV shows, directors and/or music."

Ok my favorite movies is Perks of Being a Wallflower. TV shows oh well I can't name every Anime from Japan so I'll limit it to Madoka Magica, Then there are other shows... Avatar the Last Air Bender and The Big Bang Theory.

"If you could make any kind of media without restriction, what would it be?"

Flash animations. Of course, I'd need to learn how that works x)

My goals? What do I want to do when I graduate?

I want to create all the kinds of art that I can, write a story through art. Maybe not for fame or fortune but maybe to say to myself that I've accomplished something in life.

"Why are you interested in making media?"

The answer is because I want to learn how to make media according to standards that are different than my own. Learning is the best part of my life so far. Discovering what can be, what is, and what was are all pretty great. Not exactly a search for a specific experience but a journey through many.
