Dark days

This documentary “Dark Day” really connects to the audience and has a clear message. This showed a lot of detail. The characters show and talk about how they became homeless and their struggles through all of this. They talk about all they have been through and their struggles and hustles to make it and survive through the bad times during that part of their life. They all lived in a dark tunnel right near a train. This documentary shows them from the bottom and them trying to make it in life. They were barely surviving. Finally you see them happy when they each get an apartment of their own. They got an opportunity in life to live better. They started out on the bottom and worked their way up to the top.

The color through this whole documentary was black and white. These colors are dark, dull, plain and boring. These colors represent them living in a dark and dull and plain place with lives that were not exciting. The intense music during these frames shows the lives of these guys and how they just dragged. At the end the music is more happy because they get their own homes. They were not living exiting lives and color brings excitement. Black, white, and gray are not exciting and happy colors. This is why this goes with the shots in this documentary. They were showing their ways to the camera and their everyday struggles. Just being themselves.

The guy talks about how he ended up living the way he did. He says how he was scared at first then realized that no one goes into tunnels anyway because they are scared of what is down there so he somewhat felt like no one was going to mess with them even though they had to deal with the rats. He talks about how leaving in the tunnel he didn't have to worry about things you would have to worry about if he was living in an apartment. He didn't have to worry about paying bills and could basically do whatever he wanted and didn't have to worry about anything. He liked living like this.

After living like this for years the end shows them tearing up and destroying their place in by the tracks. They are moving on to a better life and going to have their own homes. The moods in the documentary change. They are living better and happier lives and never want to go back to the homeless life again.

Just like the other documentaries that we have watched in class, this one leaves you wondering what happens next in their lives. This one leaves me wondering if they continue to be happy with the changes in their lives. It is different because of the tone and mood. This one is black and white throughout the whole thing.

Three ideas

1. How Facebook shows a documentary through your life.
2. How Twitter is like the news.
3. How Twitter is used as a public diary.

Video Games

I never thought of video games as being art. But now that I think about it I guess you can put it under the category of art. The images, characters, shapes and the actions going on can be described as art. I use to play video games like Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto. These games did have forms of art.

I never thought of video games having a storyline either. I always saw them as something to do for entertainment and for fun. Nothing you really have to do hard thinking about. It’s just something that people do to relax.

Thinking back on games that I have played, some of them didn’t actually have a storyline. I played games like Mario Kart a lot, Grand Theft Auto, and Mortal Kombat. They were just racing, killing and fighting. There wasn’t a story to these games. Just to play for the fun of it.

There are other games that told stories. Learning games that I would play when I was younger. I think they did tell better stories then literature because it is easier to remember and understand. Some things that you may learn from a book may be boring and may find yourself less interested in it. In the game it may be easier to understand.

Depending on the game I do think that video games can tell stories better than literature. But in other games there are no storylines. All games do not have storylines but all games are considered art.

The two songs I chose was Sure Thing by Miguel and Right by Your Side by Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown. The first song relates to the begining when im talkin about meeting my bf on facebook. The second song relates to the last part of the essay when I talked about meeting friends from UK on Twitter. I'm using this song as if I was saying I couldn't live without Twitter.
