POST 5 (week 7) My future job

At this moment I am living in time of insecurity of what is going to be about me after I get my degree in university. I'm feeling that dedicate most of my life to filmmaking isn't what I really want, and because of that I am starting to consider other options.

I see myself recording marriages, christenings, firsts days of school. And I like the idea, because I would really enjoy the relative calm of that kind of work. Sure I would be constantly outdoor and I'd never have certainty  of a salary, two things that doesn't let me sleep in the night.

On the other side, maybe I would take another available job to gather money, lick some boots in CORFO and start my own business in electronics. It would have a lot indoor work, thing that I like, but there is also no estability about salary, so insecurities keeps in mind.

I can't see others solutions. Perhaps making videoclips for emerging bands, but as in the other cases, that don't guarantee anything to me, and is even more risky. What I have left, at least to make the degree count, being youtuber? oh please no.

Probably this mood is common in people of my generation and age, but for the reasons I explained, I don't feel in the position to say where Im going to be in the next 5 years.

POST 3 (week 5): My favorite Movie and other things related


 My favourite film is Star Wars, it's a film about a young farmer (Mark Hamill) who joins a terrorist group to destroy the main base of a galactic empire. Plot twist: Boy turns out to be son of the foreman.
There you have magic cultists vs aliens, galactic senates, space ghosts, and sound in space. It has a lot of different stuff from cultural and pop references mixed together and still works.

 I have seen that movie a lot of times since I was a child, and everytime it works to me because most of things are explained or have the enough exposition along enough time. Everything there is nonsense, but funny nonsense and actually well explained. At last, it's all about suspension of disbelief. That's why i love science fiction movies.

In the other side, I discovered one of the most disturbing films not a long time ago. I can't say it is the worst that I've ever seen, but it is easily in my top 10. It's name is Dragonfyre (2013),  a very cheap film that can define the kind of films that are exposed on buses. in simple words its about a veteran american soldier vs orcs, yep...orcs.

For sure that mix could work...maybe. Like any mix. But it must have a previous establishment of  verosimilitude, and it really doesn't have it. It is just ''I'm an ex soldier trying to retire in a farm...whoops there's orcs and dragoons in my yard, I'm going to kill all those bastards with my rpg launcher taken out from nowhere''. So, how i said, it is all about suspension of disbelief, and this movie doesn't make it.
