Future Career

I’m studying Cinema and Television; majors are Documental, Fiction and Television. Past year I took Documental, this semester I have taken Fiction and the next year I’m going to take Television.

Well, in my career that majors are obligatory/compulsory and you should learn every job on the audiovisual area: photograph director, editing, scripts, sound, director, producer, switch, create TV programs, investigation, etc. The only problem I think (and a lot of classmates think too) are the semesters very shorts, teacher who leave us because they are making their films (or another projects) and we learn a little about the technical things. Besides sometimes we got strikes. If I could take more majors, I would like take them on Arts and theater Faculty, like experimental cinema, draw, photography, theater design for television, make up… things like these, related with colors too.

I would like job doing scripts for television programs and series, spots, documental and if I have luck I would like to make three films. I love to direct and be the organization person (like producer or director’s assistant) or make scripts. So I think I will choose this way to job. Then, to do this job, I think its necessary a lot of concentration and creativity, always.

If I was asked in a job interview about my strengths and weaknesses, I would say I need (…)

Best new year's party ever

Well, I think the best New Year’s party ever, was the last one. I always have with my grandparents this date, always it's very boring and I got drunk only with champagne and piscola. But this one among all my new year's party was the best, because 2011 was a very difficult year to me. I had a lot of problems and the New Year got to me new hopes.

I was with my grandparents, Emma and Jose, and my mom. They ate a lot of food, I didn’t because was the first time I was on diet so, I took care with food but not with the drink. There were barbecue, salads, rice, potatoes, wine, soufflés, ramitas and peanuts. My grandmother decorated the house. When we finished the dinner, turned on the TV and we watched the countdown.

My mother, my grandma and me had planned a lot of cabalas like eat 12 grapes and make a wish per month, sit and stand up, the yellow underwear, lentils, we saved money in pockets, etc. If I think about this, any wish was conceded u.u but it was a wonderful way to leave behind the terrible 2011.

Later, arrived my uncle Antonio and his family and I drank a lot of champagne and laugh a lot with family histories although they were repeated. My uncle brought the cotillion and was very beautiful.

Little things to be a recycler person.

I think people can learn about environmentally friendly practices at home with little things like turn off the light and close water keys when you’re not using them or in the garden you should wet the floor before you sweep it because dust don’t pollute, for example.

I haven’t incorporated recycling into my habits because it demands a lot of time, I haven’t informed about the different practices and because I forget it. I think I don’t have mind. So, sometimes when glass break I throw the pieces into the common trash (then, I either separate the trash into organic, paper, plastic or glass)

I don’t have a car. I live so far of the university then I have to take bus and it take about an hour. If I used the bike, I would take two hours… It’s a lot. But in summer or holidays I try to use the bike as much it’s possible.

Sometimes in Ahumada street (or some like that Estado or Huerfanos I don’t remember the name of the street) in the centre of city, there are a lot of stand with different organizations, among them there are eco- organizations. I would like to join to someone but I don’t have a lot of recycling habits and they ask your signature, money and a pledge with the organization…so I don’t have enough time and money to take the pledge.

Well I think all people should learn little practices like trash separation or use the bike little more. Chilean government is very capitalist so the bike price go up in the last years I think. Besides there is not cycle paths in the far areas like La Pintana (before Transantiago there is one cycle path, the largest in Santiago, but we missed it). All is business. But these are little and easy things to start: trash and bike.

Video Game

I don’t know a lot about videogames and I’m not good playing them. But the videogames I know are Donkey Kong, Mario bros, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instict, Street Fighter, Pacman and the Sims. Latest videogames I know where Angy Bird and Bubble Switch Saga (or some game similar) and some games of WII. Well, the only one game I choose of these is Mario Bros because I always play it without get bored me. I know it since my father gave me a Nintendo console and I played it so many times, many hours with my cousins. I didn’t love it so much I preferred to play to hide- and –seek or play in the park… but when we played with Nintendo we compete with candies. I never got to complete the game, because Mario Bros has a lot of versions with a lot of levels or “worlds” like the country, desert, sea, under sea, Egyptian pyramids, etc. My favorite Mario Bros is “Super Mario World” by this graphics, music, the character Yoshi and the colors, although I played it few times.

Loving Dalí.

My favourite famous painters are Frida Kalho, Vincent Van Gogh and Salvador Dalí... but today I will choose to tell you about Salvador Dalí because he had a very close relationship with the audiovisual world.  

"Lugubrious game", Dalí 1929.

He was born on May 11th of 1904, Catalonia. He had a brother who died nine months before him and his name also was Salvador, so he had a personality crisis where he thought he was his dead brother. In the year 1916, Salvador Dalí discovered the contemporary painting when with his family traveled to Cadaques and meet to Ramon Pichot who advised him to continue with paint and draw. Then in 1922 he entered to Student's Residence in Madrid and studied at the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando (here he know to Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Buñuel) until 1926 he was expelled from the academy because he said nobody had the capacity to exam him. 

In 1929 he joined to surrealist movement and collaborate with Luis Buñuel in one of the first surrealistic films: A chien Andalou. 

Surrealism is a literary and paint movement based on Dadaism (nihilist destruction) and the psychological theories. This style tries to express how the mind works. So the interpretation is very difficult and used to use the Freud and Jung theories, although they are not enough after all.  

Dalí paintings talk about what how much mind is uncontrollable and out of order; then sometimes his paints had cropofilic messages. So, I love Dalí paintings because his freedom and his indecipherable messages.

  

The Best Holiday

 My best holidays were on 2008 summer. I always travell to Coquimbo, every year. Sometimes It has been a bit boring the same places and the same persons but that was a very fun travell. That year I remember that my aunt was living with her couple and She had a little red car. She was telling to my grandparents about her trip with her boyfriend and I want to go with Them so I invited myself and She didn't say anything. Next day arrives to my grandparents house a girl who I couldn't  meet but I knew She was niece of the boyfriend of my aunt and  the next day I meet her a little more in the long way to Coquimbo.

The first stop was on Los Vilos. In there we took some pictures but we didn't talk a lot.

They are my aunt and her boyfriend.

The second stop was on Ovalle. I have family in there, so that was the central point to all our little trips by the region. In there we eat Parrillada and we went to a lot of rivers also reservoirs like Tranque "La Paloma". From there We had little trips and for the first time I visited a lot of places wich I had not been before in Coquimbo. I visited "Valle del Encanto" a place which have a lot of archaeologic vestiges/traces, Pisco Cochiguaz, Gabriela Mistral's house and Canela. I had visited Tongoy but in this travell I know a black beach in there and I also knew Socos.

One of the returns to Ovalle, I finally get to meet the unknowing girl and we became big friends until today. One day we bought Gatolate and talk a lot. We had a lot in common and because of this I think they were the best holidays in the lastest year in my life. I travelled a lot and I meet a really great friend.
