What a class today!

First we watched the movies everybody made for this class, what was really amuzing, and in the second part of the we talked about
"genre study
powerful language/understanding
common characteristics between one video and another"

which was really informative and intresting. It could have almost been a class in philosophy as even Aristotele's name felt.

We discussed the term of "Diegesis".

E.g music movements change over time like Hip Hop did.

Apart from that how lightening, camera, placement, music and narrative can be used to tell a story in an absolute different way. Here Phil named a good example with the music video Évi and I did about the Yellow Submarine.


Non diegetic is, coming back to the Hip Hop example the girls dancing half naked around the rapper. As they have no direct purpose for the video.

Diegetic against that is e.g. the movement of a rapper, the symbols he's wearing (Gold rings, Dollar necklace, baggy pants.

Internal diegetic is for example Sex Pistols song "Anarchy in the UK", where there is no meaning behind the song but actually only what they are trying to tell the audience.

So summarizing I must say that this class was awesome!
