Camera Obscura

This was a difficult project for me. Trying to understand the idea and creating the box to working with a 9month old baby. Ive had to watch several videos to finally get a decent box made as pictured below. The idea was to get a couple shots of my backyard and a couple shots of my son playing in his bouncer. I enjoyed taking the images I am a filmmaker so it was difficult for me not to hit the record button and see exactly how it would come out. The pictures of the backyard and my son was a fail and these are the images I took. I tried a different way I found on youtube and came out with a better but darker image of my son which in return I think was the wrong way to do it.

Angel de Quinta’s STAGE DOOR Blog

Broadway to me is very similar to Opera when it comes to my natural reaction and interest in the topic. I do see and enjoy broadway musicals and plays more than an opera, Maybe because the music seems more modern and the plays seem more relatable I can easily find something I can relate to. I also, understand clearly what the topic of the broadway show is. I do see the similarities in both styles of music you can even say broadway and opera are the same just placed in different times. From my understanding a Broadway show is theatrical performances which I'm sure that's what opera is. the videos in Angel De Quinta's blog sound very different but very the same and similar to operas.

I just want to firstly state that a lot of this music the style is all born from a certain area and all sampled away all built in Africa.

House Music - Chip E was an American Dj from Chicago who was a huge stand out in the House Music genre. House music was a huge art of sampling different beats to create your own sound. Amazing music when you sit down and just listen. Girl Power - DB- Boulevard a group I always find it very important for women to be in music.

Pyotr Tchaikovsky "THE QUEEN OF SPADES"

The Opera I chose is Pyotr Tchaikovsky “The queen of Spades” which premiered in March of 1890 in St. Petersburg Russia. It was an adaption from Alexander Pushkin The Queen of Spades. The Art piece is a three act 7 scene Opera. At the start of the play what caught my eye was how still the people around the main character stood while the first few minutes played out. They stood absolutely still sort of like statues. This adds to the “Mise en Scene”. The Music told the story it guided you through what was going on. When the people finally did start to move it kind of felt like a distraction while they switched up the props and scene to go into what’s next. I’ve never sat down and watched a play in full let along an Opera.  The Opera singing is what is hard for me to understand and pick out what they are saying and the importance to it all. With all the moving pieces and people, it was hard to focus on one thing to really catch on to what is going.  The music guides you ...
