Sketchbook Notes
In Class Art Film Screening
Grizzly Man (2005)
Werner Herzog

The day was mainly spent watching the art film. I jotted down some notes. It is quite interesting how he sort of repurposes someone else(Timothy Treadwell)’s footage and life story into almost a new narration by adding his own takes(point of view as narrator, interviews with other people who had met Timothy Treadwell prior to his death). Personally, I’m quite happy that Herzog did not include the audio of the last moments before Timothy and his gf Amie died, as firstly that would have been quite traumatizing and awful to hear and secondly and definitely most importantly, it is out of respect to the two victims.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010)
Apichatpong Weerasethakul

The day was mainly spent watching the art film. I jotted down some scenes and did rough sketches for it. Overall, I felt that the film was really abstract and hard to understand. I was quite lost at some bits, probably due to cultural differences. Certain scenes were really weird to me, for instance his son appearing as a jungle monkey spirit creature(??) that resembles mystic+beast in Marvel, or the fish spirit having sex with the princess in the lake.

The day was mainly spent going through ppt presentation of artists we should learn from, have interesting artworks or styles or concept or presentation.
There is also the consultation notes and feedback at the very end, for my preliminary presentation ideas and photos for Assignment 1.
