                  How money related to life 

The review of the Wired says that the main theme of this movie is that rich people are bad and only capitalize. Their goal is to get the max amount of whatever currency and be able to live long comfortably while the poor die because they cant afford to live,

The scene starts off with Will achieving a way to save the lower class from the corrupt sovereignty of Phillip Weis, the richest man alive. Here your wealth is equated to time left to live, so when they took the first large amount of Phillips’s wealth in its entirety, he went through the first 3 stages of grief in one look.

We see Phillip trying to ration with Will and his daughter to not give all his time to poverty because to him it was an idiotic idea and would mess up the system he had put in place

During this whole scene they are looking at each other, something they only do with people in their class because of the social divide, it humanizes all parties in this dilemma of wanting more time to live.

As Will had Phillip confined and walked towards the door Slyvia’s expression portrays a determined look but also realizing that with the decision she was making, her life would never be the same.

When he says “ it could cripple the system” what he means is it would kill me faster and he visibly didn’t like the thought of that

it’s like the rich fear death for themselves but ( wait for clip) And only the poor understand that but they also understand they need time to live as it says in the rotten tomatoes review to increase the value of life everyone should be able to live and everyone should be able to die

Alana Finney- Capstone

Posted by Alana Finney in Multi-Disciplinary Project · Block · Wed on Friday, May 13, 2022 at 4:20 pm

For my capstone, my goal for my final product was to create a 3D printed model of one of my characters. I briefly worked with people to create a character. I did this by interviewing and collecting data about characters people want to see. I learned styles of art to draw this character. I learned manga style art because that’s where my style developed from and was my inspiration for this capstone. I communicated with people in order to create some backstory for the character. Over the course of a year, I spent time learning tools and techniques used for fusion360( a 3D modeling platform I created my 3D model on) and modeled my character using the techniques I’d learned. I also learned how to use two types of 3D printers in order to make my final product.

Blade runners Real world relations.

Posted by Alana Finney in Reel Reading · Giknis · B Band on Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 10:57 pm

Alana Finney Reel reading Mrs.Giknis 4/26/2022 Blade runners Real world relations.

In Blade Runner, the concept of being human or humain has been pushed to say, only humans can be and define what is human and what is humain. Understanding the separation of humans and all other species, including the man made ones, is easy in a biblical sense. Humans have made the belief that we are the highest power on earth and, for some, god gave us that power. Even if blade runner has no godly entity besides devine wealth, we know humans have some sort of biblical ideal in the humanitarian society. God made humans separate and better from animals, and they see all other life forms as some form of animal, including the replicants, which gives humans the right to treat them as such. Society deemed some things safe to do to species not human, such as killing, breeding, enslavement and entertainment. In Blade Runner they enslave their own creation for their own benefits. Even if they look, act, and feel like humans, they, to society, are stil man made objects. This also raises concern about morals and what makes a human, human. From the Encyclopedia Britannica “a more highly developed brain and a resultant capacity for articulate speech and abstract reasoning.” is the most eligible definition of a human. Most would argue that the replicants have all of that since they are made to be exactly like a human, except stronger,.They have a psychological pattern exactly like ours. They have real emotions and were intended to be real human servants. They are also born of man, man made them, the thing that is keeping them from being defined as human is the societal construct that if it is artificial, it holds no real value. Similar to our world they have artificial and genetically modified foods and meat. Their world is around 85% artificial with humans being the only real things left. With our world today we have GMOs in order to maximize food production for the lively benefit of human consumption. GMOs are widely overtaking natural food for how easy it is to grow and maintain, and less expensive to produce and purchase. Though organic agriculture won’t disappear, it’s on a drastic decline. We also share similarities within our animals. We have, and are continuing to make genetically modified animals for human entertainment and benefit. We have created hypoallergenic animals so people allergic to their pets could have them. Now we are using CRISPR, a gene modifier, that will help breed better animals suitable for production. It will help increase meat production. It has not yet been proven to affect an animal’s way of life nor have any health risks. In similar ways we are affecting the animal kingdom which I find morally wrong especially since you have to breed this gene into existence. Society said that this is ok because these are just animals and it is benefiting us. In relation to the unicorn that has multiple meanings two of them being freedom and eternal life. In Their society and ours, humans have one thing in common: the search for freedom and longer life. The replicants want to live longer, as their makers gave them very short life spans, but seeing as they have the wants as a normal human, they both wanted to have time to experience life. They want to live as long as possible and they found it unfair, they got abandoned without any consideration. They were seen as disposable so they weren’t seen as something that needed to live long. Everyone in this world lives in a hierarchy like we have. Everyone wants to be freed from the confinements of living in a hierarchy.

I chose the film “Psycho” because it was a very interesting movie to play around with. It helped Alfred Hitchcock to be the textbook for most modern day horror films, with its major plot twists and elongated angst building scenes. I renamed it “Paranoid” because the main two characters suffered from paranoia. Marion became paranoid after she stole a large sum of money and a car. She felt like she was being followed and that she would eventually get caught and imprisoned. Normen suffered from paranoia, however his paranoia was a result of his mental condition. His delusions centered around a girl he thought had bad intentions because she suggested he put his mother into a better home. I made the context of the title relate to both the victim and murderer. I allowed the words to be split to represent Norman’s Obsessive Split Personality Disorder (SPD). The boy could also represent Norman’s SPD as there appears to be two arms, one is hanging to the side and the other is holding a knife. Furthermore, the man standing still with a black silhouette of a hand holding a knife says to moviegoers, the kid isn’t innocent and is a killer, like how Normen was sweet and paranoid in the beginning but ended up killing Marion. Additionally, the “I” that is laying on the floor represents Marion, who eventually lies dead on the floor. Marion gets stabbed in the shower, so I also allowed the letters to bleed because she dies via knife and gets “split”, just in a different way. These elements will help to communicate the meaning of the movie. Additionally, the second ‘a’ covers some of the knife with blood on it because the knife isn’t supposed to be the main focus. In the movie the murder is only the second part of the movie so I slightly hid the knife. This will help to communicate the tone of the movie. The whole photo produces an eerie feeling but by adding the knife and blood, it could be identified as a horror movie. I would advertise this poster only at dusk. I feel the time of day would add to the creepiness. I would change the genre from a thriller to a murder mystery because the way the movie is portrayed it is a “who done it” film.
