A3 Electronic Assignment

ART & Technology (211) Prof. Blanka Roundtree A3 Electronic Assignment As things continue to change so do the way in which we use them. The new innovation of touch screens are more compelling to people and have propelled lifestyles in numerous ways. Influenced by things such as touch pads; found on laptops, touch-screen; often found as an additional feature on iPads, Kindles, and some Television. Times have changed significantly. Yes TV’s are now becoming accessible with touch screen sensitivity. Dating back there isn’t an exact form of technology that influences the touch screen we see today. However, the Palm Pilot was probably the closest thing to what we see in regards to touch-screen capabilities. Technology is currently at a state of constant evolution and the way to the future is by touch. A good example of a technological creation from back then, that resembles some of the things we see today as mentioned is the Palm Pilot. This particular creation paved away fo...

These in particular caught my attention and eye for many reasons. More specifically there was an excerpt that happened to be "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory." Already a fan of there work and there movie qualities more recently, this opera was quite pleasing to me. Aside the point, the colors stood out, the scenes were brief but well engaged, the singers sounded very in tune, and overall it was pretty good quality. I enjoyed the joyous natures of the actors and singers. The music was very upbeat and exciting. There were numerous styles of opera were displayed and that was interesting because they a...

Opera Review "Bluebeard's Castle"

Marcus Goss Art & Technology (211) Professor Blanka Roundtree February 15, 2018 *https://youtu.be/WQEqUzGCjmQ* After multiple efforts of selecting an opera to watch, I chose “Bluebeard’s Castle” by Bela Bartok. The original release of this Opera dates back well before the 1920’s and was shot in the interior of some sort of dark stage room set. The clip started rather awkward simplyThe “Mise en Scene” for the movie w because it gave the name of the actors prior to the clip rather than what we are use to, in seeing them afterwards.as consistently steady throughout the duration. There were sluggish movements, that synced perfectly in time with the camera motions at time. Accompanied by soothing, peaceful, loud, ambient, mysterious at times, and even mellow tones, the music being played made the motion picture easier to watch. Not aware, a notable thing I did notice however in the “Mise En Scene” or the framework and construction of the film was that, the music was a way ...

Pjotr Sapegin’s Madama Butterfly

The short film of  "Pjotr Sapegin’s Madama Butterfly" was interesting to say the least. What i took from the short film, was that life can change at the blink of the eye. Initially, the film starts with a very romantic and ideal relationship scene. Wild sex, loving memories, all inclusive time with your significant other. In a world full of joy and excitement, everything may seem perfectly orchestrated together, however, life is a cycle that changes consistently. Through it all, the idea "evolution of life"  was notably prevalent. The Butterfly throughout the film was interesting to say the least. I believe the butterfly signified a plethora of different things. Life as it evolves, life alone, the different obstacles, accomplishments, and failures of life, plus the cycle of life through existence. Furthermore, the film added a great element of opera instrumentation. The music itself was soothing and complimented the actual film footage, from a different perspe...
