Week 1 Tutorial Reflection

After fifteen or so months off from studying full time, getting back into the swing of things is a very daunting task. That being said, having my first class of the semester having a similar set up to a high school classroom helped me to begin my ‘academic rehabilitation’. Introducing myself through my favourite movies and television shows allowed for my defining traits (a huge love of TV and film) to be shown to my classmates. Being presented with our first project, a self-portrait consisting of 2 videos, 4 pictures, 2 audio clips and a few hundred words of text, following me having to quickly think of a way to present myself to a room full of strangers was a good introduction to get me in a reflective state of mind. I am not a person who likes to dwell on myself so hopefully I can look past any insecurities and present a series of texts that demonstrate where I see myself at this point in my life beyond a love of popular culture.

It Begins… (Wk 1)

I assume every cliched ‘this is my first uni blog post’ has been used and I also assume that this attempt at meta humour is not capturing the imagination of any reader but to be fair it is pretty exciting to be surrounded by film fanatics who understand this sentence.

Movies and TV are subjective to every individual but let’s be honest… there is no better film IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER BEEN then Back To The Future. Or maybe The Breakfast Club. Well then there is 12 Angry Men. The cinematic landscape is littered with gems which have changed the way we view the world, treat each other and left a lasting impact on the pop culture zeitgeist. Movies are an artwork I have always appreciated and I hope the next three years help me to further understand every detail of the craft.

In addition, as a man addicted to television, I would recommend the reviews offered by The AV Club. I read the review every time I watch a new episode of TV and it really adds a new layer of enjoyment to see the episode through the eyes of a professional.

Thank you for you time,

Jeremy
