Hello!
It’s been about a month since the last post. In the time between then and now I’ve been working to figure out the exact specifications of the thesis project’s paper/film. I’ve begun to think more seriously about the music I’m using in the film. Initially, I had wanted to take a more obviously silly choice (see the media file in an earlier post), I think it makes more sense to pick a song that is more truthful of the characters aspirations. Being the ever-present-music-mashup-admirer , I put two songs from Barry White’s Together Brothers together to make the opening title sequece. The song reminds me of a big opening song from a blacksploitation film of the 1970’s; with that hyper-masculinity in music, the juxtapositioning of rather dull living situations creates an interesting dycodomy on screen.
