Light of my world !

Last Friday,Sir Hardip played a non-narrative film who was directed by Ron Pricke. The film was about 1 hour 36 minutes. The film was taken in various countries in the world. At first,I thought the film was going to be all bored but when then it went on,I came to realize that the film was actually pretty interesting.It made me think,made me want to know more about Baraka. The best part is it made me crack my head and made me ask myself,why are they even showing us this ? I was there,sitting and wondering what message are they trying to convey.Then,I told myself that I should start jotting  down what I understand about each scene. Jotting it down kept me on track. Didn't want to get lost half way,so it was the best idea.If I never thought of it,I am pretty sure I will be all blank after 10 minutes.Oh ! Not to forget,each and every scene in the film has its own meaning.Its how we look up to it.Different people have different perception,so yea.All I can say that,Baraka is a extraordinary film.It even made me realize certain things in life that I can relate myself to.Besides that,what I love about this film is especially the scenes is it's honest,when you watch the whole film it puts it into context.

The obvious difference is that the chicks have absolutely no choice in what's happening to them in this situation,where else we people at least get to choose.It reminded me of being a pascaterian for 3 months once upon a time.Well,pascaterian is basically a person who eats a diet that includes seafood and excludes other animals.What made me be a pascaterian was after watching a video on how the animals were slaughtered. It was so awful till I couldn't take it. I just disagree with the methods that are used to kill and threat the animals.However,there is no need to be cruel. Fear doesn't taste good ! Since that day,I told myself that I am never going to eat meat ever again. Well,that did not happen because my dad was not really happy about it. It was so hard for him to not watch me eat meat while the rest was having them at home during dinner. But I was holding it on straight for three months.Strictly never had them.I rarely eat meat now because I don't like the fact that animals have to die to feed me even though  its part of the nature.

 

Yes,I have been to Bali and yes,I have watched the Kecak Balinese monkey chant live. Its also a form of dance and music drama(the ramayana story was played out). I visited Bali,Indonesia when I was about 16 years old with my family.It was a tour. Part of our tour,we visited a place called GWK Cultural Park. It was a huge place. There is always a free daily performance at the amphitheater.So,we were lucky to watch it live with many other people.It was great with the combination of sunset,temple and monkeys."Cak...Cak...Cak...Cak.."The dance went on for about an hour.I took a video of the whole performance but it took me forever to upload it.Besides that,the crowd was huge.Here are a few pictures taken by me during the performance.

                                                                             

 

The movie,Baraka made me realize a few things in life. Learn to appreciate every single thing in life.How lucky we are now.We have mostly everything these days compared to those time.Things have changed a lot. then and now.Well,some of us hope to have times like those.Wishing that the pretty side could just remain as it is today.In the nutshell,every human being in this earth have the responsibilities to save and conserve the environment as our future generation can enjoy what we have today.Baraka,made mt heart warm,eyes wet,brought wide smile on my space and also inspired thoughts to reflect on.

Semiology

Semiotics is the theory and study of signs and symbols,especially as elements of language or other systems of communication tool. Its a very powerful communication tool. In a simpler form,semiotics is how meaning is generated and conveyed based on what is written in our notes. We all don't think alike,so we tend to look things in different ways.Besides that,its a sign that makes meaning. The signs have two aspects signifier and signified.Signifier is the material that has a meaning and signfied is the meaning.What I also understand about semiotic is something that we can see beyond,something that makes sense in a way because its never obvious and also gives us wide imagination.

For an example,

                                             Signifier                                                   Signified

Semiotics in advertising

Let's start with this unique perfume campaign by the one and only Lady gaga. The main element here is she was lying down naked with a few miniature men crawling and climbing across her naked body.She was only wearing an eye mask. The picture shows that she has strong confidence revealing her body with her tremendous perfume on,Fame. The mask resemblance that she wanted to remain anonymous within herself.The background is plain but yet it signifies simplicity.Besides that,the image is very classy looking. She's very photogenic,her body posture pops out her look.

Media Literacy

As the whole world knows that a canadian teenager who is pasionate about music has became one of the top singer now.It took him years to come up in life.It was not as easy as what we all think to be a world class singer.Well,it all started on youtube.This young ambitious teenager posted a couple of videos of himself singing. The number of views he got was unbelievable.The recieved tons of positive feedback .People started noticing him and getting all crazy over him especially girls. He soon was discovered by Scooter Braun and now his manager.His manager,braun fixed and appoitment to meet usher raymond,a famous rapper. That was the moment his life changed completely
.
As far as the role of media is concerned in Justin Bieber's carrier he got media fame and always is in the part of headlines in media because he was a newcomer and also people wanted to see him coming up in life as a teen.They just wanted to know more and more about his personal lifestyle.Whenever there is news about him,they were always looking forward to know what's going on.Well,in the other hand Justin Bieber was so fly high famous because he had such great personality.His hair was one of the main aset girls go crazy for him.All I can say is 50-50.Yes you see milions of girls screaming over Justin Bieber but that about 1.5 billion who don't even care.The media is also into him because people these days look up in a celebritie like Bieber.Its because if you come to like a famous person immensely,you start having this strange curiosity about them,what they eat,what they like,where they go and what not.Some celebrities are willing to tell us,some are not. I would say its none of our business to interfere in their life but this is what people want to read and hear about. 

Selena Gomez,Justin Bieber's Baby Boo.

His fans were turned offed by the fact that he was dating Selena Gomez ,the
young,beautiful,talented singer. The two have been dating for quite a while now. This gave a huge impact on the people. Because most of them, especially girls were unhappy about it. 



In conclusion, what I tried to relate above is how media gave an impact on Bieber and his fans.
