(10) English Language Challenges

In my daily life I'm not speaking english for the streets precisely, but... in some occasions I use some of its words or expressions. Where I use it the most is when I'm singing, because many of the songs that I like are in that language, and there's when I can apply all of this knowledge. 

In school I had good teachers so I guess I learned the basis of english, now in the University, taking this classes and writing the blog have helped me to remember some things, and to know new expressions that are commonly used by americans or british people.

But I think that most of all, the thing that had help me a lot it's to know more vocabulary, that's always necessary and it seems like never ending. Write these blogs help at that, whenever I need to use a word that I'm not sure to know, I look for it and then I learn something new.

Another thing that I need to improve are the uses of the verb tenses. I get tangled up with them because some are so similar, and I mixed up the past with the present and then I'm not sure of anything... But I think that's a things that I'll be learning with constant practice. 

It'd be great if someday -hope it's not so far- I could travel to a country that speaks only in english -So I don't mix languages- and where I can just be practicing the whole day. It must be very frustrating the first days or months, but I think that's the only way to get into learning it  really well. 

(9) Changes to my study programme

Even though I like the perspective of the career in this University, I think there comes a point where it seems that those subjects related to periodism are more important than those ones related to cinema, and that even in the first one the same materia it's repited in different classes of different years, which I think it's not necessary for us at all. Instead of that, there should be more subjects that can reinforce technical issues like photograpy, illumination, use of sound equipment, and things like that, which are really important for us.

And even though I like this connection with the communication side, I think there should be a relationship more strong with arts too. It's too little the searching in this way, and it seems that all that matters in this career it's "what you say" and not "how you say it", or at least that's what the subjects reflects, even though in the practice you can experiment by yourself. 

I think five years it's a lot, so the changes I said could be done. And if they can't, maybe there could be more elective classes that includes those themes that are not being enough considered, like art direction, an area that I'd really like to develop, but which seems to not be important in this "social-political-communicative University", because it has been taken way too superficially.

I remember to finally have this art direction class the past year, and that I became so disappointed :( and I remember that sudden there was this “color” elective subject that didn't exist before -the only one that can be related to art direction- but then everyone wanted to join, so they didn’t give me a space in it </3

(8) Summer plans

I haven't thought about how I will live this next summer, there are different possibilities, but I've been keeping that mission to Camila of the future.

I thought some time ago that I could do the University's practice during the summer, but now it seems that I can not because of the schedule.

One of my cousins told me recently that we could travel this summer, and go to another country like Peru, Uruguay or something like that. But the truth is that I do not have any money now and I think I will not have afterwards neither. So I think that there is a big possibility of the course of this summer, to find a nice job the first month, in December or January and then, with the money, think of traveling with friends or family.

The other option is to be with my father in La Serena, where I lived most of my life, and just be relaxed, go to the beach, go out in the night and just sleep and eat a lot during the day, that attracts me a lot too haha. La Serena in summer is so different from the rest of the year, there are plenty of tourists and lots of night life, so it's a lot more fun. And go to the Elqui's Valley is always a good option too, camping by the river and being with the nature, seeing the beautiful sky at night. Mm .. and I think that I'd like to attend workshops and take classes of dancing, singing or whatever too. But I'm so indecisive! I guess I'll try to do as many things as I can.

(7) I'm fine in the present (?)

I think I would not be prepared to go to the future and see things that I could'nt understand, I'd get depressed or something like that  by how things turned out, and how society and technology have developed. I'm not a fan of technology so that's the main reason of why I think that travel to the future could make me feel sad or empty. 
Nevertheless, I do not think I would like to travel to the past neither, maybe to a remote past, in the origins of human history or something like that so I could understand some present behaviors, or maybe I would travel beyond, until prehistoric times, so I could see dinosaurs and plenty of extraordinary animals.
But, even so, I think I'd prefer to go to the future to analyze how humanity will change, and see if there are things that are different than now or If there are problems that can be fixed before they happen. 
I think that's my main interest to travel, the possibility to see ourselves, and our political, social or emotional changes.
I'm very sensitive so that's why I said before that maybe seing a future society that may be really related to technology -like it seems now- could make me feel bad... but that'd be just because I wouldn't understand it, so I'd just have to be very open minded. Maybe in the future lot of things will be better than they are now, so I'm just been being pesimist, yey!

(6) POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

If I finish this career someday, I'd consider taking a course related to art. 

In cinema I like art direction among other things, and I think I could continue studying that, but also I like the idea of arts in general, having subjects like color theory, art history, sculpture or painting, I don't know what exactly the subjects are, but all must be interesting to know about. And knowing a "little of everything" could help me in the future to make different things that may appear in my life, not necessarily a specific job or work in general, because I think that knowledge would be helpful just to express myself, and to see life in different ways. It all sounds kind of abstract thought, because I haven't been thinking a lot of a postgraduate course.

And continuing that idea, If I could choose where to study, I think I'd prefer abroad, in a quiet and peaceful place with pretty views, and with great teachers that develope creativity and that aren't strict with their class, so I could feel free to do anything but with their guide. Also in a part-time course, so I can do other things daily, work or other activities that I like.  Well... I guess I have no idea of what I want, how sad :(

(5) My future job

It seems like people that are studying filming aren't sure of what their future look like, and I'm one of them too. It may be because of the instability of the industry in Chile, or just because we're not sure of what we want.
I think that a job related to cinema can offer you many possibilities, but at the same time it looks like there aren't many options, do I make myself clear?
In my case, I don't know what I want for a future job, I know that I'd like to continue working in something related with the career I studied, but I don't know exactly what would that be.
I'm opened to new experiences, and I'd like to keep studying things, even though I'd have to work in little things just to pay that.
The idea of living with just one -and always the same- job doesn't attract me, I prefer to be constantly changing, so I could learn more and be surprised more often. In this point of my life I don't really care about the money, so if I'm happy with my job -whatever it is- that'd be okey for me.
Let's make that Camila of the future think that better!

(4) My favorite movie

I still don't have a favorite movie. Someday I will dedicate my days to find it, but not today nor tomorrow ..
But, I remember some movies that when I finished them I felt really amazed, although I haven't seen them after that, so I couldn't called those "my favorites". One of them is "Mary is happy, Mary is happy", a thai movie from 2013 that I saw in Valdivia's cinema festival. It was about two friends in school, where the most attractive thing was that this story was constructed around several tweets from a real girl, that the director takes and interprets.
It's a movie that gets to mix reality with consciousness, somethhing like a virtual experience. I liked this tangled way of narrative and the dispersed protagonists,  with their constant thoughts that created a feeling of emptiness too.

Now I can't find it with english or spanish subtitles (only on thai ones), so if anyone knows where I could find it I'd love him/her forever <3

And the most recent movie I saw was Akira, an animated movie that I recommend, because it has an interesting draw, it has a good argument, which involves political and religious or philosophical topics and it has a lot of action so it's really entertaining too. (And it's like Evangelion).
