LA DOLCE VITA

“La Dolce Vita” was made in 1960 in Italy. It was directed by Federico Fellini and produced by Giuseppe Amato and Angelo Rizzoli.  

This film is consisdered one of the best films ever made. It was first published in the Cannes Film Festival where it came up being the winner of the  Palma d’Or in 1960. In the very same year, it also won the Oscar Prize for its best costumes.

The main characters are Marcello Mastroiann (Marcello Rubini), Anita Ekberg (Sylvia), Anouk Aimée (Maddalena), Yvonne Furenaux (Emma), Magali Noël (Fanny), Alain Cuny (Steiner)…

The theme of this story is a journalist’s life called Marcello. He has a girlfriend, Emma, and even though in the beginning of the film looks like he cares a little bit for her, he cheats on her several times with different women. He also meets with his father after being long time without seeing each other. 

Regarding to my favourite scene of the movie, I liked it when Sylvia and Marcello got into the water of Fontana Di Trevi. Sylvia got impressed by the beautiful look of the huge fountain and that is what pushed her to get in there; she did not have to insist very much to make Marcello join her. It is a nice scene and I am sure it was funny to record it.

I do not really mind about the actors, and although especially I do not have any favourite one, from my point of view, they were all okay. As far as the film, I have seen better ones comparing to this one. It does not have a plot, neither a conflict to resolve, and the story is developped not just without any purpose, but also too sowly. In fact, it is well recorded and the music is suitable for each moment.

I’m not sure about what I have learned and I think it is in the list because it is a historical movie and a very succesful one.

VISUAL THINKING

Javier de Miguel did a good work in his master class in Visual Thinking because before his class I didn't know about the impact that visual thinking has nowadays, and now I do. I've learnt that colours and other stuff help us to underline the main idea or the most important information and this could be very useful in my daily life.

BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY

This time, we've watched some videos of basic photography, to afterwarads take two different pictures. The first one is with a small Depth of Field and the other one with a slow shutter speed.




I took this picture some years ago in Vielha, Val d'Aran. It is a nice picture which reflects perfectly the depth of field.



I took this picture when I was going back home from training. I took it in the car while my mum was driving, it is the sunset of Zurriola beach and there we can see a man walking by.

VIVIAN MAIER

The last project we've done it has been an oral presentation about a photographer.
At first, the teacher gave us the name of a photographer but we didn't like it, his pictures were not nice at allso we asked him if we could change

Ane, my partner, and I talked about Vivian Maier; an American street photographer.

LETTERING

In the last class, the teacher asked us to write "welcome" in different languages which are spoken in our school, and they had to be writen in different fonts. For that, the teacher showed us a video of different types of hand-lettering, but as  I am a very bad drawer, my  lettering was so ugly.

Lettering is very important in marketing, each brand, each shop, each restaurant... has its own font, to show that, I took three different pictures of different logos as the teacher asked.

 

This picture shows the Adidas logo. It's a sport brand and its lettering is very round and simple giving a sportive impression.

This one is very different to the previous one. Casio is a calculator brand. Its lettering is simple but very technical and its shape is more alike to a square.

   As you can see, this last picture is of a Swedish backpack brand. It has the logo of a fox. The lettering is a kind of European lettering, very clean and round.

MASS MEDIA

The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass comunication.

The tools I use most of mass media are:

• The TV:  every night my parents watch the news in the TV. They usually watch the etb1 channel. Etb1 is the first TV channel of Euskal Telebista, the free channel from the Basque Country.

• The newspaper:  my father reads the newspaper in the computer; he reads different types of newspapers, such as Gara, Diario Vasco... They both are bilingual newspapers, writen in Basque and in Spanish. 

• Internet:  I use the internet for many things, to look for information, for social media like instagram.
