Movie Response Questions

Due to the fact that technology allows people to escape reality, many individuals have not only become addicted to it, but they have also become very dependent upon it. Has the use of technology gone too far, now that we have come to a point where we have to offer treatments such as the Internet Rescue School? Have we blurred the line between dependence and independence from technology; technology being only a factor that benefits our life, as opposed to revolving our entire lives around it?
Do you think that we take the benefits that we get from technology for granted due to the fact that we live in a prosperous country? To what extent does this outlook differ to someone's outlook that lives a third world country?

Ghost

Through this video I wanted to convey some of my own experiences that I have encountered working at St. Mary’s Hospital. The Ito Takashi video “Ghost” really interested me and inspired this piece because of his weird portrayal of the paranormal. The thing that I really liked about Takashi’s video was his use of vibrant colors. Although my video shooting techniques were not the same as Takashi’s, my video ties to his style through the experimentation of color usage throughout the piece.  I also had flashing objects seen throughout, such as Takashi throws in unexpectedly in “Ghost.” The biggest challenge that this piece created for me was arranging the piece in a way that tells a narrative story, and getting the variation of color usage to flow smoothly.
