Project Two-A Sample

I know we are suppose to hand in something by Wednesday, but I took the liberty of completing the assignment NOW. Well, the work obviously needs to be added upon, but still, it is 60% done. I know what you are thinking, "what the hell is she thinking?" Why did you do it now? Do you not have a life? These are many of life's questions I have always pondered myself, but the point is, that it is my last semester as an undergrad. I have about five huge projects due at the end of the semester, so getting a jump start sounded like a good idea. Well, I am now going to be the voice of reasoning: LISTEN TO CARL!! GOD, it was like pulling out healthy teeth in the span of two hours!! I am happy it is done, but it would have been better to take it one day at a time.

Well, here is a sample. I decided to Piece Touche by Martin Arnold. I like his work, therefore writing the ABCs for it would be enjoyable.

Here are the letters N and V (keep in mind, this is the first draft, so grammar is going to be HORRIBLE):

N is for Nihilism
Although the term nihilism was conceived by novelist Ivan Turgenev, the philosophy is often associated with Freidrich Nietzsche. Under the concepts of nihilism, it is the rejection of purpose, meaning and value. It is often used to describe the pointlessness of existence and a deconstruction of the truth. Arnold’s Piece Touché falls into this category by rejecting conventional cinematic norms and preconceived truths to reconstruct an anarchy of images. He purposely creates this anarchy in the celluloid images to expose a new experience through avant-garde methods.

V is for Voyeurism
Voyeurism is a term chosen because it relates to the act of viewing. Granted, it is often associated with peeping, perverted guys, who are supposedly named Tom, but the act of viewing and observation is the key ingredient to making Piece Touché a memorable experiencing. By abandoning classical film structures, the viewer cannot help but just sit and stare at the moving images. Their suspension of time is our suspension of time. We move with the images, dancing along through the unconventional film sequence.
