Bladerunner: Creative Process

We chose to show Roy’s point of view with his memories. As a replicant he experienced things including fearing for his life. He was the antagonist and leader of the Nexus 6 group that went to earth but in the end, he really showed that he was scared to die and worried his memories would be gone. We wanted to show both his dark side and what we thought was fearful for him. We made a storm with pouring rain coming from a big cloud, each raindrop or tear is a collage of his memories. We decided to get the pictures wet and smeared to symbolize the memories fading away with the rain as Roy died.

Some images we included in our collage consist of the robot eye and human eyes which was huge importance of this movie. The object used to detect if someone was a replicant was also in this collage and we made sure to add Leon and Pris who meant a lot to Roy and felt the same feelings as him, fear. We made sure to add his creator Tyrell as well as the brand nexus and of course the number four which would be his year death date. We also added pictures we thought symbolized Roy’s end quote talking about attack ships on fire and C beams glitter in the dark. I chose to add some images of robots to show that although Roy was physical and felt human, he still wasn’t. We added a picture of a dove symbolizing him letting go of his life at the end of the movie. We put pictures of Earth specifically at the Bradbury hotel where he stayed. I also think it’s important to add Deckard in this collage because Roy knew of him and even mentioned that he thought he was supposed to be the best guy to capture replicants.

5th Element: Fashion Show

I enjoyed watching the futuristic movie 5th element. I particularly enjoyed the fashion that was shown in the movie. I thought it was minimalistic but very futuristic. Leeloo had few outfits but the ones she wore were incredible and vibrant. I also really liked Zorg’s outfit, it showed men’s work wear but also had a shiny green color that made it different than what we see today especially on men. This is what inspired me for my fashion outfit. I wanted to use menswear and reconstruct it into a women’s look and repurpose items like a tie. I went to the thrift store not having an exact idea of what I was doing and I came across 2 gorgeous purple stri[ped men’s button downs, one specifically that had a green tint to it which made it unique. I then found a large lavender skirt that I cut up to make floating sleeves. I found a children’s vest that I would have my model fit into and wear. I found a lavender fur scarf that would be cut and glued around the trim of the vest. I also bought a p...

Love, Death + Robots

     My favorite short from Love, Death + Robots was Three Robots: Exit Strategies. This short film was produced by Blow Studio based in Spain, sci-fi writer John Scalzi created both the original and the sequel of “Three Robots”. This short story was to send a message while adding a sense of humor. This story is a great depiction of what the future might hold as far as humans being the ultimate threat to themselves. I enjoyed this film the most because it shows how futuristic the technology could be with robots but also how terrible the future could be if humans do not start changing their ways. The robots have become smarter than humans and even mock them as their creators. The whole film these three robots walk around a post-apocalypse world and digest what they are seeing how at fault humans are.  While trying to figure out how to survive in this world the robots discover human remains of a “survivalist camp” where humans wanted civilization to collapse because ...

The Matrix: Conclusion

      After hearing the Matrix debate whether to take the red pill or blue pill, I stand with wanting to take the blue pill. I could not take the red pill knowing that Morpheus could be lying or untrustworthy. I understand wanting to now the truth of the world you live in and have free will but how can you truly have free will if you dont know the person giving it to you. Taking the blue pill is not ignorant but rather smart, this allows you to maintain the life you have and attempt to figure out the truth if you decide to. I don't think everyone would be ready to know the truth that Morpheus had to offer. Or even worse, some people may think they are ready and end up like Cypher, resenting everyone around him and trying to go back to the Matrix at any cost. I also know I might regret taking the red pill when I found out that everyone was chosen as "the one"  and we are all the same and might not make any actually difference. Knowing Morpheus before and after ta...
