I think there are a lot of things I would change in this school or career. I’m studying cinema and television and this career has a lot of lacks. There are subjects in cinema we don’t study and the teachers don’t show. For example, stop motion or animated movies, I think these are important because they have their own codes and ways. I mean, IT'S CINEMA TOO! And we don’t have even an elective subject of this. Besides, I have a lot of –boring- subjects with journalism’s students and to be honest: those courses are horrible and eternal. I mean, I’m in 4 th year and we still studying old theories about communication and mass media SINCE 1 ST YEAR. But I have to say something: I’m studying with the old curriculum map. So, maybe the new one it’s much better (I hope). The building on ICEI is too small, every year there are more and more students and the campus –in general-   is full. I mean, if you want to have lunch it’s almost impossible, you have to be patient or buy som...

Hi! I’m going to talk about my favorite artist. It was hard to choose one, so I’m going to present two artists: Kelsey Smith “Amidst Silence” and Jessica Antunez “Elle est Jess” . These girls do illustrations and show their work on Internet, for example: Instagram or Tumblr .  Talking about their life and career is kind of difficult, because as I was saying, they’re artist from Internet, but anyway. Jessica Antunez is a chilean artist, she used to be on illustration fairs, like Safari Festival (right now she's in France) that’s the place where I met her last summer. I remember I was buying some stickers made by herself.   She does any kind of kind of art, for example: illustrations, engraving patches, posters, paintings and even dolls, everything related to music, movies and artists. I like Elle est Jess , because in her work I can see the passion and dedication, besides I think everything she does is amazing.    Kelsey Smith or "Amidst Sile...

The new way of watching television In general, I'm not a big fan of the traditional way to watch tv., but I like to think in the technology's development and how these renovate our way of watching a movie or a tv show, especially Netflix. I like this issue, because is interesting how technology affects our society and our routine.  I think Netflix is very important to talk about this issue, because it will have the last season of Black Mirror with an special chapter: the audience will have the creative control of the  history. But, Black Mirror isn't the only serie with that characteristic, because Netflix is going to update this  streaming way with, at least, two more -realistics- series, with the objetive to create videogames. So, today we're talking about transmedia projects, because the narrative world is bigger. For example: Nosedive (a Black Mirror's chapter) has a boardgame, isn't a big thing -maybe- but it's something. I think ...

In the last blog, I was talking about the Master in Documentary Cinema at this school. However, I'd like to become a professional as an editor too, because I'm an Adobe Premiere's big fan, in spite it makes me everyday blinder haha. There are a lot of things I'd like to do, for example travel to Argentina and study something related with arts. The reason why I want to do this, is because I think documentary's a new world that you never finish discovering and learning; there are a lot of ways of doing documentaries, you can mix anything you want and gives a new meaning. For example, using archive's material like videos, photos or even mix it with fiction. Well, the Master is right here, in Santiago so talking about distance like if it was in another country it doesn’t matter. I guess, the only problem is the hour, because the subjects are late, since 7 pm to 10 pm and I live at the other side of Santiago, but it’s just three times a week. Not terrible a...

I studied English since 2012 to 2013. In that moment, I wanted being teacher or translator and then work in a museum, hotels or traveling around the world. But no, I decided to study the worst career in Chile, something related with arts woho!! . Okay, that's a joke, I love all of this. I'm studying cinema and television and now I'm in 4th year. It's ironic because I hate working in groups and I chose cinema. But anyway, I'd like to work editing films, because in the movie's edition is where you find the magic. The only problem, you have to be in an office or shut up in a room all day, with no lights and no fresh air but fan. Maybe, it sounds terrible but I really like it. However, I'd like to work in a cafeteria, because I'm a big fan of coffee and cakes and one of my dreams is to know how prepare all those things. I think we all want to travel around the world, maybe If I chose this way (editing films) I won't travel much, but I wan...

It was 2013, I was 17 years old and I went to a concert. I was alone at the line, I was going just with myself. I wasn’t scare because I don’t care being alone in a show: I’m going to listen music, nothing else. It isn’t a big deal to me. The concert was in March, I was going to see Sonata Arctica by the first time in my life, so I was very excited but alone. So, suddenly, the girl who was at the front of me on the line talked to me, because she realized I was lonely. She told me her name: I'm Karen and I live in Iquique . So, we were together at the concert. She’s my friend until today, we chat on Facebook or Whatsapp. But that isn’t the end of the story.  In September of that same year, I traveled to Iquique with my parents, because we have family there. So, I talked with Karen, with the objective of hang out together, maybe eating an ice cream or going to the beach. But that day, we were going to go to the Zofri, and my uncle told me: why don’t you invite her? And oka...
