LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)

  • Life, Talking with people, not talking with people, silence, to much noise, homework, Boy Scouts, touching, people being in my bubble, repetitive noises, when I don’t understand others emotions, leaving a store if i didn’t buy anything, not having a routeing, having a routeing and having someone mess with it, going to family gatherings, missing family gatherings, the fact that i feel like i’m super annoying.

OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)

the song don’t mess around with Jim. a romance that satirical different decades of romance films flicking through different decades art styles, clothing, and settings. a group of teens talk about what the think the wort way to die is and a hidden person picks them off one buy one killing them in that exact way. A group of friends try to make a indie horror film for a local film festive competition. A boy has a panic attack at school seeing what it feels like.

STUDIO (FILMING)

  • This is great. Dan Harmon is a legend and community is the best live action show ever made.

WHAT I LEARNED and PROBLEMS I SOLVED
