Making Of | Logo

Our group decided on picking one of Greta’s logo ideas among the other ideas of ours. I took it to the Illustrator and refined the line art. From that, I made a miniature version of it which we use in our blog as a blog link. After many of colour variations that Greta tried, we choose the pastel orange bird, with green, blue and purple  colours for the planets. I added the colors in Illustrator and made the header image for the blog. Also  the planet outlines of the logo were used for the blog’s background.

Perspectives | Why Is "Kill Bill" Postmodern

"Kill Bill" Poster

Kill Bill: Volume 1  is a 2003 American martial arts film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. Is a well known film in postmodern society. However, why is this film postmodern?

1. Split Into Fragments - "Kill Bill" consists of many different shots and scenes from many other films.

2. Realism disappears - At first the movie takes place in a western country where the main character is involved in realistic fighting scenes. The longer the film continues the further away the in-film characters striveing away from reality. When they fight, they fly across the screen, and jump up without any gravity affection.

3. Changes film styles - Another technique used in "Kill Bill" is Anime scenes. This is a "High Art" Style and makes the audience aware that the world they are watching is artificial.

4. Non-Linear Nerrative - Nonlinear narratives often use flashbacks or flash forwards in which past or future events are revealed through memory or other methods during exposition of a current event. However, there are other ways to use nonlinear narrative in which the narrative flow doubles back on itself while appearing to move forward. 

5. Contrapuntal Music -  The soundtrack in "Kill Bill"  uses Spaghetti Western music and this is a part of the film that references the different films that Tarantino uses for inspiration. Some of the scenes have not maching music, as some of the sound efects are cartoonish, spanish or western type, it keeps transmuting though out the film.
