English for me

Sadly studying English at the university has been more of a problem, over the years I always had difficulty taking English and it happened that being in my last year of university I still had to complete a semester of English because I had to pay another year of university only for one subject.

So the English of the university I hate a little, over the years I have had several teachers of the subject and all had similar methods of teaching, with some games.

I think blogs serve to practice the writing of texts and also to be able to express more broadly the thoughts around an idea, however it also makes me tedious, but it is first because I am not used to writing.

This year I have struggled to take the pace of English classes, I think it did not die long enough, this year for me has been very moving in terms of professional work but I'm already ordering in the subject of English. I think one of the things that makes it harder for me in English is to speak and be able to express my ideas well. And I know that improves only with practice.

This year I have had to use more English due to my short film, to be able to communicate with people from other countries of the world, also to be able to watched Asian movies are subtitles in English. Really I have realized the importance of knowing other languages ​​to film and be able to get your message across the world, so one of my goals for next year is to perfect myself and study much more English.

My career

I believe that the biggest problem that the cinema and tv race has is that there is no specialization of any kind, so we only know basic elements of each area of work within the cinema and television.

Commonly the student of my career hate it because the curriculum is very close to journalism and communication theories. I’m not part of those students because I really like  to study theory but I do believe that it is repetitive, since the different classes deal with almost the same information .

Another important element that would change my career is the amount  of time that they dedicate to theoretical classes at the expense of the practices, especially with the filming of the short films.    

Juan Gomez Millas Campus Careers are the most precarious and up to the two years ago, my career didn't have the right equipment to teach.  

Fortunately, they bought new equipment much more technological and I hope that the new generation come out better of technological knowledge of the race, because i believe that my generation doesn't have the necessary knowledge in the world of work.   

I had to find and learn on my own the necessary things at the time I had to do my final short film.

In spite of all this, If i have to say something positive about my career, it would be to the amazing women teachers who have taught me; because despite all the inconvenients mentioned above the were able to teach a lot and very creatively.   

Sofia Coppola

I am a believer that cinema is an art, a complex art with many elements.

The cinema - unfortunately - is a world of men in which there are few women who have the possibility to stand out.

To the filmmaker that I want to highlight is Sofia Coppola, yes, Sofia Coppola.

Ok, as an actress is not very good but as a filmmaker I can say that she must be one of the best writers in the world.

As I read in a magazine, Sofia Coppola is one of the few figures capable of transmitting the sensation of being alone in the world even if you are in Tokyo - a city of nine million inhabitants.

I connect with the Sofia cinema for its themes close to adolescence but above all for being films with feminine perspectives.

Sofia's films have different artistic elements that make me like them, the main one is the theme, however, it has other important ones that are related to the visual, such as textures and pastel colors.

The silence in his films, which many may find boring, for me are spaces for reflection, in spite of this, the films fulfill pop cultural elements and do not lose their cinematographic quality.

Sofia Coppola is a woman that I admire deeply, because despite not having had a good acting career, she was able to leave the shadow of her family, her father and be able to shine for herself.

If I do a ranking of my favorite movies of her, I rank "Lost in translation" first.

It's one of those movies that I need to watch once a year - or more - to feel happy and sad.

This movie made her an Oscar winner for best original screenplay.

If we talk about awards, she has been the only woman to win the golden lion at the Venice Film Festival, with the film "Somewhere".

Last year I won the Palme d'Or for best director at the Cannes Film Festival.

In summary, I think that synthesizes in his film different elements that make me like his movies and that has also been a good formula to reap great achievements.

The phenomenon of the Kpop in Chile.

The phenomenon of the Kpop in Chile.

I´ve chosen this topic because it has been much attention and importance in the last months in national media, tv programs and national newspapers.

I´ve been part of this world for 6 years approximately but in this year has been much attention for the ordinary people.

The KPOP was born in South Korean in the 90’s and now the fans from the rest of the world have grown a lot, especially in Latin America and Chile.

The KPOP fandom is different from other fans because it is formed by teenegers and young people and the fans realy realy realy love the Idols.

This topic is important because the kpop has changed to a new generation like a “POKEMONES” in the 2000’s.  The teenegers changed they interact with their bodys and their stereotypes of beauty and their relationship with the consumer and social networks is huge.

The new generation and its relationship with consumption of entertainment it’s different for previous years, because the kpop idols give you everything, give music and songs, give dance choreography, give photos, give differents ways to communicate with the fans through social networks ( twitter, facebook, instagram, Vlive, kakao, official website, etc… )      

The last concerts of kpop bands in Chile has been common that the tickets sold out in hours.

The phenomenon of Kpop has grown so much that even one band will be present this year at the Teletón.

I hope that the Korean wave is not just a momentary style and lasts for several more years.

Master in Korea

Since last year I am thinking that I do with my life and I decided to study cinema in South Korea and specialize in production. I decided that because in recent year I have been close to korean culture, movies and Kdramas (korean dramas).

Analyzing the Korean audiovisual works is that I was able to realize the high quality of these and the large amount money with witch it works.

I decided learn to that because in Chile film industry is so small and very poor, personal contacts are more important than the talent or ability.

I want to go to Korea by the year 2020 to study a master, master in cinema ( direction and production ) at the Korean National University of Arts or study a master in production in Busan Asian Film School, for the two master need an intermediate level of hangul ( Korean language) with the TOPIK   and a high level of english ( not certified but if a personal interview ). I´m working hard for that, hangul is the most difficult language that I have studied and sometimes I want to give up, but I´m so motivated to fulfill my dream that me is consolation.

Korean society is complicated and very different from Chile, that makes me wanting more leave Chile and learn different things, perhaps hate Korea but I will always have friends and family in Chile where I can return.

The best job

The job that I would like to have in a few more years is that of producing in my own production company and have direction and production role and be able to make my own audiovisual works.

Create music videos, short films, experimental videos and video art.

I want to have an independent job and be my own boss. Producer work is a very dynamic job because you have since needs to work in the office in front of a computer and making documents, but also has field work during filming.

Being a producer allows you to know different places in the world, since films can reach all sides of the world, participating in festivals as well as audiovisual markets, I hope that in the future my creations will allow me to know more about the world and different people .

In recent years I have dedicated myself to being a producer, general producer and executive producer however I intend to leave Chile to study.

I want to go to study in South Korea, because I think they have a very developed audiovisual industry compared to Chile, both in cinema and television and I think I can learn a lot from there. That's why I'm currently studying Hangul (Korean language).

My biggest wishes in life is to have independence in my job and be able to represent the subjects that I think are important. In order to achieve this, I need to learn and work much more.

Versailles Palace

Versailles Palace

This year, I had the opportunity to travel to France for free and visited many places in Paris. One day I dedicated to know the palace of Versailles.

That day I woke up early in the morning, I got dressed and set out,  I was taken the train ( RER) and after one hour I arrived at the town of Versailles.

The first thing you see when leaving the train station is a palace a golden castle, I felt so much anger in my heart because  my mind said :” Fucking europeans, all its riches were based on exploitation and theft.”

I had to alienate myself to enjoy the ride.

The line to enter was very long and the ticket was very expensive (23 euro) anyway I was there.

The palace was very big and expensive, I think i had never been in such a huge luxurious place, It's hard to think of something similar for latinoamerica.

I'm not good at walking but I gave the best.

I will always remember this trip because I do not have a great time, my hatred of the monarchies and  the unnecessary luxuries ity just made me feel stomach pain.

Versailles it's very very very beautiful but if you think deeply that beauty is not free.
