[ThinkingofRecovery]

I usually don't mind it, just takes me a while to get around to doing it. You still struggling to get your uni work done?

[Bleeding Angel]

i cant concentrate to do much, trying to read random books which seem to have nothing to do with what im doing - saying that i dont even know what im doing.

[Bellatrix]

[Bleeding Angel]

Good plan about the film :)

Not sure if you are asking Mea or me but I am doing a BTEC in Health and Social Care at college and a diploma in psychology via distance learning although admittedly the latter is on the backburner at the moment.

[Bellatrix]

^And i'm doing a degree in psych

[ThinkingofRecovery]

The way things are with my head I am finding this BTEC more challenging than I did my degree and postgrad *confused*

ha ha no one can help me then :P

Im trying to do some crap about how film music is used to manipulate our emotions and if it by doing this does it heighten our experience of the films.

[ThinkingofRecovery]

Definitely need to watch some films as research then :)

Horror films tend to rely a lot on sound, they use it to build suspense and use loud, sudden noises to scare the audience. My mum always used to say that if you watch a horror film on mute then they aren't really that scary at all. Insidious is a prime example, in the cinema it was jumpy and their use of 'tiptoe through the tulips' was chilling but put it on DVD and most of the essence is lost.

/nerdy ramble :P

I am an actor and studied performance (and did modules on tech and sound) so if you have any Qs I can try and help <3

[Bleeding Angel]

its just annoying because i dont feel ive done much/know what im doing but the lec said that i had a good grasp of it and what i was doing, but to also pick a genre to focus on.

But then i need to think of my practical, i was gona film some stuff myself but that may end up looking crap.

edit - everyone posted before me ha ha

I've never studied film or anything. Did media studies for AS level but that's about it - was just speaking from observation haha

[ThinkingofRecovery]

I trust your lecturer that you have a good grasp of it as they wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true hun

Ha ha i know its one of those subject areas that does have an easy answer, of course music makes the experience better, but then you have to answer why does it and how can we improve it. Music and media is way overused though, im watching a cooking show and they use dramatic music ha ha

If im honest im more comfortable doing essays and things like that, having to come up with an idea, a question then answer it isnt my idea of fun.

I also need to do a presentation for tue/wed (obviously i cant present it ha ha, but still need to do it)

[ThinkingofRecovery]

What are you upto this afternoon instead of work then Meaculpa?

[Bellatrix]

Anything but! I'm trying to research cognitive functions and how mood influences perception/memory but I'm being distracted by various wikipedia links ><

[ThinkingofRecovery]

Enjoy :)

I'm going offline for a bit now to watch The Lincoln Lawyer. Hope it's good

oh the internet is a great distraction, one min your reading something relating to work and the next min you realise youve spent two hours reading about nonsense
