The Only Alarm You Might Not Want To Snooze: Love Alarm

 I was immediately interested to this show due solely to the fact that it involves a modern smart phone.  I feel like I haven't seen a movie that is able to successfully a gimmick phone plot and have it be good.  One recent example I can think of is a horror movie called Countdown in 2019.  Basically the plot was if you downloaded this app that told you when you were gunna die it was now completely unavabible and 100% to happen at that exact time.  Horror movies and this romance show are completely different, but what I am saying is that I am excited to see if a show is able to execute an interesting plot without it being too cheesy or anything.  In the end, I am glad to say that I liked the show and how it was able to use its smart phone plot for it.

The opening of the show was very good a showing just how big Love Alarm is, to the point where it is just ruling over their heads through the medium of clouds.  It would seem that everyone's lives is just completely dominated by this app.  Despite the popularity, it almost seems like not everyone has found love at all.  I couldn't help but compare Love Alarm to a modern ay app like Tinder and its effectiveness. Despite a large amount of people who actually are trying to find love through tinder,  there is an audience of people who only use it to browse people and don't actually plan on using it for love.  I wonder how something like that would transfer into the world of Love Alarm.  What percentage of people are actually using it compared to people who are just maybe looking for an ego boost.  I think in the end, the show is trying to show us how infectious media platforms like Love Alarm can be.

FIST100 & FIST325: Introduction

 Hello everyone, my name is Davis Wukovits and I am a Sophomore currently living on campus.  I have been in Appleton for quite some time due to COVID-19 making Appleton the fourth place I lived.  I was born in California then moved to Georgia and my family currently lives in South Carolina.  I came to Lawrence because I have the unpopular opinion of enjoying cold weather and I love being here.  I also have an older brother, a twin brother, and two wonderful dogs.  At Lawrence I am a film major and a potential history minor.   In my life I have two major hobbies which are film and swimming.  I have always enjoyed movies and film production in general but it really came to be in High School when I was in a broadcast journalism production class.   I spent most my time in the editing lab in this class and with the combo of me and my best friends we were able to lead the class to place second in the entire nation for broadcast journalism...

[FIST 100] Uno Reverse Card: Daughters of the Dust

 It's been a bit of a long week so I'm using the title as a joke to get a laugh out of some people.  As a bonus the title relates to the post too. I really enjoyed analyzing Daughters of the Dust and discussing Dash's may ways a defying Hollywood traditions.  I mostly enjoyed this through her sue of cinematography.  In most Hollywood films the way the story movies along via dialogue between characters, but in Daughters of the Dust this story telling is don't through largely the cinematography.  In Hollywood most cinematography are beautiful shots of some event that's happening and those shots are frequent in a movie.  Many of the shots include the main characters.  In Daughters of the Dusk, cinematography of the amazing landscape is put over dialoged to establish the world and tell the story.  It almost feels as if the camera is the main character and the cast are the4 supporting roles.  (This is why its an Uno Reverse Card).  This makes...

Western Culture Impacts Eastern Culture and Eastern Culture Impacts Western Culture

 Last term I took FIST 402 and K-Pop was something that if I remember correctly we lightly touched on, so I am glad we got to spend more time on it this week.  I am honestly not sure what my opinions are of K-Pop.  I think that all songs that I have listened to are catchy, but it isn't really something I am interested in.  I know many people that are interested in the genre, and I can understand the appeal, but it just maybe isn't for me.  I am by no means saying it is terrible, I do think it is good, I'm just not the audience for it.   I feel like every single year K-pop along with other mediums of entertainment have only gotten more popular.  K-pop as evolved so much that I find it interesting to compare a boy band like One Direction to that of BTS.  I think the mass popularity of K-pop is said best in Yoon's article when he says, “Media studies scholars have recently defined the phenomenal rise of K-pop as ‘a way to counter the t...
