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 shows at the High School level.  Ever since then I have always wanted to do more in film production and analysis.  I have learned so much already and am particularly excited to start FIST 100 because it has been a while since I've messed with editing software and cameras.

Aside from film swimming is my biggest passion.  I have been swimming for years and came to Lawrence to also be apart of the varsity swim team.  My older brother was an extremely talented swimmer and I credit much of my interest of swimming to him, and even though I won't ever be at his level, I can still be the best I can be and hopefully leave my own legacy on the program. 

I hope that this can be one of our last terms under the pandemic as things seems to be looking positive.  But we must do what is necessary to stay safe.  In my last introduction I posted some photos of my dogs and I certainly plan on doing that again because who doesn't love a photo of someone else's pets.

    Hi Davis! Your dogs are so cute! I also love to swim but decided not to join the swim team. Second place nation wide is really impressive!

[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...
