TWO LECTURES (Causew i forgot to post last weeks XD)

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm last week we got a new lecturer called.......erm......ah......uhm...Bill? From AUSTRALIA! >D

Erm....well, to be very honest. I didnt have a clue what i was being talked to about last lecture, none of it really made any sense to me. I think it was about New Media....but i just remember the teacher going of on random tangents and also

"No daddy dont do it!"

and

THE CIRCLE OF FEAR!!!

(Yes........yes this is what we learn on thursdays)

and apparently our lectures tend to run.....and dive head first into the gutter. I'm mean that old video we got shown of the dad trying to murder his daughter. Well the things thing that flashed on screen was Dont do it daddy! And everyones minds went: Ohhhhhhh....... X_X;;;;;;

So yes......i really didnt understand what we were being talked to about last lecture as this is all i remember. That and.......Bill thinking he had gone over the lecture....and then realising it was the video time =w=;;;


TODAYS LECTURE!!!!!

(also dived head first into gutter)

One of the screen shots was titled:
Star Wars: A New Hope, 1975
- Discuss technology Star Wars in relation to Luke's orgasm

Bare in mind we were very sugar high and living off lack of sleep for months =w=;;;;;;; this was immeasurably shocking and hilarious. Also ..........Bill went on to say something about penetration and a girl getting injected......

So we all sort of............died laughing in our seats.

But YES!

Todays lecture was on Originally and Repetition

And we looked at the Sci-Fi genre.

i learnt there was a third thing to Arbitary and Iconic called Index, which taken from the quote on board (also Bill fails and power point presentations XD; it's quite epic <3 ) "You cant have smoke without fire" Smoke being the Index.

It's not a direct icon for fire, but it's commonly associated with it. Therefore Index XD

Also that "Intertextuality works within and across genre". So it's everywhere. With inclusion to ideas and concept being used throughout story lines and films.

Hence a lot of repetition and things we're familiar with..

At least......that's what i got from it.

On another note.

ESSAY is bloody due in next week and i'm confused as fuck! And I bloody d;aghsd;ghdlfzshglafgh


WELL i know i'm choosing a scene from the animated version of Alice in Wonderland. I know i'm doing binary opposition and arbitary/iconic. and i know exactly what tangent i'm going down.


BUT i've no idea where to get reference at all.

I know i can take quotes from the actual Alice in Wonderland/Underground book and reference them.

But other than that i dont know what to do.

I can look into the live action films and compare the representation of the Cheshire cat throught the films.......but OHMYGAWD

this seriously confuses me ><;;;

I dont know what reference to get or where i should be looking. Because i know if i was researching an artist for college =w= i'd look into their work, thei influnces, who, what, where, when, why, how etc............
But for this essay it doesnt seem as simple as that.

All it seems to be is.........that the only place i can look for reference to Harvadise in all its bastardous glory, is the actual book itself.

So i'm completely lost.

sigh.........

And i'd email Phillipa......but i feel it will end badly and leave me more confused.
