I saw the original movie and thought it was quite funny and a bit ironic that a stiff caucasian women is teaching a university to appropriately dance funk. So I thought I'd have a very bad dancer outside, then have a person who thinks they know how to dance very well come outside and tell the dancer he's doing it all wrong. Then he becomes the teacher and teaches the bad dancer how to dance the right way. Ironically, both of them aren't all that great in general. But I feel it proves the point of what I was trying to get across.

Discussion #2
1) In the article Benjamin mentions "pure" art. He gives an example as to what is not "Pure" art and what is. Even with those two great examples I guess I am a bit confused as to what "pure" art is. Is it only one thing with one definition, or is it to ones opinion?
2)In the words of Séverin-Mars: “What art has been granted a dream more poetical and more real at the same time! Approached in this fashion the film might represent an incomparable means of expression. Only the most high-minded persons, in the most perfect and mysterious moments of their lives, should be allowed to enter its ambience.”
From what I understand from this quote is that film expresses much more than any other art form. This interpretation may be way off, but this is how I am understanding it. If that is in fact what he is trying to say, I'm not too sure I agree. Although with film you can see and hear what is going on and it explains the whole story with amazing scenes, paintings too can tell a story in a less obvious way but is still just as great. As is photography, there are some pictures that make you feel a very strong emotion, and you try to tell yourself the story. Art such as those and plenty of other forms have their stories, but you are able to in a way make it into an add-lib.

I really wanted to focus mainly on the time travel aspect of this project. I thought with the out of focus look along with a few objects circling around or disappearing to an abyss. I want that creepy vibe that i get from steam punk. Along with the main focus on the time turner.Monday, February 10, 2014
Steampunk Time travel
I chose to focus more on the time travel aspect of this project and the dark side I see in steampunk. Every object in the picture represents the grim, twisted, space continuum I picture when steampunk and time travel mix together. Everything goes wrong. I thought the step in between the present and going through the portal to the past should be unfocused and hazed, giving the appearance of time speeding by.
