The Kidd reading spoke about directions and how viewing them
in different ways causes us to see them differently. I like how it says that
changing different things about the image, such as the focus or size, can
change its focus. And also how we have natural tendencies in different parts of
life.
I didn’t like how it brought up a battle, the analogy seemed
like it was reaching and didn’t make as much sense as just explaining human
behavior, also starts off with a weird quote that doesn’t seem like it fits well.
The Hickey reading was interesting in that it spoke a lot
about the origins of basketball and explained the origins and reason behind a
slew of rules, such as the reason for a backboard, which I never knew, and how
it basketball never started with a coach or shot clock.
I didn’t like the beginning because it was describing
something I couldn’t image because I didn’t know what a “paint drip” was and
was too long for my liking – though I know the reason it was needed was to
provide an introduction and segway into the author’s true purpose.
The Weschler reading was the most interesting to me, because
it brings up a good point that I read about often when perusing news in my
other interests, mostly technology articles. Animation and technology has gotten
so good that it is almost real life looking, but the face limits our ability to
convey all the emotions that it can on a real human being. I also like how it
talks about milk and liquids, something else that is basically the last thing
that doesn’t behave properly in video games or most CGI movies.
There really isn’t much I didn’t like about this article, I
liked the topic, I liked how in-depth it went, the only thing I didn’t like it
how it mostly only talked about the Final Fantasy movie flop, something I can’t
relate to because I’ve never seen it so I can’t compare my thoughts to the
writer’s.
