There are very few lessons that truly inspire me these days. I don’t mean normally inspire, as I ‘what a good lecture’, I mean, ‘holy pigcrap. Now I wanna write my thesis’. Writers Contexts this year is such a lesson. The tutor who takes us seems almost infinitely learned in writing and art history. He’s drawing parallels between art and painting which I hadn’t known about, but now seems obvious. I now intend to employ the things I learn of art within the context of filmic semiotics. Can we extrapolate the principals of the static image to the moving one. It is this question which now intrigues me.
