Introduction

 Hi!! I'm Julia Danielson :) I'm a sophomore and currently majoring in Psychology and minoring in writing. I'm hoping to turn the minor into a double english major though. I'm super excited for this class! I've always been really into film and writing, so this class seems like a combination of all my favorite things. I'm from Falmouth, Maine which is just outside of Portland. In my free time I enjoy nature walks, writing, listening to new music (always looking for music recs!!), going thrifting and playing with fashion, reading fiction novels, watching netflix, and laughing with friends. The photo is of my two dogs, Obi and Huck. Can't wait to get to know everyone more in class!!

    If you like studying film, you should take a class with Matthias or Delia Konzett (if you haven't already)! I took a Horror Films course with Matthias Konzett in the fall and I really enjoyed it. They change up their classes every semester so there's always something new to explore.

    So nice to meet you, Julia! Obi and Huck are adorable! Psychology is a great major, I love learning about how our minds are wired! And what a great part of Maine you're from! haha Maybe I will bump into you at Rines forest or the Hannaford (again?)!

VR and Empathy Machine's

 What I really appreciated about Chris Milks Ted Talk was how he expanded upon the idea of film. he describes it as "the same now as it was then." But what Chris wanted to do was to use technology was to make stories that couldn't be made with current techniques. Each time he presents a new piece, people seem to have stronger and stronger emotional responses to it. I think this speaks to how powerful immersion is. The more immersive the piece is, the more invested the user becomes. I think this is what his goal was with the last project when he did clouds over Sidra. It was incredibly moving to see her entire environment. It was as real as it could be. He could have made a documentary on Sidra, but often times those can become movie-like. This project was the opposite of that. "You are sitting there with her... and because of that you feel her humanity in a deeper way." I think this piece captured that idea beautifully. It captures her world in such a way that e
