Decades project Reflection
I learned that politics of the 1970's in Southern California had little influence to the social cultural part of it. The whole movement of hippies started in the late sixties but really didn't come into full effect until our decade, the seventies.The whole thought of world piece and rebel against the government was fully implemented throughout the seventies. Surfing and skating was born in socal and that brought along the hippie movement with it. I kind of always knew that the seventies was the hippie era but I never really got into depth about it.
A lot of the surfers in the southern part of LA like Malibu are really influenced by that time and its like their stuck in a time capsule. Everything from their surfing style to their fashion is one hundred percent influenced by that time period. Along with style and living there is something about that area that attracts both sides of the economy. Till this day the more poor people live in small huts and surf everyday and the rich have these monstrous houses in the hills overlooking the ocean. Its been like this for decades now.
I like the skate video because I put most of my time and effort into it and we as a group had a lot of fun shooting it. It didn't feel like work to us and when work doesn't feel like work I think that's the best. Overall it was just a funny piece imitating that style and genre of skating is fun. I thought that artifact was the best out of all four because it stood out from others.
Well before the project I kind of had an idea of what all three topics were like. In this project I feel like we learned and focused most about the social cultural part of that time. It fascinated all three of us and kind of dragged us in and made us want to research it more. The topic of that time also kind of influences us with the fashion side of things, like the way we dress or the style of our skating and surfing.
I think the one thing that I would change is just prep for the presentation because we were all on a different page as to what we were going to do and our presentation was super last minute and we almost thought of winging it at a time. Fortunately we got it together and I thought we presented well. But if I had to change one thing it'd definitely would be the preparation process.
The location starts in southern California in a lab during the year 2070. Pretty much we have found a clean energy solution but our sun is dying and no one believes it. So the dilemma is there and no one smart enough to realize this doesn't have a solution for the dying sun. The book relates to the 1970's is because it was written in the 1970's. Not much other than that.
