My Future Job

Topic: My Future Job

 




For my future job, I would truly love to be a movie poster designer, which sadly is an indoor activity most of the time. But, since movies, cartoons and TV shows are some of the things that I enjoy the most, I imagine that being a poster designer would be absolute fun for me anyway... 
In general, jobs in movie poster design focus on helping to advertise and promote a film in on a large scale. Lots of films have different posters, each of which uses graphic design techniques to highlight one or more aspects of the movie, its cast, and, of course, its story. In this role, you may use graphic design software to create these posters, test movie posters with sample audiences, coordinate with other advertisers, and otherwise work to communicate information about the film as clearly as possible. This job requires a significant understanding of movie poster psychology, such as framing and placing elements to suggest plot details or overall themes. 


I would love to have the chance to travel a lot in that kind of job. But sadly, I think people who work in this area of design don't really have that chance. This is because the process of designing a movie poster begins several months in advance of a movie's release, and because, therefore, the designer has to constantly go to and from the studios. 
And about the salary, I recently heard that the majority of salaries within the Movie Poster Design jobs category currently range between $32,822 to $63,528 with top earners, making $102,174 annually in Los Angeles, which I think it is an exhuberant amount of money. 

Since I want to be part of the movie poster design community, I'm thinking that I can take a few subjects and majors about photography edition, theory of color and even psychology as a basis. 
This since as I mentioned before, you need to know how to edit a photograph, know the appropriate color harmony according to the film, and also to have an understanding of movie poster psychology, which will help you to place the elements to suggest plot details and other stuff.

Time Travel to the Future

Blog post 6 Topic: Time Travel to the Future   It is funny how every time someone brings up the subject of time travel, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Back to the Future movie saga. So I thought it would be fun if I wrote this blog from the perspective of the plot from one of those movies: Back to the Future II, to be more specific. On October 26 of 1985, Dr. Emmett Brown arrives in the DeLorean time machine and persuades Marty McFly to travel to the future with him once again. They arrive on October 21 of 2015, thirty years in the future... There, the characters witness a lot of technological advances of all kind, from self-lacing sneakers and flying cars, to self-driving jackets (and I'll stop right here because I don't want to give any kind of spoilers, of course). In short, everything looks extremely interesting and modern in comparison to what existed in 1985. Having said that, I think I would like to travel to the year 2051, thirty years in the future of our...

English Language Challenges

  Topic: English Language Challenges   The first thing that I thought when I started this course was "it's so weird to do this by just sutting in front of a computer", I never truly got used to this... But even though these were online classes, they helped me review grammar content that I had practically forgotten even though I constantly write in English on a daily basis. But honestly... I don't like to write blogs (I used to write them in my last school for Language class, but I never like dthem), because they always took me a good amount of time to write them, plus I don't feel like I learn much from them. Although seeing the positive side, it helps me to practice my writing. I have always believed that I really need to practice my pronunciation when speaking in English. And I know I can perfectly write in English, but when I need to speak it in public I always tend to get nervous and to commit mistakes in terms of grammar and vocabulary. A way that I have tho...

The best holidays ever

Blog post 2: Topic: The best holidays ever. The best holidays I've ever had happened in February of 2020, just before the arrival of  COVID-19 pandemic in Chile. This idea came about thanks to my dad, he thought it would be a good idea to do something different and go on a little family vacation somewhere we had never been before. In this case, the city of Puerto Montt, at the south of Chile. Since at that time the plane tickets were not exactly cheap (and that it was just me and my parents), we decided to travel by car and make several stops to visit other cities or towns along the way, such as: Talca, Concepción, Talcahuano or Temuco.  After a full day of travel, we arrived in Puerto Montt and looked for a hostel to be able to stay a week and visit the surrounding cities. During the next days, we visited lots of the most popular places in Puerto Varas and Chiloé, such as historical buildings, churches, museums and restaurants. In addition, we traveled by boat and by ferry t...
