The concept for my DA came about from my passion in film and how i enjoy expressing opinions on said topic. The art of film is a widely known aspect of life and it can connect with people from all across the globe, each person having a different opinion on something, making the experience more unique and the discussion more engaging. I already have a website from another subject that i intend to use and put up my own reviews of movie to see people’s opinions on them. They can comment back on what they think about it and share their own thoughts on it. Whether positive or negative, i feel it will be better shared in a specific environment rather than a larger one, as the reactions will not get as aggressive if they do. Having a place to express an opinion is the point of my DA, sharing thoughts on a medium that everyone can enjoy in a different way.  I also plan to create an Instagram account to spread the news of what i will be doing beforehand as a heads-up so people know what i’m doing as well as a way to get early reactions from people.

Maybe waiting a bit to long to think about the actual assessment, the concept of me creating a movie reviewing website was always something i wanted to do even before i started uni. Since high school, i enjoyed discussing the ins and outs of film.  Seeing it as a key opportunity for my DA, i went for it. I decided to call it ”Movie Culture Bash’ not as means to display aggression, more as a way of summing up that it doesn’t matter what country or culture you come from, every person can connect with a film in some way, so it’s not held back by any restrictions. Evene when it comes to reviews that have a strong opinion one way throughout, i know that every film has something of worth in it regardless of whether you like it or not, so every review will have an aspect of the other side as well. Every good film has something bad in it, every good film has something good about it. This way it won’t alienate people who disagree and more do what it should do and let them see from someone else’s perspective.

The FIST principle fits my project as well.  While i will hopefully be producing content on a weekly basis, the responses on social media will be fast and actually producing my content and sharing it will be quick on easy on my website. The website is of my own creation so it won’t cost any money and quick posts on Instagram won’t  cost anything.  Writing down opinions on film is simple for me and opinions shouldn’t be so complicated for others to talk about online either. The prospect of my DA can help on a larger form by letting people discuss their thoughts on movie in a small area is hopefully safer than the actual internet, where anyone can be anywhere and hate needlessly. This will be more secluded for people who want to check it, whether for good or bad reasons as well, but still hopefully not as dangerous as the alternative.

Now that this DA has finally  started, it has given me a reason to stop waiting to start and have finally started uploading reviews to the internet. I hope this will help start a much bigger thing in the future, but for now, lets see how it all turns out.
