1) A list (made as you listen) of all the things that happen / steps that the narrator, Starlee Kine, takes, and

how to feel better:

something so satisfying when listening to sad songs

they make you feel less alone

they don’t judge you – they tell you ur better off without him

she didn’t want to feel better, she wanted to wallow – turning off phone and turning on the sad sad music

songs articulate feelings she didn’t know she had

after listening for months – she had to write one her self

needed to take charge

be the songs – be the pains

be in the stereo – she wanted to be the lyrics going into her own head

most desperate songs – pitiful – pathetic

felt good to hear others’ pain

how to write it?

went to phil collins – how to write a good break up songs

email collins

met in person

told him the whole story

= shared pain

he also wrote his first song from a divorce

started writing – everything gelt wrong

scribbled lines down when doing everyday things

lack of musical ability – asked around for help

read lines she wrote with others

tried it with a melody

it worked

played it for phil collins

 

 

2) A short paragraph reflecting on what her process was and why she took the steps she did.

Starlee Kine wrote a break up song because she wanted to be her own lyrics that go into her head. She spent months wallowing in sad songs she wanted to take charge and put all her thoughts down that came together in a song. Once her boyfriend broke up with her all the sign came flying back of all the warning signs, cliches, and corny moments that made her feel silly. She thought she was heart broken before, but wasn’t compared to this one. Once she was broken up, she realized break up songs were everywhere and realized they were all relatable. She had no music ability or talent but she was determined to make something of this horrible break up.

ANATOMY OF A PROJECT, DECONSTRUCTION, VISION AND REVISION

Step one: 

Studio project:

Seminar integrated research:

Step two (process of work and research to previous work):

  • Hunger Games movie – research
  • Seminar social issue (public surveillance system) research
  • Online research – New York surveillance systems
  • Are people aware what it is and what it means?
  • Do people know the harm a P.S.S. could do?
  • Does the public know the impact of this notion?
  • Documented it through zines, notes, haikus, sketches

Step three (expansion to this topic and project):

  • Do my own primary research – ask people on street if they understood the concept of a public surveillance system
  • Ask them: do they think the world is more or less free?
  • Baldwin’s vision or the world, my family’s vision in the 60’s under the communist era, and my vision today = in what way do we have more freedom? And in what way to we have less freedom?
  • Worldwide research – not just New York or Hunger Games
  • Would look into age as a factor of decision to pursue the motion of a P.S.S.
  • Research on how advanced these systems are – and plans to implement them
  • Zine didn’t include that it affects everyone
  • Does not list all danger outcomes & that the cons outweigh the pros 10:1
  • Addition: vision of no freedom
  • Add: exponential growth in technology = blindside people

Step four (sketch adjustments):

• one page I would map out all the surveillance systems (that are known)

• second page would be informing of the idea that exponential technology growth may be dangerous and why

• third page would include quotes from interviews with people about PSS
