My name is Ariel Valenzuela; I’m 23 years old, I was born on October 17th 1994 in the city of Santiago of Chile. I studied in the Augusto D’Halmar and La Fontaine Schools, and now I’m studying Cinematography and TV career, in the Universidad de Chile. I’m the youngest of three brothers. My parents are divorced since that I was a little boy. Then I have been living with my mother and a sister from there. I like to take photography’s in my free time and sometimes I work in filming. I usually write independents projects: web series, short films, and I apply for public tenders –for example CORFO, CNCA, CNTV– for different projects, as feature films, series, and others for me to be able to develop them.

Blog 5: My future job

I have planned to start an independence audiovisual production company specializing in internet contents. I would like to produced my own projects, something in the short-term and others in the long-term. I would like to work outdoors; I don’t like the office work although it’s sometimes necessary. I prefer to record that executive work, montage or postproduction. Since my last filmmaking where we recorded in Bio- Bio that I’m interested to make more projects at regions. I like to travel and knowing different places in Chile and many stories. This country has many climates, the millenary forests, the amazing lakes, the long rives, the Pampa and the beautiful sky of the Atacama Desert.

I wouldn’t like to have family because it has many responsibilities, then I would not mind my sal...

Jimmy's Hall

The movie isn’t amazing, but it has a very interesting story to tell. It’s a drama about the politics of our actions. The film showing us that we can challenge the authorities with music and dance, culture and art. I like this because it’s a reason why I study cinema, I believe in the powerful of the art to problematize about the system and the social conflicts. My favorite character is Jimmy. The actor has a very charismatic face perfect for represent a leader. The character is confrontational, but he is also calm and direct when he should be. I like the beautiful cinematography so much. The combination of cold and warm lights impregnates the film with a very distinctive color and atmosphere. I don’t like the montage of the film in some parts of the movie because I can’t see the littles actions. The attention of the image is confusing. My favorite scene is when the Father Sheridan speak evil about Jimmy and the hall while we see people dancing and having...

I think that I’ve talked about this many times in other blogs, but I think it's very important that we know new formats and the possibilities of production and distribution of content that the internet allows. I think the concept of cinema in general is quite obsolete. The university teaches how to make "movies" but people don't go to movie theaters (except if it is the last movie of the avengers), and independent films are only seen at foreign festivals for an elite and small audience. I think the university follows the same film policy of the state and the competitive funds to make a cinema to leave a good impression to the world and not to prepare creative filmmakers who propose something really original. They should diversify the audiovisual formats they teach us, I think the concept of cinema is very romanticized (go to the cinema, big screen, with audience, etc.). People actually consume more audiovisual content on the internet than in cinema and...
