Week 3: Reflection
I've noticed picturesque landscapes are really empty, and even though there's meant to be a feeling of tranquility a lot of illustrations seem very eerie and look like they could be part of a synthetic abstract horror/psychological thriller movie. I think with proper music, a picturesque themed animation could be produced to be quite haunting and interesting.

Week 2: Reflection
This week was about real vs. unreal.
A interesting point was made about as created things become more accurate, it induces amazement however there is a point just prior to 100% accuracy where viewers are in disbelief or disgusted.
I wonder if this is because we aren't accustomed to exact replicas, our brains and our logic deem it impossible- particularly regarding living things of which no two are the exact same? Kind of like how our eyes can't adjust to speeds past a certain point which is why we see things as a blur? Do our brains make up for certain lack of accuracy but seizes up when something we know isn't real has what we can only see as 100% accuracy? Or is it just that it's surreal to see something that is a near perfect replica but we know it isn't real and people aren't accustomed to things like that especially with models of people...
