A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester

The course that has caugth most my attention this semester was an elective course called Narración, representación y mito, taken in the last year of study. At the beginning, I didn't have much expectations, but the items taugth in class were quite interesting and useful for the Cine y tv career. The course is about how to make stories from the fundamental structure of the myths, because in them is where the essence of humanity lies. The recurrent plots that repeat in stories, the recurent themes in tales of any kind are there in myths. Also being a very small amount of students attending, makes it more intimate in comparison to other courses where one tend to go unnoticed. Is worth mentioning that the lectures are pretty ligth, being pleasurable to read. At first I didn’t have good feeling about the course, since I took it for the credits. In general, I find it very amusing and useful. Other courses treat recurrent issues, this course is unique in it’s content, making it more interesting than others. Beside all that, the stories that the teacher tells us to introduce us the subjects are quite fantastic and get your entire attention.

An Expert on your Field


I admire David Vera-Meiggs, because he is unique teacher. His method of to teach is different, because he doesn’t teach as the school, since he tells anecdotes eccentric that he lived. These anecdotes are enough crazy. I don’t know if these anecdotes are truth. For example, He was couple of the translator of Akira Kurosawa, His father knew to Walt Disney in Chile, etc. Always his anecdotes implicate famous people in the history of Chile, the cinema, art, universal history etc.  His stories are very funny. Sincerely I don’t care if these anecdotes are true, because his message is more interesting.
Vera-Meiggs is a teacher of the ICEI. He teaches classic cinema in first grade of the degree cinema and TV.  As well as he has other subjects as Audiovisual narrative, and Film critic.

He is columnist of opera and cinema in the monthly magazine "La Panera". Besides he is scriptwriter and a consultant of cinematographic script. He is recognized for book about cinema as "The audiovisual cavern ", "The truth imaginary", etc. His books are easy reading.

A Band / Singer I like

My band favorite is Kalafina, because his composer is Yuki Kajiura. I love this composer, because she composes music of my favorite anime as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate Zero, Noir, etc. His music is very magic. Besides his melody add feeling in the anime.
Kalafina is a japonese band that is composed for Wakana, Keiko and Hikaru. They are vocalists. I don't  know a lot information about this band, because I only listen to music. I don't interest for the  life story of the band. According to the Wikipedia this band is born 2007 and  they made debut in January 2008. The typo of music they play are Jpop and New Age.
My favorite song is  "Heavenly Blue" belongs to opening of Aldnoah zero. I don't  know because I like of the song, but I am happy when I listen of the song in youtube especially when I watch the opening, because Youtube erase every the opening of Aldnoah Zero for the Copyright.
