Contextual and Theoretical Studies Level 5 Week 4:Embodied Mind and Theories

Today we had been discussing the embodied mind and how it affects the perception of the world around us. This perception had come across from the stand point that the mind begins to understand the world  through the limbs of our body by which i mean that when we use certain objects persistantly we become to get use to the functions of that object whether it be a console controller or a mobile phone and because we use the certain object constantly and its physically connected to an area of our body we see the object as a extra length or limb.

With the body realizing the certain objects as another limb that are joint to the body it seems as though the mind also see's the body as expanded from the use of certain objects that are in some form joint to the body because it becomes an easy transition to join the limbs of the body to objects that have been aacustomed to you and which makes the unwanted elements that aren't used become a waste and forgotten.

We also looked at the specific types of theories that could help or improve areas in our newly acquired briefs and with two different briefs running parallel we had to think of thdirection we were heading towards certain theories and found that with the music video theories smoe of the group weren't much of the film makers but found that the discord theory was fitting enough as it looks at how the music extract certain emotions of the viewer through melodies or moods of the sound which can help in the suspense of a thriller or build up an ending of scene. With the character design brief there were many theories that are available and found some stuck out more than others such as the seven basic storylines which  is basically that all stories throughout history have involved some sort of connection to the seven stories that have been used constantly throughout history even though they seem different the sic structure of the story is simple and similar.
