Postmodernist film poster
























I believe that this poster that I have created has postmodernist ideologies, such as the morals ( with Miles being kicked out of the house) , mix of low and high cultures ( football and the need for adventure) and also the mix of setting with the playing of football and Miles' house in different moods. The slogan also refers to chasing your dreams which shows the element of adventure and ambition which blended with the new generation of younger people I believe creates a true feeling of Postmodernistic impressions.

Summary of the week's lessons

This week I ahve learned a lot about about the different aspects of PAINPIPES, such as nihilism and pastiche. I also watched adulthood in order to gain more understanding of postmodern society and its good and bad elements as well as how it links to the real world society in which we live.
