Introduction


👋     Hello, blog! My name is Luisa. I'm a sophomore and I am planning on majoring in film studies. I'm currently in Chicago, Illinois.

❓    Why am I taking this course? Even though I'm not too fond of history because of how it requires me to remember names and dates, I chose to take this course because, in order to fully appreciate the art of film, I would need to know how it grew to become what we know it to be today. I look forward to watching many different films that will work alongside the readings to help us learn about the important milestones of film. I also hope to make connections with people who share my love for films this term!

We watched Psy's "Gangnam Style", BTS's "Boy with Luv", and Blackpink's "Ice Cream". In Korea, there are three main entertainment companies: YG Entertainment, SM Entertainment, and JYP Entertainment. Psy used to be under YG, but he later moved on to create his own label called P Nation. Blackpink is still under YG and BTS is under a different company called BigHit Entertainment. BigHit is a growing company that I predict will officially take over a spot as a 'top-three' very soon due to the popularity of BTS as well as their successful marketing strategies which are used to promote their sensational groups. Psy became a popular figure after the release of "Gangnam Style" which broke a very important YouTube record: the first person to reach 1 billion views. I recall hearing this song being played at alm...
