Finally found some time to watch a film and watched predators with my bro. deffinatly the second best predator film, bout time to be honest after all the awful films they made after the first.
The design of them were pretty good but you can see the "bulkiness" that they had in the AVP films, which looked pretty bad in my opinion. only one of them looked like the original. Notably though there was a scene with an explosion and the visual effects were actually quite bad! itreminded me of a lecture where we had a small discussion about re-creating fire in cg and how its one of the most difficult to do since its so free flowing.
SEMIOTICS
i remember this lecture starting out to be quite confusing at first where we were told about a cybernatic feedback loop. something that was quite difficult for me to understand on a thursday afternoon. but it was a little more clear with the activity.
the iconic and arbitory theory was also quite confusing though the theory was probably worded in a more complicated manner than needed. an interesting point was raised during the seminar which conflicted with said theory. We were told that an image of a cat would be more iconic(realistic) than just the word CAT. however a more arbitory form could be more realistic than an image. If say someone didnt know how ZEUS the god looked like but read about him in books and stories, wouldnt the word ZEUS be more iconic than an image of a bearded man?
