This is a medium for my case studies of visual culture. Each case study is analyzed on a scale of ten points:Raw/Clean spectrum, 2. Like or dislike, 3. Immediately aesthetically pleasing, 4. Pop or counterculture, 5. Elaboration, 6. Personal perspective, 7. Category of Art, 8. Assumed authorial intent, 9. Name of artist, 10. Context. Here I apply my knowledge of visual culture to forms of art. Covc is mostly subjective. Through analysis I express my opinions on art. Some parts are objective. For example, some artists are pop culture artists and therefore I would classify their art as pop culture. When reading these case studies it is important to understand my perspective. I am mostly interested in and stimulated by contemporary and post modern art. Photography is my favorite form of art and sculpture is my least favorite. I prefer art that is more raw than clean and am mainly interested in fashion photography and amateur works that capture everyday life without being too sloppy. I mainly draw inspiration from "I Love Fake" Magazine (http://www.ilovefakemagazine.com/), kanYe West: blog (http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/), and Sabino (http://sabino.tumblr.com/).

At this point, the only part of my case studies that I am completing is Practices of Looking and my scale of analysis. It’s really the only part that I can complete.

I did not see Jackie Brown so much as a reemergence of Blaxploitation, but as an action filming incorporating tiny aspects of that genre.

Notes on Jackie Brown

  • Similar opening title to Jackie Brown, similar music and opening titles, it differs in lack of dancing and psychedelic colors.
  • Same leading actress, Pam Grier.
  • Usage “the n word”
  • A “Kangol” hat is worn, like in Foxy Brown
  • Famous Tarantino “trunk” scene.
  • Explicit language.
  • Violence
  • Display of female independence, much like in Foxy Brown.
  • Like Foxy Brown, Jackie Brown uses the same song for the opening and ending.
