Reflection on Fashion and Film

I have really enjoyed this winter school subject, and am extremely happy to have done it. I've learnt things I have never even thought about before, and I feel my knowledge of the relationship between fashion and film has been expanded upon greatly. Every lecture Pamela Church Gibson gave was so enlightening and a refreshing look at the whole fashion scene. Pamela has such a wide knowledge of fashion and film and I only wish I could have taken in all of her knowledge. For such a short time, Pamela was able to get through a lot of content and she did it in a way that was easily comprehensible, and made each lecture attractive in their own right. Watching the films each week in the first week of this winter school subject meant I was beginning to actually put all the content of Pamela's lectures, the scholarly reading's and Deborah's tutorial discussions into action while viewing this diverse films. The subject has made me view these films (of which some I have previously seen before) in a different light. I was able to question societies acceptance of these films and the currant themes that ran through out the lectures and the films. Overall the content of this subject has been insightful and intriguing, and I now have an desire to watch about a 100 of the old Hollywood films which I have never seen before.
