Observational Piece #7

A man. Dark clothes, with a white shirt and black tie visible under a large black coat. His skin pale and eyes hidden. There was a hint of grey in the little facial hair he had, but otherwise his hair was dark. He kept his gaze to the ground as he walked slowly up the steps and out onto the street.

A woman. She also wore all black. Her skin was dark and her eyes heavy. There was a slight tremble about her. The only force she was using was in her hands, which held close to her chest a small bouquet of flowers. Her dark hair was tied back tight, doing nothing to hide the solemn expression she had on her face.

She was on the verge of tears.

These two people held each other tightly, with elbows interlaced and hands locked. It was clear that this was grieving being shown, out in the open for all to see. The couple continued walking, although their destination unclear.

I was raised as a lover of films, becoming enamoured with worlds presented on the silver screen in 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' before I had even entered Kindergarten. This is what first got me interested in pursuing media studies, but I hope to expand my knowledge beyond film through what RMIT can teach me.
