The Special K Advert

Recently, whilst watching the television, I noticed this advert which resembled our film opening. I want to just add that my group had the idea first and we didn't copy the advert. They have the similar idea of the different weathers, and the different outifts. I like the fact we have a different idea to past years, as we are altering the continuity, apart from our location.

Todays Filming

Today Elisha, Megan, Alyce and I went filming, we had a successful day with many uses of different camera angles. Despite the fact it was freezing, we managed to capture everything we needed. We used our beloved trolley as a dolly, and did our usual shot moving backwards. As it was a cold yet sunny day, the bike created shadows which gave a great feel to the footage. We have nearly completed our filming, we are now weather dependent for either snow or rain, or even both! Once we have filmed everything, we can start to think about a title and a production company name.

Production Companies

Unfortunately, I wasn't in the last Media lesson, but I was able to catch up. We researched film production companies for our exam in May. I had a look at 3 production companies online, and 2 different films for each. These production companies and films are not set in stone, I may research more nearer the time on the exam.

20th Century Fox

- Titanic
- Avatar

Paramount Pictures

- The Godfather
- Mean Girls

Legendary Picture

- Inception
- The Hangover

All of the above are a few of my favourite films. Each film has a different genre, and I believe that I could use these in my exam as I would have a lot to talk about. In my research nearer the time, I may look into Dreamworks, as I am aware they have animated films.

Inception

During the Christmas break, I finally watched the most talked about film of 2010; Inception. It was a very mind boggling film to watch, but throughout it, I picked up the concept, and started to understand what what happening. I found the idea of dreams withing dreams within dreams captivating. The opening shot is of waves crashing among eacother and Leonardo Di Caprio waking up on a beach. What I find interesting is that we see this scene again later on in the film. To watch this rilm, it requires patience, attention and and wide imagination. I particularly like the ending of the film, as it ends on a cliff hanger. I'd love to see a sequel as I found it so intriguing. Now that I've actually had the chance to watch it, I really want to watch it again.

We Need Snow!

Over the Christmas break, I'd been really hoping we would get lucky and it would snow. Unfortuntely, there has been no sight of snow. It's not too late, as we are still in the winter season, and our film opening doesn't have to be submitted just yet.
