ITV and Sky to the rescue for British Film

ITV and Sky are called on for a helping hand on British Film.

British Films?

This article talks about the British films industry and how politics seem to be getting involved.

Netflex article

Here is an article on how Netflix, an American company, wishes to combat the UK and America with the use of streaming films.

Here is our idea to an ending, which we have had quite a few problems with considering it turned into looking like  a music video.

Warhorse

Just watched warhorse and what an amazing film it was. Sad tears, happy tears, every emotion possible was experienced, as I felt so much love for a horse that I have never even seen before.
The legend that is Steven Spielberg has created another heart stopping film that captured the true emotion of the war through the life of an animal. Not only did it show the true depths of a world war; the camera angles, lighting, mise-en-scene, editing, everything just seemed to stun the whole audience as everyone in the cinema simultaneously let out a murmur as the horse seemed to combat the harshness of the trenches, and isn't the UK a sucker for a heartwarming animal story.

Amazing, amazing film, I could almost say as good as the stage play, and that is saying a lot.
I wish I had a horse now.

I'm sure they have used hamsters due to our country having a love for animals.

Sherlock finale

I am still in awe of the amazing plot of the finale of Sherlock, and after watching it over and over again (you can tell i'm a fan), I still don't understand. I have had many theories behind why he is still alive thrown at me throughout the past few days, yet none seem to either match up or just seem to cliché. This is why the next series can't come quick enough for me, yet the news that it will be out next year (apparently) has upset me and many other Sherlock fans.



And yes, I did cry when Sherlock 'died'.

Filming on Sunday

Although the weather was extremely cold, we braved the winter frost and filmed with the whole group, something we haven't done in ages due to us having a large group and many people cannot make certain days.

Here is a photo of the gear spoke, which we tried to get a close up shot due to the artistic features it posses.

Here are some more photos taken throughout the time we were out.

We again used a Sainsbury's trolley to use as a dolly, we didn't get caught this time! yet we did get some interesting looks from passerby's.

Here we set up the tripod, which would be static as I ride pass on the bike.

Netflex App

Whilst browsing the App store on the iPad I saw that Netflex has got an app, due to it being 9th in the top iPad apps.

This is not only introducing Netflex to the UK, but shows how well it is doing considering the enormous amount of free apps available from apple's app store.

Netflex

A powerful up and coming American company seems to be on the verge of invading us Britons and supplying the power of streaming films. Although already having Lovefilm, the following link to the article explains the technology of today within broadcasting films, especially interesting because of its presence in section B of the exam.

Sherlock

I was watching Sherlock Holmes on Sunday and after watching the previous series/episodes I was eager to see what was going to happen. Yet when I was watching I realised that sherlocks intellect was portrayed in a clever way by using text to show the audience what was either being typed or thought. This was a really interesting way of 'showing' what Sherlock had thought. For instance Sherlock analysed people when first encountered, by which then words would appear showing what Sherlock was thinking, making an analysis of the person. I thought this was a really great way to show how the detective was clever enough to spot such insignificant things which draws a picture of someone, and a great technique which would be good to use if anyone was thinking along the lines of detective work for their opening.
