Se7en

On Wednesday the Media group watched the film 'Se7en' starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. The plot was very interesting, however the film itself was very gruesome ! I admit I'm not very good with gruesome things so i must've missed about half of the film, due to hiding away, but from what I saw I very much liked it.

The acting in this was of course fantastic (as it was Brad Pitt, Kevin Spacey and Morgan Freeman), and  put together with the twists, plot line and creepiness made a brilliant thriller.

This is the opening credits to the film, and as the film unraveled the relationship between the opening credits and the plot becomes clear. I guess it's a good way of keeping people on their toes and pointing out things that were in the introduction, and it worked for us !

Group 1 Vlog

This vlog is all about our trial run of filming on the underground. We discuss camera shots, what went well and what didn't go so well.

Filming Underground

This is a clip of a few of group 1's successful shots from our first time filming underground for our 2 minute intro. This clip includes the time lapse shot of Alice, for which she had to stand still for about 10 minutes on the tube ! We managed it, but as it was only a practice shot we will be filming it again. We've included clips of Alice's fantastic acting skills, and some various shots of our shoes ! Enjoy !

This is group one's mini bus vlog, which we filmed on the way to our practice filming 'outing', for our final two minute intro.

Film Plan

So this is group 1's idea of a film plan (completed with illustrations). This is mine, Athena's and Alice's way of writing down our plan and idea for our final film idea. It includes what the different characters will be doing during the film and the idea for audio.

Vlog about our film idea !

Downton Abbey

Due to Downton Abbey finishing its third series on Sunday, (and having starting to feel withdrawal symptoms), I thought it was appropriate to talk about my favourite TV show.

An odd choice for my favourite TV show for my age, however the story line, characters and costumes make it very entertaining. The establishing shots of the house are my favourite, as you are able to see Downton in all its glory, in full view. Some of the plot lines, I must admit are a bit over the top, however they never fail to entertain.

 Series 2 was definitely my favourite series as it was set during the First World War so the story line was full of deaths, scandals and romances. However, Series 3 was quite a disappointment for me, it was pretty...boring. Having to wait almost a year for Series 3 to begin, I had incredibly high expectations for the new series, but other than the unexpected ( and very upsetting ) death of Lady Sybil, I am sad to say that Downton failed to entertain me as much as it did during the last series.

 Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys period or costume dramas, and over the top story lines !
