Three weeks in.....

The past three weeks have probably been the most fun I have probably had at school since Nursey were you played with Lego and were occasionally asked to spell "Duck" until your heart was content.


All the new people who have come into the school have simply now melted into the rest of Year 12 and it is hard to tell apart new from old, eveybody is so nice to one another. :)


This informal teaching and conversation with the teachers is something which has made me actually look forward to school that little bit more. As well as, of course, the "Free's" we get. As the homework hasn't hit us hard yet most people are actually finding a Free boring - it was the case for me today about 45 minutes into my 1 hr 15 min free I actually caught myself thinking "I'm bored - when does geography start?"


I now love the way homework is handled - especially in Media Studies - a simple E-mail to Mr. V or Mrs. F will surfice, and finally! Some people in this school who actually know how to enlarge a screen on Youtube without logging off their computer.


The Media Diaries we are doing for Mr. V will seem interesting - at the end of year or two year period of Media Studies. However I do find myself putting "Do Media Diary!" at the top of a list and slowly watch as other homework slowly push this "To Do" all the way to the bottom of the priority pile.


This blog website is now begining to look it could belong to someone who knows what they're doing on this website and - just like the new facebook - will take some exploring to do before i get totally used to the site. One thing that could turn out to be tiresome is having to link everybody else's blogg one at a time. :(


I'm in "Reeves" and it couldn't be better - for me anyway. For House music we're doing "Alright" by "Supergrass" and I find that me and the rest of the year 12 are struggling even at singing in just one octave.


In Young Enterprise I left one group for another, call me a traitor, but i know who will actually work in this whole thing and I'm going to stick to the people who you can rely on to get the job done. What I then didn't expect is to then become co-MD of the whole 12 person group...this concerns me slightly.


I have a feeling I'm in for many nights spent with a pen in hand and the desk lamp still on at 11.30 at night. This year is going to be fun.

Media Studies - My first homework!

I don't really have a favorite film. I tend to love all the films I watch. But if I had to chose, I'd probably have to talk about the film called Snatch.

This film is one of the best rated films of people my age as well as other films: City of God, In Burgges to name a few; Guy Ritchie makes sure that the plot twists, turns and goes feet in the air in the fast paced action comedy.
The film follows a series of characters all linked to two issues, one them involving the characters Turkish and Tommy as they work for Brick Top to rig bare knuckle boxing fights to win money they’ve bet. Their main boxer hospitalized in a bare knuckle boxing fight against ‘One punch’ Mikey, so they are forced to use a wildcard Irish gypsy boxer. Unfortunately he proves to be unreliable as he refuses to “go down in the fourth” and so BrickTop the local kingpin has it in for the three of them.

The other story involves Sol, Vinny and a dog against Avi with his motley crew in the pursuit of “A diamond as big as your fist”. It sets out as normal run for ex-gambit Franky Four Fingers, diamond thief and courier, who is tempted by Borris “the Blade” to participate in one of BrickTop’s rigged matches – pawnshop owners Vinny and Sol are told by Borris to rob Franky at the Bookies which then goes haywire when Avi finds out that Franky has been robbed.

The plot is cleverly written, both of the stories are mashed together as each cleverly overlaps the other and rollicks through the grimy underworld of gangster London. The characters enter as thick and fast as they exit all are on their own personal agendas and all of them are illegal.
The opening to the film is quick fire and illustrative introducing the characters in a situation that best shows off their personalities.

With Jason Statham (Turkish) narrating his story, the other plotline seems to be shunted out of the way most of the time. There is too much familiarity with its predecessor “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”. Even though Ritchie cleverly weaves the stories into one the writing can be cheesy at times, the comedy is plentiful and will have you rocking with laughter at some point or two.

In the begining....

So i've decide to begin blogging. Well, mainly because my teacher told to as coursework and examiners would look at it. But, I am still interested in it so as my first blog I'll tell you some things I'm interested [ i to may then add to my 'about me' ] so i'm going to try some things out...

Thats me, at a party dressed as a Mexican, the moustache is painted on but when i am blessed with facial hair i may decide to grow it like this... just a thought. --->

Unfortunately I have no pictures of my dog, as my laptop is very liable to crashing i tend to save my photo's on another computer.

Anyway I'll talk about what I'm interested in. Hey! Wouldn't it be fun if you were interested in the things i was in! :D
Then we could talk about things like- Drum and Base, the Kings of Leon, Gigs an stuff, Music in general, Films we've seen, Games consoles and all their may fun games - mainly the Xbox, Beer and fun and anything else which comes into mind.

I'm not really a sporty person, however i can play football, rugby, hockey, tennis, basketball and cricket reasonably well its never been the thing i crave - which at the moment is immersing myself in chocolate - no it's not really but that would be fun. :)

I'm more interested in Art, cartoons, doodling, acting, filming, photography and computer animation - (I would love to work for Pixar when I'm older) . But i really really really want to get into the media industry when I'm older. I did some work experience in summer 08 and i loved it!

I worked at this place in Slough called AVC productions- they sorted out events for large companies like BP and BA and Tescos they would supply the 50ft LED screens and then have a Digital Department produce what ever it is they needed. Think of what they do is like PowerPoint by a Million times better. So i went there and had a blast it was truly an... Experience! :)
