- Research the production and distribution of a film of your choice.
- Analyse a key sequence from your film
I'm going to ask you again tomorrow for your choice. Choose carefully, think about a film that you know well and feel happy talking about. In preparation for this, we spent the lesson analysing a scene from 'Titanic' (1997, James Cameron). We looked at the sequence when the boat starts to tip up and Rose and Jack have to make their way to the top of the boat. We're going to practice with another scene tomorrow, not from 'Titanic' but 'Poseidon' (2006, Wolfgang Petersen), just to keep the whole soggy theme going!
The other thing we briefly talked about was the worst films you've ever seen. We're going to play a little game to see what is the worst film any of us has seen. Now I'm not talking about the rubbish and the shoddy, I'm talking about films that are so bad, so utterly terrible they make your eyes itch! So woeful that you can no longer watch. Maybe you've walked out on a film, maybe you've sat through a right old load of dreck with friends or family. I'm not interested in films that you don't like - that's a matter of opinion, I may have not liked Transformers 2, but its not a BAD film, just not very good. In my opinion. No, I want to hear from you about the films that looked like they've been put together over a weekend by a bunch of people who did not have a clue what they were doing. My nomination? 'Domino' (Tony Scott, 2005). Cor its rough, really rough. The whole thing is a mess and, as far as I can see utterly pointless. Its shot like the cameraman was having an epileptic fit and edited so fast that it becomes very difficult to say what is happening. In fact this may be the point, nothing IS happening and the director is merely trying to hide this fact. Dreadful.
Anyway let me know what are the worst things you've seen, either in class or post a comment on the blog.
Ha Ha That Was Funny Sir.
