BA (Hons) Filmmaking course- Online Cinema

The film I chose to watch was Bruised (2010).I think the film was very well constructed and thought out, because the story-line was very intriguing about a girl who was abused by her boyfriend and saw no light out of the darkness. In the film there is an apple which keeps appearing from being perfect to being torn bit by bit as the film unravels. I think the apple represents the girl and how she was once before, full of colour. But then she was mistreated, and her life like the apple was tearing into pieces until there was nothing left. I think that the black and white effect fits really well for this narrative because it makes the film even more visually disturbing.

BA (Hons) Filmmaking course

I have visited the university before on a previous open day and what attracted me to the university was the environment and people and how everyone is so friendly. When I came to the university on an open day I saw teachers and current students who were very motivated and very positive about their current roles. They loved talking about what they teach, what they study, why they chose to do this, what other students can do to improve on any skills, what other staff members and students can do in their own time. They showed me how studying at this university is both educational and fun at the same time. And how proud they are to have chosen this university. On the open day I was very influenced by all the people I met, because they all had a positive impact on me and my decision for choosing this university.
What attracted me towards the BA (Hons) Filmmaking course is that it prepares me for the industry and you use all the updated software as well as setting a high standard for students and allowing us to work with professionals in the industry as learning individuals. This course covers the most amazing and highly acclaimed topics which are needed to work in film and TV, such as CGI, video post production, camerawork, lighting, special effects production and so much more. I really want to work within all these areas to broaden my creative skills and so I can work with a number of different professionals and individuals to create amazing pieces of work such as adverts, films and TV shows as well as materials for the music industry. This course also appealed to me because it focuses on allowing me to express my own ideas and stories through my work of moving image and learning about the principles of Factual, Fiction, and Artist Filmmaking. This will be vital, important and will reflect the time when I come to make my own short film as learning about all this will make me a better film maker and creative individual.

Manchester Tourist Film

This is a short film which I edited and filmed as an individual for my ICT digital video project.The purpose of my video project was to show and introduce Manchester in a 3 minute video for tourists and overseas students. To be more specific, I was hired by a tourism company to gather information and to collect resources so I could create a film which shows Manchester for what it really is; so the city attractions, places to visit, places to eat and many different places which make Manchester an exciting city.I did my own research and analysed other professional videos before I started on mine, so I knew what people were looking for in a professional video. After that I did all my planning and then filmed tourist attractions in Manchester which I later then edited to get this final product of a film.
