Work


According to a research conducted by Pediatrics of American Academy, spending hours on social networking sites can lead certain teenagers to start comparing themselves to others, resulting in depression.

A recent survey conducted by i-SAFE America concluded that 58 percent of children who have experienced cyber bullying never told an adult or their parent.




The scheme will begin on Monday. Bullies will be sent police messages warning them they could be prosecuted.
The force said it wanted to communicate with young people using a medium they were comfortable with.
Reading safer schools officer Pc Dave Thomas said: "By sending a police warning notice on Facebook, students will be made aware they could be prosecuted.

Valuts Of Secrets Layout Of Script

In the script it shows that they write INT for inside of a clip and EXT for outside of a script. Then they will write if it is DAY or NIGHT. In this script when they described an object or something they describe it in detail like when there is a light they will say a 'dim glowing light'

Report of character profile

i learned that on the character profile you have to write all the details of your characters because you will need to show the audience what kind of person they are and what kind of things they like for examples their hobby, favorite food, football team, education child hood age etc. And also the things they dislike like don't like sports make up etc. You will have to write information relevant what will suite the story/film you make so the audience can actually understand which character is who.

The problems i might have is that the children might lie about being well behaved so i will ask their teacher, parents etc. Also i might not have permission so i will ask permission from their parents. I will have to research what a good diet contains could use the internet, books or ask a science teacher. I will have to check if the internet website i research is trusted because anyone can post anything on the internet so it will be better if i read a book or

What I did 2day

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/writersroom/2011/10/new_script_merlin_-_the_wicked.shtml

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01692qr/Merlin_Series_4_The_Wicked_Day/

Basically I looked at the script of Merlin and saw the EXT and INT.
Ext means exterior which is outside in a scene and interior means inside  in a scene.
We read the script of Merlin and then watched the episode. After that we stopped the video after every time the scene changes and we looked back to the script to show if it's ext or int.
If the scene is interior and exterior it will show ext/int on the script and then the location.
I could use this in my film by writing ext/int whenever the scene is inside or outside. Also the text is simple and gets straight to the point. This is easy for everyone to read

Time Line

The first scene will be interior: INT. Boxing Arena
Johnny is shouting at Dan because Dan's coach owes him money and hasn't paid him yet. They are about to start a fight but everyone stops it.

What i have done so far

First there will be someone called Johnny who is a semi pro boxer and is very muscular. He then lends a friend of him who is a coach of Johnny's rival in Boxing and he doesn't pay him back. Then Johnny's rival who is a bit chubby says they will have a 12 round boxing match and the winner will get 1 million pound. So they can pay each other back.

Johnny will walk in the boxing stadium and then he will go to the snack bar, And his rivals name is Dan and they always end up fighting for little things. Then they will try to start to start a fight but everyone will stop.

Then Dan will say next week to start training so they can have their match. Then the match will be scheduled next week. Lots of people will buy tickets and the tickets will be sold out.

One week will past and then the fight will happen but just a few hours before the match a group of hired knife men will be hired from johnny to stab his rival. When it is time johnny's rival Dan doesn't show up then jus when everyone was leaving Dan came in and had a knife mark, and wins the match but dies because of the knife wound.

5 Modes Of Documentary

Performative Mode

Holiday sort of mode, film maker stars in the documentary about his thoughts and opinions of the subject. Better understanding for you, the aim is to get the audience to experience and feel it. It gives gives you emotions and this is the hardest out of the 5 modes of documentary.

Expository Mode

This is where the film maker is 'the voice of god', He is the authoritative speaker - knowledgeable
relationship between the voice and imagery and there are interviews. It also supports the argument of one side. Conventional narrative structure- beginning middle and didactic - gives lots of information. Most common and classic type of documentary.

Observatory Mode

Film maker only observes but not in the documentary. Its a slice of life. There tends not to be a voice.

 Interactive Mode
This mode interacts with the viewers and has lots of dialogue, opinions, questions and interviews of different people. It has logical structures of the documentary. Also at the end the audience is left behind.

Slumdog Millionare Review

Name: Slum Dog Millionaire

Production year: 2008 
Country: UK 
Age Certificate (UK): 15 
Runtime: 120 mins 
Directors: Danny Boyle, Loveleen Tandan 
Cast: Amil Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Azharudin Mohammed Ismail, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Irrfan Khan, Madhur Mittal, Rubina Ali

Jamaal gets arrested for cheating in the millionaire. They don't know that he never really cheated. Because he was brought up in a slum they don't believe him that he knew all the answers of the millionaire so the movie shows flashbacks of how he really knew the answers. It shows his childhood where he is with his brother but their mother gets killed so they become orphans then they meet a girl called Latika but she keeps gets taken away from Jamaal by his brother Salim who turns evil because he is tempted by power and money. Jamaal and Latika fall in love but when get they taken away from each other Jamaal tries anything he can but always fails so he joins the millionaire so she can see him. In the movie there is a part

I like this movie because of the storyline. It shows that you don't have to brought up by rich people or by a rich family to become rich yourself. It explores the genre of love because it shows how far a person can go just to be with someone else. It also explores how much people desire power because it shows Jamaal's brother Salim kill people just to gain power and money. I like at the end how Jamaal's brother Salim dies because he is in a tub full of money and gets killed. I think this is trying to show that when you die you don't take any of the money with you even if you worked for it all your life. It shows Salim praying to god to forgive him when he was going out to kill someone. I also like the way they rewind back to the pars where Jamaal was with Latika when they finally got together at the end of the movie.

I also like how it shows the real India and it shows how much poverty some of them are in. It makes the watcher feel sorry for them when they see little children living in hard conditions and the conflict what happens between the Muslims and the non- believers.

Research Media

Introduction: What is research?. Research is when we use sources like internet and books to find out information on the topic or thing they are looking for. Then they will get knowledge of their topic. This is useful for students who are researching something for their school homework like Science, English homework etc. 

There are 4 different types of research:
  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Qualitative
  • Quantitative
Quantitative research is when the information is in numbers and has statistics. For example if
a student has a homework from his Maths teacher that is to research what pi equaled. The student 
will  either go on the internet to research or the maths textbook. This is equal to π = 3.1415926535897932384626433. This is called quantitative research. It is also surveys
and questionnaires

Primary research is when it is new research like first hand research. This is when it has just 
been collected.

Secondary research is when the information is second hand. The is when the information has 
already been collected.

Qualitative research is when the information is in words and is in detailed writing. This is like 
case studies and interviews 
because in an interview the interviewer doesn't say numbers or statistics to him. He will speak 
in detailed words. This makes it have an advantage because

Also a focus group is when a group of people will get together to find out as much information.
