How to coat a screen

If you look at the top of my blogger. you will see the first process of how to coat a screen,
the first thing you do is Ink, put the paper under, and you pull the scooper, then you lift,
and repeat the process.


This second part of the picture image is the process of colours, all being mixed together.
Again the picture shows you the process on how to coat a screen, and make it colourful.




In this thrid picture, you are shown 4 layers of colours, each are very colourful.
The first Layer is a white, slash pink colour.
The second Layer is a bright pink colour.
The Third Layer is a bright yellow colour,that i think really hits you.
The third and final Layer is a black, slash grey, colour.
In the picture it shows you when a print can go wrong.
Then it shows you when a print when really well.

what is a brief

What is a brief?
A brief is where you read information on a subject that you are working on or about to study. For example, in college when we filmed the thriller we had guidelines in bullet points. It pointed us in the right direction and made sure that we had the information to help us. Therefore when we read the piece of paper with the brief on it, it helped us because it said things like - when you are filming your thriller look at old and new or even classic thrillers for some inspiration. In the lesson we watched thrillers like Memento, and Shutter Island. Both of these thrillers had amazing twists at the end. We watched these thrillers because our lecturers wanted to give us inspiration for our own thrillers.
With the music video the brief is to film a music video with our lecturer Matt we got to look at music videos for some inspiration as we had done for the thriller. In one of our lessons Matt showed us some classic music video. He showed us videos that stood out and didn't do the same boring thing all the way through. As I am be a hip hop fan I watched rap video but not the boring ones where they get some hot girls and a posh car and get some big muscled rapper rapping and being all over the girl. That is boring and I wanted the ones that stood out. Therefore, I looked at videos like Kanye West Niggas in Paris. That video was filmed during one of their live performances. Also Lil Wayne How to Love video had a story where a young girls life goes horribly wrong and she get raped and she ends up having a child. Then the video changes where she has a great life and everything goes great for her and she gets married and has children. Lil Wayne hardly appears in the music video which I thought was a great change because normally he is a very cocky rapper. I think it is great when rappers show they have a softer side not this whole cocky I'm a gangster type of rubbish. I think more rappers should start making videos with a story and not stick with the whole codes and conventions of their videos with girls half naked and a posh car with a rapper with his shirt off making a fool of himself.
I think that it is important to have a brief because it helps point you in the right direction. If I didn't have a brief for the music video I would be lost and wouldn't have a clue on what I would needed to do. The good thing about the briefs in college is that they have certain deadlines. Sometimes the deadlines really drag out and sometimes they are really short. I think the brief we get helps me to write. If we were set a task without any paper work handed to us I would be completely lost with what I was supposed to be doing. The other good things about briefs is Moodle. The Moodle website helps you on what you need to know to achieve on the task you have been set. Another good way to meet the brief is to write notes on what you have been doing. A good thing about college is that we always get pushed to write notes and they really do help and they help us expand our work. I think to meet the brief it is best every now and then to watch music videos. This helps you with your own which I have been doing. A good thing to look at when doing music video is watch the music you like live because it looks and sounds so much better live.

When it comes to the illegal side of a brief you have to make sure that all the information you have
picked up or gained is true and not false because if you make things up about a person or a brief and you write about it it makes you look like a fool and it looks bad on your grades.For example, if you were given a brief saying Tom Cruise is gay you would know the information is false and you would throw the information away and not think much about it. However, if you were given a brief saying look up and write about the personal life of Tom Crusie you would know that it is a serious brief and you would look up sources that had true information and write about it in your own words. With music videos you would have to look up things about your favourite rap star and write true information about them not false things. Also within the brief you would have to get in contact with the band that will be in your music video and ask their permission to use their track. If you were to use their track to make a music video without their perrmission that is copyright and we all know that to use anything that anybody else has done you have to ask for their permission. If you do not ask the the person's permission the law gets involved and you can get sued and ordered to pay that person money etc for their royalties, so whenever you ask for that person's work always make sure they say yes to save yourself and legal problems.

I think that the key opportunites with briefs are that they always point you in the right direction so that if you follow them you can't fail. We would still be pointed in the right direction with the help of Matt, Steve and Neil as they normally sit down and talk to you with what you can and can't do with the project you are doing. With each bulletpoint on a brief we get we usually get asked to use about 500 words because you can explain a lot with that amount of words. Also with briefs, grades get bumped up because you have followed the right direction of what you need to do. I try and aim for a merit every time I write something but sometimes you miss one part of the brief and that can be annoying because you have spent ages writing up the essay that you need to write but even if you get a pass your lecturers go throught the brief with you and you get the option to improve your grade which is always a good idea because it looks good on you and your work.

script

Bowling for Columbine is a 2002 American documentary film written, produced, directed, and narrated by Michael Moore. The film explores what Moore suggests are the causes for the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 and other acts of violence with guns. Moore focuses on the background and environment in which the massacre took place and some common public opinions and assumptions about related issues. The film also looks into the nature of violence in the United States.

the clip i am about to show you is a interview between Actor Charlton Heston and Michael moore about gun voilence in america and gun control.

Charlton heston is best know to people for his roles in his landmark film such as ben hur and planet of the apes and he was a big gun lover as you have just seen in the intreview as i watched the clip i thought he was not ansering michael Moores questions flairly just grunting and shrugging his shoulders i think the bit where Michael Morre showed the picture of the young girl who had been killed to Charlton Heston good film footage because i think it showed him as a heartless coward who cant face the truth

Michael moore he is a filmaker known for his controverisal documentarys such as Bowling for Columbine 9/11 and sicko all have been controversial but loved by the public when you watch the clip he also is a member of a gun club but he also states that not everyone in america needs a loaded gun in there house hold.

I picked the clip because i didnt want to play it safe and show a clip from planet earth for something along those lines i picked the clip because i thought it was risky and it didnt play it safe i mean going into a big hollywood stars house and slating him for having a rally after a little girl had been shot and killed there the night before was a risky thing to do and i think controverisal moments in films music video games tv etc always make things more fun then to things that play it safe.

a lot of people thought the moment where Michael Moore pulled the picture out of the little girl who had been shot and killed was nasty and heartless a lot of people thought he was bullying a sick old man who isnt quite there anymore a lot of people also said that Moore was a hipocrite for being a member of a gun club then slating it but also a lot of people backed morre up saying it was rising and the recation was intersating and saying Charlton heston deserved it for running a rally there he even says in the interview he was aware of what had happened.

Reviews for the film were overwhelmingly positive, with a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,^[12] thus earning a "certified fresh" award. Another score aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating in the 0–100 range based on reviews from top mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 72, based on 32 reviews, signifying 'generally favorable reviews. Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune wrote, "It's unnerving, stimulating, likely to provoke anger and sorrow on both political sides—and, above all, it's extremely funny."^[13]
Some reviews were not as unequivocally glowing. A.O. Scott of The New York Times wrote, "The slippery logic, tendentious grandstanding, and outright demagoguery on display in Bowling for Columbine should be enough to give pause to its most ardent partisans, while its disquieting insights into the culture of violence in America should occasion sober reflection from those who would prefer to stop their ears."^[14] Desson Thomson of The Washington Post thought that the film lacked a coherent message, asking "A lot of this is amusing and somehow telling. But what does it all add up to?"^[15]
I thought in a way Michael Moore was picking on a old man who has gone a bit crazy as time has gone by but in a way I think it is good for the documentary even though you think he is being a bit of a bully he is getting his point across and a times is a hard watch but you can not keep your eyes of the screen.

For my radio drama I choose to worked with Kyle, I worked with Kyle because I thought it would be a laugh.

The radio drama is about a battle in space sort of like star wars  star trek etc. we based the drama on war films because that is the idea we wanted to do Tim plays a cocky general Andrew plays himself and a gay cocky sort of marine and I play a slow northern.

It reminds of really cheesy old films like the director ed wood would make or films with Arnold Sylvester and Bruce Willis would star in with other the top action sequences with the sound effects I will be using rap music to get my point across and zombie sound noises car alarms etc. to get the stories point across.

With the genre I think it is a mix of action and comedy both being very funny but very horror like at the same time but the main focus is to keep the Radio drama funny and fun for people to listen to.

Documentary

For our recent college project for Steve we had to look at three documentaries, watch and discuss them. The three I picked were Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 and Super Size Me.

The one that I thought was the best documentary was Super Size Me. All three documentaries are about different subjects. Bowling for Columbine is about guns in America. Fahrenheit 9/11 is about the terrible events of what happened on September the 11^th 2001 in America. Super Size Me is about the fast food industry.

The first one I watched was Bowling for Columbine which was directed by Michael Moore. In the documentary he goes around America asking questions about the gun policy. He also tackles the violence that goes on in America. One of the things that really struck me was that if you open up a bank account in certain parts of America you get a free gun. Another thing that had an impact on me was the Charlton Heston interview. That is where Michael Moore goes to Charlton Heston's house and interviews him about gun violence. Half of the questions he asks are ignored by the actor who just sits there and shrugs his shoulders. Later on in the interview, Michael Moore gets out a picture of a little girl who was killed in the hometown of where he is from. After seeing this, Charlton Heston walks out of the interview and Michael Moore leaves the picture by a tree. I think the clip shows Charlton Heston being pig-headed and showing that he doesn’t care about anyone but himself and will defend American gun policy until the day he dies. After Michael Moore showed the picture of the young girl who had been killed many thought that Michael Moore was invading the actor's private life but when you watch a Michael Moore documentary he does and says what he feels and as a viewer it hooks and grips you and makes you want to watch. Now a lot of people think that Michael Moore takes things too far now. However, as a viewer I like people who can be very controversial it always makes things far more interesting. Documentaries that play it safe are really rather boring. The three documentaries that I picked don’t play it safe at all. They push the boundaries with what you can do as a filmmaker and at the time Bowling for Columbine was new and in a way the first of its kind to do something new and brave. However, with all the documentaries Michael Moore makes he has become a comedy target in some hit shows like South Park and the film Team America World Police. The film saw him with his belly hanging out eating a hotdog with him screaming I am Michael Moore I am Michael Moore. When he watched the film he didn’t find it funny and said there was no need for it. On the other hand, you could also argue that there was no need for him to show the picture of the young girl who had been killed in his hometown so there are two sides to the story.

I think the best place you could go and film a documentary would be in America because the place has so much history to it; 9/11, first black president, the assassination of JFK, the Richard Nixon case, the first landing on the moon, etc. As you can tell America has a questionable past. The second documentary I will be talking about is Super Size me, which was written and directed by Morgan Spurlock. The film is about the fast food industry. He ate nothing but McDonalds food for a month. The routine he followed was; 

• He must fully eat three McDonald's meals per day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
• He must consume every item on the McDonald's menu at least once over the course of the 30 days (he managed this in nine days).
• He must only ingest items that are offered on the McDonald's menu, including bottled water. All outside consumption of food is prohibited
• He must Super Size the meal when offered, but only when offered (i.e., he is not able to Super Size items himself).
• He will attempt to walk about as much as a typical U.S citizen, based on a suggested figure of 5,000 standardized distance steps per day,^[8] but he did not closely adhere to this, as he walked more while in New York than Houston.

By the end of the first day after eating only McDonalds, he started to feel sick. Then the next day, while eating a McDonalds breakfast he threw up everywhere. As the documentary goes on, his health starts to get worse and worse and he starts to pile on the pounds. At the start of the documentary you find out that he is a vegetarian and that he would sit down with his family and eat meals with them.

Morgan Spurlock said he had come up with the idea of the documentary after watching TV. He saw two teenage girls take up a lawsuit against McDonalds because they thought that it had made them fat. This proves how stupid America can be. How can you blame the fast food place for making you fat? The customer is going into the fast food place and making themselves fat, they have no one to blame but themselves. After the film was completed Morgan Spurlock went back on to his normal diet. He went back to his average weight size which is 185 pounds, 84kg. His then girlfriend took charge of his diet and his health recovery. He made documents on his journey and his progress of losing his weight. After completing the notes she created a book called The Great American Detox Diet. After the film was complete Morgan Spurlock went back to having his family meals. After watching the film it did not put me off eating fast food. I'm a fast food lover and seeing the side effects it did to his body didn’t bother me at all. The film was nominated for an Oscar but didn’t win, however the film was loved by audiences and film reviewers. It was hated by people who work in the fast food industry. At one point people from the fast food industry tried to get the film banned from being made public. I think Morgan Spurlock had a lot of courage to do a film like this. I think he was very lucky that the film was not banned. After the film’s release, McDonalds got rid of the Super Size portions that they used to do. Now they do small, medium or large. I think the choice you get with large is small but I also think that McDonalds are trying to play it safe.

 

The third and final documentary I will be talking about is Fahrenheit 9/11. The film as you can tell is about the awful events that happened in America in 2001. The film was directed by Michael Moore and as we all know, he likes to be controversial.

The first thing that strikes me about the film is the film's poster where you see Michael Moore and George Bush holding hands. That poster proved to be very controversial with the public but it was effective and people went to watch it. The film was a box office success. In the film Michael Moore tackles the American government and questions whether the US government had a part to play in the 9/11 attacks. When you watch the film most of the people he interviews give just short one word answers, pretending that they don’t know anything. However we all know they do, they just want to play it safe and not give out any information that could hurt the US government or hurt loved ones that are close to them. Michael Moore also shows a lot of news footage of George Bush of interviews on the subject but George Bush being the genius that he is, tries to move the question away from 9/11 on to something else. Now in my mind I think if he was never elected president, then 9/11 would have never happened. I think that he had a big part to play in the attacks but we will never know unless we as an international community push for an answer on what really happened that day. Michael Moore tries to in the documentary but does not get very far because people are reluctant to talk to him. I think that is because Michael Moore is very good at exposing people’s true colours. Michael Moore thinks that the attacks only happened to start a war for money and oil. After 9/11 lots of deaths have been caused because America can’t finish what they started. When the film came out, it proved to be controversial with a lot of people who worked close with George Bush saying that a lot of stuff in the film was not true. Of course they are going to say that, they worked for the man and they don’t want any of his secrets exposed. I think George Bush was a dangerous president for America. When he left as president, he left the country in a mess. Michael Moore shows in his film that he thinks if Bush gets another term the country would be run down and in trouble and of course it did because of the recession. This was my favourite documentary to look at because the whole conspiracy about 9/11 keeps me hooked. There will always be that argument whether the government were behind it but we will never know. When you watch the film you feel sorry for the victims who died on that terrible day. When the film was released the reviews were positive; many saying that Moore had made a really good documentary on a controversial subject, but many who were close to George Bush had a lot of negative comments about the film, saying the stuff being said was untrue.

Accuracy

I think the information shown in the film is pretty much on point and on focus. I think this because if I watched a documentary on something I knew a lot about or loved and they got a fact wrong. I would change the channel or turn the documentary off immediately because I would have found the information shown on the TV to be misleading and I would have also thought that the director put very little effort into the documentary. Also if you were making a documentary like Super Size Me, and you made something up for effect you could get sued and end up in court etc. Therefore when you are making a documentary always make sure that your information is on point and true to the film that you are making.

Balance

In a documentary it is always important to have balance and to present both sides of the argument. Michael Moore is very good at offering both sides of an argument because when thinks he is right in goes in on the attack and when the other person is right I always notice the camera is fixed and looking at him. One example of this is when you watch something like Borat and you are only getting one side of the argument while he is laughing and they are getting more and more angry with him. At times it can be very funny to watch and I get enjoyment out of watching things like that unfold in a documentary.

I think when you are making a documentary that it is important that you stay true to what you are making and not get side tracked with stuff that is of no importance to the documentary and not use cutaways that make no sense at all. I think it can mislead the audience. I am a big hip hop fan and I know a lot about Hip Hop and have followed it for years and I would be really annoyed if I watched something that I knew about and they were lying or included some poor information on the subject. As a fan you would feel that they are letting the side down and have no interest in the subject they are talking about. I always think movie critics give Hip Hop documentary films a bad name because they are well off white people who don't like to see people of a different colour or poor background make something of themselves, that is just my opinion.

For my documentary I plan to stay true to what I am talking about I plan not to go off track as my documentary is about Healthy Eating and the effects junk food has on your body. I myself plan to eat healthily and see the effects  that it has on my body. Knowing me it will kill me. I hope the outcome is very funny and fun for people to watch. When I start filming I want to get people who know a lot about healthy food like nutritionists.

What I have noticed with documentaries is that if it is on a controversial subject or a controversial person the documentary gets seen by more people. That is because people want to see what the fuss is about. However, if you were to play it safe your documentary probably wouldn't do as well. Documentaries like Super Size me, Blowing For Columbine, and anything about 9/11 will get seen by more people because of their controversial nature.

Privacy

Privacy in a documentary is where certain people do not want to give out certain information about themselves. Therefore if the filmmaker asks the interviewer a certain question to ask  the person they are interviewing,, if she or he does not wish to answer it is a sign that they want to maintain their privacy and respect in some areas. Another form of privacy is when you watch crime shows about someone was has been attacked or raped etc. and they don't want to be seen on TV. They have the sequence so that it is half black and so that you can not see the person and also out of respect they dub the voice and change it to an actor's voice for safety reasons.

Representation

With Representation in a documentary there are all types of stereotypes and opinions on subjects that people like. So if I was to watch a documentary on English politics I would be sitting thinking that they are a bunch of posh boys who had everything from the start of their life. As most people have to work really hard to get the things they want from life. There are of course two sides to this argument. For example if an upper class family were to watch a documentary about Hip Hop they would be sitting thinking what a bunch of low life's and that they are thinking they are all tough with them carrying guns and smoking weed etc. However,  with me being a big rap fan myself, it is just their lifestyle and I am not a chav but that is the stereotype that comes with the music itself because of the actions rappers take and how they act.

Objectivity

Objectivity is judgment based on observable phenomena and uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices.

Therefore, objectivity in a documentary means that you are uninfluenced by other peoples actions and emotions and you keep your own opinion on the subject matter and don't really listen to anybody else's opinion.

 

Subjectivity

Subjectivity is judgment based on individual personal impressions and feelings and opinions rather than external facts.

Therefore in a documentary subjectivity means that if I was to meet a certain famous person that feedback I would get back from them would either change my opinion on that person. For example when I watched Bowling for Columbine at the end of the movie I didn't like Charlton Heston anymore because he supported gun violence. Therefore my opinion changed of him but then you will get some people who will agree with his policy. So we are being subjective and not objective depending on our own personal views.
