Favourite fashion trend

My favourite fashion trend at the Moment would have to be Camo Trousers. Since the beginning of uni I have been obsessed with Camo trousers because I feel like it is something you can not only wear on a night out but you can also wear during the day, it isa statement piece, a fashion statement, its something that doesn't only have to be worn as uniform but it is a piece of fashion clothing that can be worn by anyone.

BIG TRENDS

Some Big Trends of 2018 have been:

These trends have been very big over the past 6 months, I have seen these trends in many shops such as topshop, UrbanOutfitters and also Zara.

First Year of Uni

My first year of Uni has been going really well so far, I have met so many new people and learnt so many new things. University has taught me so many new things that I will always use in the future. I expected Uni to be a whole different experience, I thought it would be a lot harder and I wouldn’t enjoy it as much, but I have loved every moment of it and everything it has offered me. I have experienced so many new things and have really enjoyed my first year at Uni First year has taught me so many new things and it has helped me learn from my mistakes, which I hope to help me with my second year and how I will deal with everything such as money, work, friends and also how to live alone. First year has made me very excited to see what second year will bring on.

Moving to Nottingham from London

Moving from Nottingham from London has been very different for me. I have gone from living in a very big city to living somewhere where it takes me 5 minutes to walk from my apartment to the city centre. I have gone form living at home where I have someone cooking and cleaning for me to having to do it all on my own which I love but hate sometimes. The things I love about living in Nottingham and going to Uni is that I have my freedom, which I didn’t have much of when living in London at home. Another thing I love is how everyone lives so close to each other, in London everyone either lives in the same area or lives about 40 mins away, in Nottingham most people either live in the same building or on the street next to each other.

Napoleon Dynamite-Analysis

Napoleon Dynamite is clearly of the comedy genre, which is shown by the different conventions used. As soon as the title sequence begins we know it is going to be a light-hearted film from the presentation of the titles.This  is suggested by the logo being written in different types of sauce on plate of food.

The objects used in the sequence to present the titles imply the comedy genre. The first title introducing one of the actors is a example, as it contains supernatural characters. The fact that the character keeps U.F.O abduction insure in his wallet suggest that the film is going to the spoof of a sci-fi film and conveys that the film is bases around a nerdy person. This is a typical convention of comedy films, as they tend to show the lift of a nerdy character and his film.

The main shot type used thought-out the sequence is a medium close up. This shit us used to draw the reader attention to both the objects and titles as the director feels they are equally important in the sequence. They are important as the objects, such as food and toy cars, provide the knowledge that the film is a comedy and portrays real life. I will also use a medium close up shot throughout my title sequences. Examples of the medium close-ups in 

Dawn of the dead- Analysis

Automatically when you start to watch this opening movie title it shows you that it is a science fiction horror given the introduction of a zombie figure in the first 10 seconds. 

The immediate sound effects include screams and chants (riot noises) so the viewer's state of awareness come heightened and tuned to a highly adrenalised state. The heavy thunder noises contrast the lighter wispy noise of the blood being sucked away from the writing that appears on the credits. The use of a heart beat following clips of the zombie's scream humanises the zombies so the viewer understands they were human once but something has infected them. The use of the news caster being asked questions (to which he has limited answers) creates a story telling scenario where the audience are introduced to the concept of the film: a contagion has infected a population and its terrifying consequences have caused panic in the american nation. The use of science related images such as cell cultures and protective gear worn by the men tackling the problem, makes the viewer, as an average person, confused because they might not understand the science on screen and these feelings of uncertainty produce a more anxious feeling in the viewer. The use of archive material from the news, that includes: rioting, shootings, fires and violent scene gives the piece a naturalistic, close to home premise making it not feel removed from the viewer (as science fictions encourages us to consider our worst nightmares coming true). The use of the Johnny Cash song "The Man Comes Around" seems quite obscure and opposing to the images being presented - the tone of the song is major, with a constant rhythmic beat that is strong and doesn't reflect the chaos and changing nature of the images on screen. As the clips continues, more and more chaotic images of destruction, infection, spreading and panic ensue. The scene that closes the clip, filmed quite high up in a building (on a live news report) shows the viewer no one can escape this infection, not even the rich and not even those that try to stay away from it. Cash' lyrics are left being sung over the final 10 seconds, without the use of any sensationalised images which gives a stark and eery feeling before the film has even begun.
