Prezi: Directors

directors wordcloudThe Apple Macs in the Media room are all named after different famous directors (mine is named Gilliam, after Terry Gilliam). However, my knowledge of directors is shockingly bad; in most cases, I’ve heard the names, but I couldn’t name a single film by them! So, in one of my study periods, I decided to find out who all these directors are…
I also made a Wordcloud consisting of the names of all the directors (because I think they’re pretty).

Research: Prezi: Analysis of Survey Data

After five days of collecting our survey data, we now have forty-five responses. Our amount of responses went up significantly after we posted the link on Facebook, showing how useful social media can be.

I then collected the results and turned them into a Prezi, to make them more comprehensible, rather than just lots of numbers on a page!

Cinema_PictureI found the ’30 Day Film Challenge’ on the internet, and thought I’d do it… I feel like there are so many films I’ve missed out, and I couldn’t even answer my favourite film, but it made me think about films I’ve watched, films I’d forgotten, and films I love.

Prezi: Desert Island Discs

Having mentioned music in my past two blog posts, I’m suddenly very aware that there isn’t much music on my blog, despite how much I love it, and despite the big part it plays in my life. Music can help me regardless of what mood I’m in: it cheers me up when I’m sad, calms me down when I’m angry, and can sometimes make me a bit hyper when I’m already in a good mood.

Recently, for my German homework, I had to choose the eight songs I’d want to have on my iPod if I became stranded on a desert island. This is part of the topic ‘Musik’, which has been my favourite German topic so far! The idea is based on the radio game ‘Desert Island Discs’; this was created by Roy Plomley in 1942, and the format is simple: a radio guest is invited to choose the eight records they would take with them to a desert island (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qnmr).

So, to combine two subjects together, I turned my homework into a Prezi. It has English translations though, because clearly none of my media class speak German… I thought the task of choosing only eight songs was difficult, but interesting; but I hope I never end up on an island with only eight songs to listen to!

Prezi: Christmas Films!

With only a week to go until Christmas, I’m finally getting into a Christmas mood, so I’m digging out all my appalling but cute films from the back of the cupboard and watching them again, almost like a kind of tradition.
Since it’s seven days until Christmas, I’ve made a list of my favourite seven Christmas films and songs, just to get everyone else as excited as I am…

Prezi: Films I Want To Watch

Ever since I asked all of my friends to recommend a couple of films for me, I’ve had 126 films suggested to me…
Some films intrigue me more than others; for example, Django Unchained, despite being regarded as a great film, is a long, long way outside my comfort zone.
So, below is a list of the top 20 films I actually do want to watch… all of which will (hopefully) eventually end up on my blog.
