Rosie: Can you please take me to London Bridge.

Taxi driver: Hmm
[Taxi driver turns around again, looks at Rosie one more time, and then drives in a different direction.]

Storyboarding

 

These are my storyboards for the film we watched in a previous lesson. By creating these storyboards I learnt the different camera movements which are pan, dolly, crab, tilt and boom. I also learnt the different camera shots which are close up, extreme close up, medium shot, wide shot, extreme wide shot and low angle shot. By learning these shots it will help create an image of what the film may look like, and will give the people creating the film a guidance.

Battle of the finalists.
The x-factor is coming to an end, as our four finalists Matt Cardle, Rebecca Fergerson, Cher Lloyd and One Direction battle it out. The X-factor judges are desperate for their own act to win a recording contract; it’s a must to have the perfect song choices, as one mistake could lead to eviction, meaning their dreams coming to an end. Talking of eviction, what have our evictees been up too? Well the most recent person evicted is Mary Braun and it looks like a high for her. She’s doing television shows such as ‘Day Break’ and got promotions coming up, the future looks bright. However ‘Aiden Grimshaw’ one of the amazing singers of this series, got evicted early on hasn’t done anything since his appearance on the show, he is not even coming on the 2011 X-factor tour, maybe this is an end for his singing career?  Talking of the contestants why doing they accept criticism with Simon Cowell but have the courage to talk back to other judges on the panel such as Danni Minongue and Louis Walsh. Maybe because it’s Simon’s show, they feel they need to show him more respect?
