Hello!!

Hello, I'm Lyndsay and this is my A2 Media blog. All of the research and planning I do for this years coursework (A short film, magazine review and poster to go with it) will find it's way onto this blog.

Review

The review has started, I'm getting the writing done first and then fitting in the colour scheme and graphics around that. From looking through other reviews I've noticed that there is rarely just one review on a page, and so I decided to take 3 short films I watched during research and do very short reviews, and include them on the page as a 'Short film' feature page. These are theshort reviews which will be included at the end of the article:

Traffic Warden
David Tennant, Sophie Hunter, Morwenna Banks starred in Donald Rice’s 2004 10 minute rom-com ‘Traffic Warden’, about a love struck traffic warden ‘Romeo’ chasing his ‘Juliet’. With no scripted speech and quirky storyline (Centred around goldfish...) this is a great family short film. 8.5/10

Sorry I’m Late
The Tomas Mankovsky 2009 short ‘Sorry I’m late’ is fun little 3 minute stop-motion piece, ideal for all ages, following a man (Simon Carroll Jones) on his journey after missing a bus, overcoming some rather strange obstacles in rather strange ways.  8/10

For My Blossom
The 2004 6 minute animation ‘For my Blossom’ by Gaku Kishonita is the story of a little boy, trying to find his own path. A little darker than the other two films, but the simple storyline and animation alongside the little boy’s voiceover makes this a memorable piece. 7/10
