In this chapter of âthe filmmakerâs guideâ weâre going to be thinking and rethinking about actors that I have personally called âawfulâ in the past and seeing why I was wrong, and actors whom I called âgreatâ in the past and seeing why I was wrong. Hopefully, this helps you to identify how your opinion can change as a human being and how, through research and observation, you can make a more informed conclusion even if your previous one was the entire opposite. Film and literature is all about changing our opinions and if our opinions remain static throughout our study then we probably havenât had the full experience of the subject at hand. We need to be open to change in our thought processes and really, thatâs what criticism and theory is about. If we start by opening our opinions up to change on particular base level types, then we can slowly build these up to see how we could possibly change our opinions on a grand scale. I will start by rethinking actors and actresses I have either previously thought as not very good at their job or very good at their job and will be arguing the opposite; demonstrating my change of opinion. So, if you see the ârethinkingâŠâ line in my title, you can bet it is a part of this series.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Melodrama
In this chapter of âthe filmmakerâs guideâ weâre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the âfilmmakerâs guideâ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youâre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerâs guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Quarantined Halloween 2020
I'm a huge Halloween lover. Since I became a teacher, I always dressed up for my students for Halloween. I went to university dressed in Halloween attire and it really had nothing to do with the cliché 'death and gore' of it all. It was because it gave me a reason to dress up and where wigs, to make people laugh at my funny costumes and actually have a reason to do so. I mean once, I think I went to university dressed as Lestat from "Interview with the Vampire" and the very next year I went as Kiriyama from "Battle Royale" so you can tell how informed I am about the season.

3 Things That Aren't Helping Your Agoraphobia
If you haven't read the first article in my series on having agoraphobia then please click here. I am making this series as I approach the ten year mark of having been diagnosed with agoraphobia and so, I hope to share my experiences, help others and possibly give you some hints and tips not as solutions but as things to assist you in managing your condition. As someone who has a decade of experience, I have many, many tried and tested methods. Some of them work, some of them do not. If you would like to look at three coping mechanisms that you can use then the first article with the link is just for you. But, if you've already been through that one, I would like to share three things that are probably in your life that you don't realise are having a huge impact on your state of wellbeing when it comes to agoraphobia and are possibly making it a whole lot worse to deal with. So let's get into this article that investigates:

A Filmmaker's Review: "Elephant Song" (2014)
This film is incredibly strange as it first makes you believe it is dealing with the disappearance of a doctor as caused by one of his patients and then, it twists into the fact that maybe the doctor has done something wrong and you donât know what. The patient (Michael) is then in a battle of mind games with a man called Dr. Green whilst he also reveals information about himself, Dr. Greenâs life slowly falls apart before our eyes. Apart from some strong scenes that make realism of the situation, the movie also displays a lack of depth in its dialogue with often predictable conversations and movements. For a long time, the audience are led to believe that the reason that the patient is playing mind games is because he has something to hide when in reality, mind games are actually a sign of trust issues rather than deception. But, with deception being the main theme of the film, I guess they had to try to shoehorn it in with both of them rather than just the correct one.
