A Filmmaker's Guide to: Melodrama
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re 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 ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - 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 you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

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 don’t 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. Green’s 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.

Watching The Notebook at 35
I watched the Notebook for the first time in a while, and it’s funny how time changes ones perception of these things. The Notebook would have been released when I was 18. Of course, I had seen A Walk to Remember and read the book. I periodically watch The Notebook, but each time I become less enthralled. I think the combination of not being pummeled by the emotional roller coaster, maturity, and being a in a long term relationship makes it less and less appealing.

Do Not Watch This Film
Two nights ago I began watching, very late in the sleep cycle of most natural creatures on Earth, the splashgasm called Melancholia. The opening cut convinced me I was already feeling slightly too emo for such a roller coaster of ideas, so I put it off until very early this morning. October 1, 2020.

Movie Review: 'Once Upon a River' Despair in the Form of a Movie
Once Upon a River is as close that movies have come to portraying unending despair outside of holocaust documentaries. The suffering on display in Once Upon a River may be mostly emotional for the protagonist, a teenage half native American girl, but it is so unending and unflinchingly presented, that it falls over viewers like London fog, deep, thick, and unsparing in its consumption of all around it.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Voice From the Stone" (2017)
Let me tell you that I am one of those people who thinks that Emilia Clarke is just absolutely brilliant in every way. This film was no exception as her performance was incredible. Her ability to create depth with her performance by utilising body language and facial expressions that not only suit the situation but also seem entirely genuine made her portrayal of the nurse stand out. Her role fulfilled its purpose - it was meant to make her stand out so that the audience focus solidly on her and therefore, miss this kind of creepy vibe coming from the father and the son who has some sort of Cole Sear thing going on. I'm not going to say that the father and son gave what is considered a cliché portrayal of their characters but they were definitely not deep enough to convey the narrative they were attempting to convey.
