The Future...
A big bold statement, some can't wait for the future, others are terrified, personally I'm stuck in the middle. As much as I love what I do it is very scary to think it wont be long till Im finishing university and truly going into the big bad world. Especially since I am at a crossroad on wether to leave after third year and get my degree as opposed to honours, however this will ultimately depend on my placement next year and what me and kevin decide for the future in terms of living situations. For some honours is essential however over these 2 years I have come to learn it is more experience and passion as opposed to education when it comes to my specific field. All I know is I'm going to make the most of this year work as hard as I can with uni work, my business, radio, and much more. It will be tough and stressful and no doubt there will be tears but in the end it will be worth it, the best advice I have ever been given is to do the best you can then push
further to meet your full potential, no dream is too big or too small.

Films That Inspire Me
Hello everyone! Apologises for not blogging in a while i've been super busy with work and redecorating and lots of other fun stuff. However I promise I will be blogging regularly and I am in the middle of editing a blogger event video :).
So I thought I would do a blog on something im very passionate about-film. Film is my life, my career it's everything to me. So I thought I would share with you some of my favourite films which inspire me and which I hold very dear to my heart.
The first film is a Tim Burton classic Edward Scissorhands, made in 1990 this was the first ever tim burton film I had seen, which had started a life long love for this film genius. Personally this film really speaks to me back as a child and even now I can relate to the misunderstood nature of edward and his struggles with social acceptance. Tim burton had shown me it's ok to be different, its ok if kids make fun of you for being weird, reading and writing books all day as opposed to playing outside. Looking back now I find the filming very impressive, some of the close up shots, colours, music and the ending scene are all simply beautiful.
Another film I adore made the same year is Misery, based on Stephen King's classic tale. Having read the book I was a bit skeptical of the film wondering if the story would work as it is predominately in one small bedroom. However was I wrong, unlike horrors of today where everything is all blood and guts, Misery terrifies the mind. The relationship between writer paul and obsessed fan annie is intense to say the least. To this day I cannot look at Kathy Bates without shuddering. Although primarily in one location the impressive acting by both characters makes you completely forget everything else. The subtle filming during scenes which would have the potential to be gory makes for an even scarier experience for the audience, letting their imaginations run wild. For once a film has matched if not been better than the book.
Last but not least although it is not one film I just had to put in Harry Potter, the books and films were my entire childhood. Words cannot express how much these mean to me as sad as it may sound to others, both the book and film opened my eyes to a world of a fantasy genre I could only dream of. To see the progression throughout the films, the maturing of the characters and continued realism of creatures I could only ever imagine through the power of CGI these films have a very special place in my heart. One of my biggest goals in life is to be published and have the opportunity to film my book.
I hope you enjoyed a tiny look into just some of the films which have inspired me throughout the years, if you would like more of these comment and let me know. I am also thinking of doing movie reviews in the near future on my blog and on radio next semester once I am production manager. Till next time.
