Our Vlog is up!

Image
This is our vlog! The basic gist is that we recreated what its like to do a uni group assignment by stereotyping. With one person who is bossy, another who is always late and making excuses, one who is constantly crying, and one that everyone hates. This isn't to be taken seriously, as it is entertaining and relatable in particular to Uni students. We related it to our blog through cinematic techniques such as talking heads and different shots, as well as the reference to Friends! We put this together by filming at Macquarie Uni campus, by the lake and outside the classrooms. Each group member featured in the film and contributed ideas and suggestions throughout the assessment. This collaboration provided us with the end product, as seen below! Isobel used iMovie to piece the whole film together, and Maddie uploaded it onto YouTube. Check it out below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX_BbJPq2Rg -Maddie and the rest of the team 31/10/2017

So, what makes this movie so powerful?  This movie in unlike your average superhero film. To start off the main character is a woman and the background basis of the story conveys a deeper representation of women and girl power than most films have befor...

A tale as old as time: Beauty and the Beast

Image
Known best for her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter, Emma Watson stars as Belle in Disney's new "Beauty and the Beast", a remake of their 1991 animated version. Alongside her costars Dan Stevens (Beast), Luke Evans (Gaston) and Josh Gad (La fool), the tale is revolutionised as one of the more feminist Disney movies of the 21st century.  Smashing box office records, Beauty and the Beast featured the same musical numbers as the old, appealing to older viewers as well as younger ones. The distinct and beautiful voices of all characters in the musical numbers made for an entertaining and emotional journey, despite knowing all the events that would occur. Emma Watson playing the talented female heroine ‘Belle’ acts as a role model for young girls all over the globe, as they watch her turn down a man who is not right for her, despite society telling her otherwise. We see her go to endless lengths for her family, and develop a strong emotional connection with ...
