Week 6

This has been quicker than last. It seems like I have not been in Uni at all, due to some mid week class alterations.

Monday was with Andy, he was talking about film genre. Film genre helps us to study film closer, comparing like with like and how they are understood and what the meaning behind them is. We also looked at the repertoire of elements in different genres which was interesting, e.g Tommy guns (gangster films), Horses (westerns). Also films cross genres, Die Hard could arguably be a western rather than just an action film. Genre helps us to define films and what should be involved.



Tuesday, Factual Programming. The class took a visit to the Mitchell Library. We were give an induction on how to access historic archives and general house keeping rules. I have never been to Mitchel Library before but it seems a good source for research.



Wednesday. Our class with Zam had been altered.



Thursday, TV content origination. Adam who is still ill, assigned us to watch Being Human. A comedy drama which follows the lives of a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. The drama has a very different perspective view of the norm, which makes it worth to watch. Our homework is to submit a T.V programme review sheet which is bringing us closer to what should be involved in today's T.V dramas.



Friday was the uni open day, stretching my communication skills. I spoke to several applicants, most of them seemed to be interested. I met a previous applicant from last year who is applying again this year. He seemed eager so I wish him well.
