We watched Independence Day. We made notes on the narrative, charachters and settings. we found out that many Disaster movies have parrallel narratives. When an audience are watcing a Blockbuster, they expect to see: Famous Actors/Actresses, Speacial effects, a successful director and lots of action. I understood everything in this lesson. We continued watching Independence day and made more notes on the characters and apperence of the aliens and Stock charachters. We also found out more about Stereo-Typical Blockbuster movies. we watched part of war of the worlds and leart about different camera techniques and about how the central protagonist Ray Ferrier is portrayed. I found this very useful. || ** Today we looked over the summer homework and made notes on our peers work, i found this particuarly useful as i found other things i could include in my work to improve it for the next piece! ** || ** Today we carried on watching independence day. I found a lot more things to make notes on the 1950's science-fiction films(especially war of the worlds) rather than the science-fiction blockbusters. I think this is because the 1950's ones are more stereo-typical to the genre! ** ** I have now finnished my women in print advertising essay, and I now need to finnish writing it up in neat! ** || Tyerman, Benjamin July 17th We watched Independance day and wrote down notes about characters, setting, storyline etc ||

 * __July 17th__- last lesson we watched Independence Day(2008)and made notes about the: narrative, characters and setting. We also got told what a parallel narrative was this is a film which shows you the lives of different characters and in the end all the characters meet up normally because a disaster happens. We also found out how famous actors/actresses make more people want to see the film. I understood everything in this lesson. **
 * __ September 7th- __ We have been learning about differen t camera techniques directors used in War of the World's and what effect they have on the viewer. We also learned about how the central protagonist Ray (Tom Cruise) is potrayed. I have understood everthing so far. ** ||
 * **Stevens, Katherine... July 18th. we watched independance day, and we took notes on he parrallel storylines, and narrative, and characters etc. We got homework to research 17 films over the summer, and to watch 2. I don't know what I'm gonna do about that though, because I don't have any Sci-Fi movies!!! If people are up to letting me borrow a couple of DVDs that I could watch, That would be great!!! Thanks... :)**
 * 12 September.... we're doing about War of the Worlds, and about all of the characters eg Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise :D), camera angles, dress code, characeristics. We are doing LOADS of writing, and lots of homework D: but I suppose it will all help for the GCSE... Luckily it's not as hard as I thought it would be but it is still a lot of work (but I'm just lazy!!!) Byeeeee reader :{D**
 * 18th November- We are writing our essays for how women are presented in adverts and I have almost finished mine... I am hoping to get a better grade than a B this time.. I am finding this essay a little bit easier than the WOTW essay, but I find the topic more boring than the science-fiction film one...**
