Recently i have been watching alot of media products that i like, i am going to put some of my favorites on here that i enjoy.
This is a short film by the young amature american director Kurt Schneider. I really enjoyed this film i think it is shot well and everyone can relate to the main character in the respect that nobody wants to have regrets in life.
Thrush is the winner of the vimeo winner for best narrative. It is a funny and inventive video that kept my interest the whole way through.
I really like stop motion, it is something that takes a whole bunch of time but i love the effect and result you get out of the time you have put in.
My single camera drama is covering the topic of The Big C, some of the material i have found that i like are about this subject so i have been using it as material to help me write my own script.
“Last Minutes with Oden.”
“Last Minutes with Oden.” won the vimeo best video. It follows the journey of a dog owner and how he felt when his dog Oden dies of cancer. He re-lives his memorys in the video it is a well shot video.

I am currently in contact with the screenwriter Tim Clauge of my short film Eight on which i am conducting a case study.
I contacted this person because they were a big part of the production of the film in itself.
i asked questions which i thought would add to my knowledge of the film itself and the process which was taken in making it.
I believe this will benefit my case study as i know the information will be from a trusted reliable source and i can tailor the questions pacifically so i can get the questions i want, answered.
I also conducted primary research for my research essay i contacted an industry worker to ask them why conducting research is important within the media industry, i spoke to someone in marketing and who works with graphic designs, they described how important it is to have research particularly when it comes to working on a new project or ad campaign.
