A Filmmaker's Guide to: Folk
In this chapter of âthe filmmakerâs guideâ weâre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the âfilmmakerâs guideâ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youâre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerâs guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Quarantined Halloween 2020
I'm a huge Halloween lover. Since I became a teacher, I always dressed up for my students for Halloween. I went to university dressed in Halloween attire and it really had nothing to do with the cliché 'death and gore' of it all. It was because it gave me a reason to dress up and where wigs, to make people laugh at my funny costumes and actually have a reason to do so. I mean once, I think I went to university dressed as Lestat from "Interview with the Vampire" and the very next year I went as Kiriyama from "Battle Royale" so you can tell how informed I am about the season.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Elephant Song" (2014)
This film is incredibly strange as it first makes you believe it is dealing with the disappearance of a doctor as caused by one of his patients and then, it twists into the fact that maybe the doctor has done something wrong and you donât know what. The patient (Michael) is then in a battle of mind games with a man called Dr. Green whilst he also reveals information about himself, Dr. Greenâs life slowly falls apart before our eyes. Apart from some strong scenes that make realism of the situation, the movie also displays a lack of depth in its dialogue with often predictable conversations and movements. For a long time, the audience are led to believe that the reason that the patient is playing mind games is because he has something to hide when in reality, mind games are actually a sign of trust issues rather than deception. But, with deception being the main theme of the film, I guess they had to try to shoehorn it in with both of them rather than just the correct one.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Voice From the Stone" (2017)
Let me tell you that I am one of those people who thinks that Emilia Clarke is just absolutely brilliant in every way. This film was no exception as her performance was incredible. Her ability to create depth with her performance by utilising body language and facial expressions that not only suit the situation but also seem entirely genuine made her portrayal of the nurse stand out. Her role fulfilled its purpose - it was meant to make her stand out so that the audience focus solidly on her and therefore, miss this kind of creepy vibe coming from the father and the son who has some sort of Cole Sear thing going on. I'm not going to say that the father and son gave what is considered a cliché portrayal of their characters but they were definitely not deep enough to convey the narrative they were attempting to convey.

A Filmmaker's Review: The Rite (2011)
Shoddy writing and empty performances by everyone except for Sir Anthony Hopkins meant that this film was pretty much a failure from the very beginning. With a main character who cannot seem to hold the storyline together nor is sure of himself, the audience fails to put their faith in him and therefore, it makes it very difficult to see the storyline as something that he can have an impact on.

How a Stranger Brightened My Day
My story begins at home on the morning of Monday the 28th of September, 2020. It starts with me getting up at my regular 4am and feeling a bit under the weather. I suffer from agoraphobia and knew that I had to go to an open warehouse in order to get supplies such as pasta and sauces etc. to store them out of my mother's fear of another lockdown. I took my medication, did my yoga, worked out a little and then had my breakfast. All this time, I was consciously aware of this trip and since I have suffered from agoraphobia for over ten years now, I made efforts to control my breathing and take my heart rate down. Eventually I had to use medication to do the latter. My medication makes me upset, bloated and in some cases, confused and dizzy. I had (and still have) been having vertigo because of the medication.
