The Blind Side

The Blind Side" is based on the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American addolescent from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well rich white family who help him offering him food and home. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

IB film

I am going to view during the summer, The Exorcist to refresh my mind because I have seen it 3 years ago and the same with 28 weeks later,this will help me besides of refreshing my mind to identify any moment that I did not took notice when watching it the first time.
As my job for the movie I will choose to be cinematographer because its the task which I am more familiarize with and I enjoy the most.
For the member of my film I would like Lucas Brucco to edit it, for the script maybe Max Cooper.

Rationale for independent study

My documentary will be about how horror films reflect their society’s fears.

As my case studie I have chosen from the USA “The Exorcist” (1973) as it is a classic film and as a recent and more new film I have chosen the Japanese movie "Ringu" (1998).

Short Film

Synopsis:

Begins in an office, bankers working. Jason is the boss, a strict one. He revises everyone’s work done at the end of the day. He finds that Tommy hasn’t done anything, so he starts to discuss with him. In the end, mocking him, he fires him. Tommy goes to a bar, starts drinking, and in the next scene he goes back to his flat (poor area) and tells his wife that he has been fired, and the wife starts crying, while showing Tommy that there has been a card sent to them saying that they owe money or their house will be mortgaged. They fight between them because the wife knows that they will not be able to pay; Tommy says it will all work; wife says: no, it’ll never work. Never. The wife leaves the flat. Tommy does his tie, in front of the mirror. Grabs the gun. Leaves.
