Well it seems that I've been watching a lot of trash TV recently and hasn't seen anything that's particularly grabbed my attention.
The last film that stuck for me was ' Man with a movie camera' which i actually thought was really good. It's very good at capturing your attention, considering it's without narrative or dialogue. I think the pace of the film is crucial to its success. The pace was really good and the shots were really nice, i liked the shots of the 'man with a movie camera' It's the first time I've seen that kind of observant filming of someone filming so early on in cinema. This was a real eye opener for me anyway in terms of advancements in early film.

In other news, i was lucky enough to have a preview of a new series that will be broadcast on channel 4 on Monday made by a Scottish production company. It's an animation show called KNTV, an education show aimed at teenagers. They previous series was KNTV-Religion and KNTV- Philosophy and the one to be aired on Monday is called KNTV- Sex. Now we know that there are many minefields in sex education in Britain today and i foresee some controversy surrounding this. Screened at 11am every day for two weeks some of the language and scenarios could be questionable for this time of day.
Unlucky that the time means we will all probably miss it, but if you get the chance give it a watch...I thought it was great!
