What Film I think should win the Oscars
I think that Hurtlocker should win the Oscars. The 2008 film blew me away with it’s insight in to the Iraq war and their Bomb Disposal Unit. Throughout the film you where on your edge of the seat where the team where in constant danger, from the beginning we were put in as part of the team and made to feel like we are on this journey with them. I feel Hurtlocker portrayed the events happening around us that often we are sheltered from or portrayed very different through the use of the media, the insight we were given illistrated the goings on in Iraq very well it gave us a slight incline in to what it is like for our armed services and special units out in iraq and the constant danger they put themselves in to. Not only does it give us an insight in to what our services are put through it has an underlying message of friendship, bonding, and teamwork that many people can learn a lesson from. All together this film and its messages really are an inspiration and something we can all learn from and for this reason should be awarded an Oscar.
As you can see from this clip it has great poignancy in the fact of the emotions involved within the Iraq war and how much war can affect someone and affect their dreams. It also shows the risks they take for their country and the friendship and trust that is built between the men that they confide their inner emotions, dreams and ambitions and how they seek and rely on others for the answers or to give them some direction in what to do.

Research
I have used a variety of Research for my Advertising assignment I went to Tesco to look at other competitive brands I have also done alot of internet research on looking at old and existing adverts from the popular site youtube.
I have also used research for a facts video I am producing where i used various books upon dreams to gather some information on dreaming I also used a variety of sites written by dreamologists who study dreams continously finding out new facts every day.
Also I used research to find out facts on my wild tiger soundtrack so I new information on the tigers I was talking about I used a varity of research tools such as internet and books that have followed tigers on a research project in to the tigers life at a reserve.

Best film of 2009
In my opinion the best film of 2009 would have to be Paranormal activity. A horror that seriously freaks you out! The effects are so realistic its almost as if its a true story. The scenery and set up was amazing and the special effects gave it such edge that really had you on the edge of your seats and as the story line progressed you felt more dragged in to the film. Paranormal activity has been said to have been the scariest film of all times. I really enjoyed this film even though it really was one of the scraiest things I have watched by far.
heres a trailer of the film which is a must see by far.

Arguement for file sharing and piracy.
My understanding of the effects of piracy and file sharing is that it has been amalgamised in to a huge threat to our existing companies in which it is a great crime to commit and your stealing from the great, infact this untrue as Piracy in a way is not techincally stealing as they are only copying the information provided by the company it isnt actually stealing an object or taking anything from anyone. Legally it is copyright infringement in which has no connection at all with stealing or theft in any way. There is also the fact that people who do pirate never buy content, this has been overruled with a recent study and the fact that people who download a lot of music do tend to also but alot of it after sampling or viewing in a poorer quality.
The file sharing can also give a chance for people to download music and make remixes and mashups of the songs therefore creating a new culture and a new wave in music evolution. Also the fact of the recent economic crisis students and younger generations dont have enough to pay for luxuries such as cds and recently there has been a law suit as 5 of the biggest music compaies were sued for price fixing on music, this making it harder for people to spare the money to fund the companies to have such a luxury as to listen to the latest music album. So the fact we are stealing is meerly an excuse for companies losing money and in a way they are gaining promotion from piracy and file sharing and the fact that many people cant afford such luxuries provides those people with some entertainment in times of economic crisis where luxuries are minimal.

HORROR !
horror films are a good and bad thing dependent on the way you look in to it a horror film can give you an excuse to cuddle up to a guy your fancying or they can be a pointless way in which to scare yourself stupid and upset your sleep pattern for the next fortnight. Horror films are a rather weird way of the script writers expressing there slightly mad and sick minded feelings this genre in the film world can either be make or break you can have excellent horror films yet there are some extremerly poor films such as the cradle will fall this film was such a poor horror film, yet there are some films such as paranormal activity that truely do scare ya to death and leave ya jumping at every noise for the next year.

Trailers
Well what can I say Trailers the most important part of the advertisement of the grand films release and yet so many get it soooo sooo wrong letting to many cats out of the bag. This in turn ruins probably a very expensive movie, what really is the point in doing that! do these people really not think at all that maybe there hopes for this film is resting on possibly 30 seconds of pure and utter giveaway advertisement. Yes they need to show you what the films about but come on there is a certain way of discreetly dragging you in and wanting to see the film then just showing you basically the best parts of the film ! seriously need to review the trailers before they are taking the one way trip to poor film city.

Adaptions
Hmmm well im telling you know adaptions can be the make and break of most programmes and films and tbh are generally the break, personally I find adaptions are a little to much of the wanna be’s in the world of media not quite up there with the top brother or sister. Perfect example being the fast furious films they have just become repetitive the first yes agreed was very good but come on how many more good-looking cars do you really wanna waste just by smashing it up in a similar way to the first movie it truly is shocking.
