Lazy night!

Yeah, that's exactly what I will have.
Films, carrot sticks, guacamole and Dr Pepper, and to top it all of, films! Films, films and more films!
This could make any girls just as happy as anything else. Well, maybe a cup of tea could be nice too, I'll go make one in a bit...

Todays film choise:
The Birds
(Alfred Hitchcock of course! )

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056869/ (lol, release date on my birthday!)

A film whit no soundtrack? Rather interesting, but I have to say... It would probably not be as scary as it actually is if it had violins playing like Mr Hitchcock has in Pshyco. Thw choise of film actually was because in "Film Art: An Introduction 7th Edition" (Bordwell & Thompson) is having more than just a few examples from the film in the editing part. And they did combine a lot of longshots, close ups and straight forward pictures with a few from "bird's eye view".
Other than that, I don't really think the cutting was so much better than in other films. I would say though, it is good, as he gets it in a POV, and you can se action and reaction on what is happening. This I would say, does not show the clip in cronological order that one clip is straight after another in time, but they happen at the same time.

Also, the next film choise is "Kaw", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491005/
I guess a remake of "The Birds", but a rather bad one. It looks like most modern thrillers/horror films. The first feeling you get of it it that it looks a lot like the remake of "Amityville Horror" from 2005 ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384806/).

This makes a big difference from "The Birds". Less long shots, a soundtrack (don't every film have that now a days? Couldn't they just try and make one without, I wanna know whether that works or not), and many clips to make the tempo go up in big parts of the film. A more modern way of doing horror films basically as I said before...

Well, I don't like it, and it seems like most people don't like it if you look at the rating on IMDB.

But right now I don't feel like analyzing and comparing films, so you will have to be alright with me only mentioning them, got a lot to do with my English courses this weekend, but tomorrow I will have the whole day to work, so I hope I will finnish at least something. Right now, I don't even like studying English, and I so badly need a dictionary, I'm getting rather pissed of when my internet decides "Na ah, I won't work, so you won't get on either tyda.se or lexin", which is just *instert ugly word of choise*

But at the moment, I'm quite looking forward to the next week of Film studies as we will probably watch Snow White, and I can cheat! Yeeeeaaah! As I have already learned the history, and a lot more about animated films in another course I have taken, but I guess, everyone else will make it better than me anyway!

Hopefully, I will have my book by next week to! It feels so great to be able to mark things in the book, that you can use in essays and so on, and be able to look in, in the future. Maybe that's the reason so few of my grades are very good... I always have to give the books back to the library before I am finnished with them...

Now I'm blabbering... Better go finnish watching films and making tea...
Tomorrow, there will be pictures up here as I will try and have the time and take some nice autumn pictures outside (if the weather is good that is...)

See ya! :)
