Testament of youth

Testament of youth is a film that conveys a portrayal of the role of women in world war one showing the hardship they endured away from battle. The weather is used to show different emotions for example when she is excepted in to Oxford it is a bright sunny day with little noise however when she arrives in France there is persistent rain at a deafening volume showing the ongoing trauma that war is and the high volume represents the intensity of the war. Also the director conveys his ideologies surrounding war through Vera. war is unnecessary, brutual and barbaric this is shown when Vera treats a German solider on his deathbed and he cries showing the Germans are people like us with emotions not the a monstrous race we must destroy,this perception is also illustrated during a heated debate weather we should retaliate against Germany and Vera believe that this ludicrous way of solving problems (war) is pointless because it ends in loved ones being lost for everyone.

Evaluation of my contribution to Him.

Evaluation

For our magazine Him. I was responsible for a review for England's recent fixture against San Marino at Wembley. My article changed a lot from my first attempt ,not the content but the general look of my article as my review mirrored an essay instead of a glamorous piece of art it was a well written page of boring writing. The addition of photos, columns concluded in a presentable article to match our quality magazine.

My thoughts on Love does grow on trees.

Love does grow on trees is well constructed short film that portrays  the media's outlook upon a boys teenage years and curiosities, whether they are accurate or distant from the truth is irrelevant. An  underlying theme was coming of age is Which is cleverly construed by the development of the tree. During the first appearance of the tree we hear fantasy music and the boy is mesmerised by the mystery and magic of the of paper flying round the tree.When he realises that maybe he should put the porn back where he found it the discovery that it isn't magic and a man is behind it represents the maturity of the boy and the reality of life,the film is reminiscent of the wizard of Oz.So to conclude although I didn't enjoy the film I feel that this is a cleverly constructed film. I also feel the irony of the title portrays the boys initial view of love
