piano

when classical, sounds so good

music makes such a big difference, piano has to be my favourite

film trailers

They inspire to watch or not watch films, they are just as important as the quality of the film itself, sometimes I think they are actually better.

The work that is put into them, music, cinematography, choosing the right clips etc.. is vital, and can be so effective.
It's a chance to use music with impact, good photography and phrases/words that attack and hit the right spots.
The whole package of a film trailer is something I think is good.

- first film trailer came out in November 1913, USA

- over 10 billion watched annually online

- consisted of various key scenes from the film being advertised, often augmented with large, descriptive text describing the story, and an underscore generally pulled from studio music libraries. Most trailers had some form of narration and those that did featured stentorian(greek loud voices) voices.

-In the early 1960s, the face of motion picture trailers changed. Textless, montage trailers and quick-editing became popular

6. poems
7. signatures

8. family photos - character&memory
9. SLEEP . SLEEP IS GOOD.

faces.

I am changing my like for 'portrait photography' into 'faces'. I like 'photographs' as a separate issue.

The genetic make up of someone is so complex, it creates us, and makes us who we are, our face is almost a extremely detailed symbol of us.

david blaine - MAGIC

Magic.
It is something I love to watch, some just seems impossible, whether it is actually real magic or tricks of the eye/slick movements etc, i don't know, all i know is that it looks amazing and I am left thinking, how?

Magic is the claimed art of altering things either by supernatural means or through knowledge of occult natural laws unknown to science.

I can't decide whether I think spiritually of magic, or whether it is simply an art, a sport, mastered by magicians in order to fool us. The acts I see, seem impossible to actually occur, but there seems never to be any explanation for it. I think this is what I like so much about magic, whilst each trick seems impossible, it appears easily doable. I am never bored with magic, well most magic.



Criticism accepted, some magic tricks are lame.

Inspired by the film 'The Prestige'


Even though it is a just a film, I can use it as a source of research into the background of magic. Behind the scenes, how some of the tricks really work, this proves that the act itself isn't real but the magic of it is creating an illusion.
