these are some pictures my group and i took for a little set task. each of these pictures are there because we found them interesting for different reasons. some due to objects, which looked different or created different shapes, we tried to look at lines and framing. my favorite pictures personaly are the ones where the light creates some kind of special effect on things, and close ups of nature, which we were amazingly able to capture

Lecter in his part in a Hannibal killing … whilst in jail:
France’s “Hannibal Lecter” said Wednesday a sexual urge drove him to kill his cellmate and “curiosity” about the taste of human flesh led him to cook and eat a lung he ripped out of the corpse. He said he flew into an “uncontrollable” rage after his victim gave him a “dirty look” on January 2, 2007 after he ordered him to wash his hands after using the toilet in the tiny cell they shared with a third inmate in Rouen. He said that after pummeling his victim, he took a pair of scissors and plunged it into his back, neck and chest a dozen times before holding a plastic bag over his head “for five minutes” to make sure he was dead. Then he decided to eat Baudry’s heart for his evening meal. “I take a razor blade and I open his chest. I plunge my hand in and I take out what I think is the heart but which in fact is a piece of lung, which I put into a Tupperware container,” he told a transfixed courtroom. “I did it out of curiosity to see what it was like to eat human flesh,” said Cocaign. “What is terrible is that it (the lung) was good,” Cocaign told him, according to his testimony. “It has the taste of venison. It is tender. What I did I like doing.” “No one was listening to me,” the detainee said. “I took action, and then they took me seriously.” Totally crazy and a nut-case! This guy needs to be put in solidarity confinement for the rest of his life.
Fat man and his belly button in: 'smuggling the coke'
A 400-pound man faces a drug charge after Florida authorities plucked a bag of crack cocaine from his belly button, according to an arrest affidavit released Wednesday. Deputies stopped Gregory K. Vandyke, 47, of Sebastian, Fla. about 11:05 p.m. Tuesday after he ran a stop light. The man said he was coming from Vero Beach, but the deputy reported spotting him "coming off of 58th Court, a known drug area.” A sheriff's dog "alerted" on Vandyke's 2001 Ford Ranger, and investigators found a small amount of powder cocaine in the vehicle.” Vandyke was advised that bringing a controlled substance into the jail was an additional charge," the arrest affidavit states. "At that time Vandyke told me to check his belly button. “That, investigators report, is where Vandyke had squirreled away a small plastic baggy of crack. He later said he buys $20 to $30 of the drug one or two times a week and uses the crack to help with pain.
Little puppy:with his role in ‘being flushed the toilet by a little boy.’
He was eventually rescued by plumbers after firefighters were unable to rescue him. The drama unfolded after four-year-old Daniel Blair decided that his pet cocker spaniel “needed a wash” after getting muddy during a family walks. His mother Alison, 40, checked the drain outside – and heard the dog whimpering - so immediately called 999. But as the fire brigade was unable to reach him she called Dyno-Rod, a plumbing company. Plumbers used a special camera to locate the puppy – lying upside down in a pipe 20 yards away under a neighbor’s house. They then gently nudged him towards the nearest manhole cover where they were able to reach him and take him to safety. Miss Blair told the Daily Mirror: "Daniel told me it had got muddy so they put it in the toilet and pulled the chain to give it a wash. I ran into the bathroom but the dog was nowhere to be seen. I assumed it was dead. "I went into the garden, managed to lift up the drain cover and was amazed to hear him crying.” Miss Blair, of Northolt, Middlesex, called the fire brigade and RSPCA but neither could get him out. Daniel has since apologized. He said: "I had to give him a wash. I'm so, so sorry. I won't do it again."
this is a song which represents one of my interpretations of 'THE FALL' to me this basically represents the downfalls success and peak brings to peoples lives.
Stories can also be told in many different kinds of ways such as, music for example, some of the greatest performers and musicians express themselves through music, we find out about a lot of celebrities lives through music as well. Paintings also do the same; a trip to the national art gallery showed me this, they say picture say a thousand words and they really do. At my visit to the art gallery I saw many painting which didn’t really make sense to me, but we took the time to listen and understand and look for clues in within the pictures, great stories were unleashed. One of my favorites was the story of the dividing churches, shown in ‘The ambassadors’ painting by Hans Holbein.
During my research I have been looking at interesting and unique ways of telling stories. One of the most common is narration. Narration is a classic but I think a good way off telling stories, as it allows the audience to be able to see things how the writer or director intendeds, I say this because as an audience sometimes we make our own interpretations of things and can be misled or not get the true message of a film/story. One film which uses this technique (one of my favorites) is Frank Darabont’s the Shaw shank redemption. This film was narrated by Morgan Freeman; the narration in this film influenced many of my judgments towards situations as well as characters.
Overall I like this technique as it can make the audience feel a certain way, either for or against certain characters especially when narrated by main characters in the film. I also like this techniques as it makes a film so clear, especially for children, which is why this is also used in many children’s classical fairy tales or children’s movies, to make sure audiences understand
Another story telling techniques I like is direct address, although very similar to narration I think this one has different affects it allows the audience to feel part of a scene, or sometimes have connection with the actors, in the theater industry this is mostly seen in pantomimes, I have also researched that in that particular industry it particularly used by a great practioner’s, plays named Brecht. But in the film industry can also be seen in films, as well as cartoons such as Disney channel’s kuzco hers is an example. this is mostly highlighted at- 5.18 minutes
this is a little film i found on youtube, which i found as a quiet interesting way of making a silent film, this inspired a few ideas for my movie and showed me that my silent film can be produced from almost anything
