Is there enough AFRICAN AMERICAN (Black) roles in hollywood?!

Hello friends, fan and family, 
I was asked a question and I thought that it would be good to add you all in on that question and the other questions that I was asked. Okay, this is a hard question within itself and because of the other questions and also it is directly dealing with major issues. Ah, walking that unbiased line is not an easy thing and in some cases it is just impossible. I am going to have the question(s) then my answers and some of my answers maybe simple and other may not.
          When casting certain roles do you think that skills or lack of skills are the reason that a lot of black actors/actresses are not being cased? Okay, skills does and should play a role in choosing your actor/actress. But on the other hand, throughout the years skills or the lack thereof is the excuse given when no opportunity was given that black actors/actresses was not capable of being good or even great actors/actresses. We now know that this is not true but this chance took years to come into being.
            Okay, next question. Is there is enough African American roles (Black) roles in Hollywood? I am going to say no but I also believe that the roles are going to grow if it hasn't started growing already. I remember watch the older TV shows when African American people could only play certain roles. Even though I think that things are improving and that we have came along way I still believe that we have along way to go.                Okay, next question. Why there are not much famous and rich black/African American actors and actresses in the USA? I think that the number of great and awesome actors and actresses has increased over the years and I think that it will continue to increase. But with that being said I also think that the diversity in the roles should increase as well. I believe that it will increase I just hope that I am right in this. I will always think that skills and the lack thereof is always going to play a part and it should. However, I still think that there is a lot of room for improvements.
            Hollywood is growing and getting better at including African Americans and minorities in the movies and TV shows. I am really happy to see this and we are able to enjoy these awesome and great actors and actress in movies, TV shows and stage. I can only hope and pray that things improve and continue to improve.
            How many black "A"  listers do Hollywood have in America that are Americans and then from around the world? Ah, that is a question that I really don't know but I do believe that the number is increasing and that is a good thing if I am right. I believe that Hollywood will grow and come to love it's diversity as time passes and all minorities will benefit from Hollywood embracing diversity.
            Do you see Hollywood growing in it's diversity that includes African American actors and actresses as well as other minorities? Yes, I think that America is growing and in as such so is Hollywood in its diversity and inclusion of African Americans and other minorities. There is always going to be extremest from one side to the other and we all know this to be true. However, as long as we endeavor to be better and get better and improve then we will be alright and I believe this to be true of all people of this great nation and around the world.   

Movie Review, WarCraft, was it good?!

Hello friend, fans, and family, 
         The on going question that I keep getting is what do I think about the Warcraft movie? Well, before I go into all of that I will tell you of what a lot of other people think about the movie. Okay, so a lot of people said that they thought that it was going to be better than what they seen and that they think that it played too much into the video game and not enough on it's own rendition of the game. They even go on to say that they think that if the direct was allowed to do what he does best then this movie would have been a lot better than it was. Now, here is what I think of the movie. I think that it was GREAT! Now, don't get me wrong I think that there is a lot of room for improvements but come on you got to give them credit for doing so well. The special effects and/or CG was great even better in some cases than the real non-CG actors. Not that the acting was bad, I am not saying that. What I am saying is that CG has come a very long ways, I mean just think about it. Ten years or even in the 90's the CG would be and was for the most part horrible but we at that time was just happy to see the tech on the big screen. I for one think that they are going to continue to improve not just in CG I mean the movie. I think that the movie-makers of the Warcraft movie will continue to improve and it will just get better as the do more. This is what I think. I would like to know what you think about it? And of course I know that the CG will continue and get better as time goes on look at what they have done. So, in lieu of all of that, yes, there is room for improvements and I think that they will improve over time. For Warcraft players you must be stoked I know that I am and for those of you who are lost and is not fully understand and appreciating it awesome movie please, check out some YouTube videos about Warcraft and this awesome movie. There is a lot to take in but I know that this movie can very easily be in the top ten for awesome movies especially when the next few movies comes out over the next few years or so. Well, that is all that I had to talk about today y'all. 

A new JB&I Show should be coming out in the next few weeks be sure to check us out like and comment as we will be giving away prizes but you must like, subscribe and comment. Peace and much love to you. Also, below I have my fiverr gigs check it out and if you can use my services ... hire me, hehe.

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
If you have not seen this movie then you need to go and see it because it is awesome. It is already in theaters now and I think that it is worth watching. It just came out so you have time to see it in the theater. What's the movie?! Well, I am glad that you asked. It is "Finding Dory" This is a children's movie but I love it and I think that you will like it too. If you need some laughs and just want to enjoy a good and happy movie then Finding Dory is the movie for you. I am not going to go into all of the details because I don't want to spoil it for you. Instead I just included the trailer at the bottom of this blog. You can see it on YouTube and/or down at the bottom here. Just encase you don't know Dory is the forgetful fish from Finding Nemo. I think that she contributed to a lot of laughing and such from that movie and now she has her own movie. Way to go Dory!

You got to checkout this website that I came across. They are called CONTAINEASY! As most of you can relate, while there are plenty of great sandwich bags, the containers for these sandwiches leave much to be desired.
The key features of the ContainEasy are the ease of use and no need for a lid. For anyone who likes to have their things organized, this is the best no fuss, no muss option.
The container has a finger channel, making it easy to grab the sandwich (or any item inside). It is also designed to hold sandwiches that are wrapped, so no food is in direct contact with the container, making it easy to reuse and clean. 
Everyone at some point or another has pulled his/her sandwich out of their lunch bag, only to realize it has been crushed. Well not anymore! Get ContainEasy for your family today!

            Another film that I want to talk about is "The Secret Life Of Pets" This looks like a really good movie. I am excited to see another animated comedy film. I have also included the trailer below for your enjoyment you can also find the trailer on YouTube and/or different versions of the Trailer. This one I have never seen before and basically it is about the dog Max and the new addition to the family his adopted brother Duke also a dog, and the trouble that they get into. From the trailer it looks like it is going to be a really good comedy movie (animated). They are also some awesome comedians as some of the voices such as Eric Stonestreet and Kevin Heart. I know that this film is worth watching so check it out. The opening day is set for: July 08, 2016 as of right now.

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
I have great news! The JB&I Show is going to be doing two interviews, yes that is right, two! The reason why I am so excited they are doing and/or had done these movies in San Diego, Ca. Movie shorts are awesome and it takes a lot of work to pull something like that off. The first interview I am going to try and schedule it with the writer of the the movie short, Justin Little. His movie is called the Forgotten. Click the link to see the IMDB page. I think that it looks great and I am looking forward to seeing the finish work. The director is Randy Kent and he won some awards, like the Silver Ace award in 2011. Justin have done some movies besides the Forgotten like Ghostline and the Kult. so I am looking forward to seeing his work because I know that it is going to be awesome. If for whatever reason you are not familiar with the JB&I Show I have one of our show at the bottom of the blog so that you can see the latest JB&I Show.

Now I want to talk about Star Trek Beyond, it looks good and I think that it will be. Since the reboot kind of reset everything so they can go in any direct that they see fit. What do you think? The movie comes out this month on the 22nd. July 22, 2016. The action looks good and lets face it they never disappoint especially with the action scenes. I have always been pleasantly surprised with everything and you know that I would not wait to voice my thoughts if it did not measure up to what I think that it should. I honestly can say that I think that all of the Star Trek movies has been really good so far.

I am going to place the trailer at the bottom of this blog so that you can see for yourself how awesome this movies is going to be. I was just waiting for this movie to be redone. I was hoping that it would have better special effects than the first so I was hoping at the time that some years passed by and/or we had major breakthroughs in CG tech.

Hello friends, fans and family, 
Now, ah, when I first saw this trailer I had to see it again. This is going to be a very funny movie. As you all know Tyler Perry is the director and he also stars in the movie not only as Madea but also as other characters in the movie as well. I think that this movie has everything to be another big hit by Tyler Perry. ATL, Atlanta has grown as a movie making super power I think that they have even surpassed LA and on the way of passing Hollywood itself. Only time will tell but I believe that they are going to be an awesome filmmakers paradise for years to come.  The movie is scedule to be released in October 21, 2016. Tyler Perry also wrote the script. The rest of the cast includes Bella Thorne, Cassi Davis, Patrice Lovely, Andre Hall, Yousef Erakat, Lexy Panterra, Diamond White, Liza Koshy, Brock O’Hurn, Jimmy Tatro, JC Caylen, Kian Lawley and Mike Tornabene
. I for one think that it is worth watching. They are so many Tyler Perry movies to choose from and I think that all of them are awesome. I just know that his latest one that is coming out this year is going to be awesome as well. Let me tell you, they are a few movie directors, actors, filmmakers that when I see there name on the list of cast and/or crew I know that it is going to be a good movie. I have included the trailer at the bottom of this blog for you to enjoy. If you have any comments questions and so on I would like to hear from you. 


5 Mood boosting books!

Hey guys, a bit of light reading therapy for you! Yes that's a thing now in the UK & USA! Cool huh?

1) MORT - TERRY PRACHETT

Written in a light and humorous style (as are all of Prachett's books) the story is about a character call Mort. The story line is based on the idea that death comes to everyone. But when death came to Mort there was a hug plot twist! He offered him a job! This crazy journey see's Mort become death's apprentice and really enjoying the use of the company horse provided! (Not quite a Ferrari but but access to a horse is still totally cool!). Despite it's basis on death readers have describe this book as hilarious, light and uplifting. (And horse or not we all need a bit of an uplift from time to time!)  Perhaps we all need to read this book and gain Terry's amazing and quirky insight into life! An anonymous reader said in a review " Any time I was feeling down, I would re-read this book. It’s hilarious – and the book that kick-started my love of Sir Terry." So why not give it a go! We do often end up finding please in unlikely places!

2) HOW TO BE A WOMAN - CAITLIN MORAN

I myself have read this book! It is.... BRILLIANT! Especially for young women. It gives and insight into the realities of what female life is really like from the hilarious and comic voice of comedian Caitlin Moran. With her witty laid back charm and feminist approach, Moran tackles big life questions such as: Should we use Botox? Do men secretly hate us? And why does everyone ask you when you’re going to have a baby? A reader review described the book as " Very funny, reassuring and potentially transformative – a book that reinvigorated the young feminist movement. I’d really recommend it for its frank honesty about female rites of passage, from leg-shaving and periods to childbirth and motherhood." 

3) LIFE'S TO SHORT - QUICK READS
Feeling rushed for time? No problem! This book contains short stories from a variety of authors. Inspirational, funny and full of emotion. Bantam Books really want's every reader to indulge their sense of fun and human emotion, however much time they had to read. Read one on the commute to work, waiting for a class to start, what ever floats your boat really! 

4) WHY DO GOLF BALLS HAVE DIMPLES? - WENDY SADLER
Great question right!! Scientist Wendy Sadler has the answers in her book of Weird and Wonderful facts. And you know the saying.... Knowledge is the true happiness! Wendy gives the scientific answers to life's intriguing and unusual questions. For example: How lost can I get with a sat nav? Yes Wendy, I'd love to know that!!! Grrrr...

5) THE 10 KEY'S TO SUCESS - JOHN BIRD
Yes.... another self help book. But hey it comes very highly recommended. Personal development has been shown to be a huge happiness booster, so if this one has been found to be effective why not give it a try! Truly motivational. This book help you to think about deciding what you want, working out what is important to you and then going out to grabbing it by the you know whats!!!

Top 5 TV Shows We Can REALLY Learn From

0
0
Picture
1) HOUSE: 
Hugh Laurie stars as House, the teaching hospital's secret weapon. Unexplained illnesses and ridiculous and interesting medical complaints all find their way to Houses diagnostics department. To find the answers to these crazy medical mysteries the diagnostic team often go to the patients homes to investigate (really not advisable - this isn't the bit we can learn from!). The show follows a very predictable format in each episode, BUT.... the medical information and the depth of the characters and their relationships in this show make it a truly wonderful and educational experience! Aside from general medical knowledge, Hugh Laurie's character in particular, allows us to learn about addiction, chronic pain and his own, but often self-denied people skills and social issues. This is perhaps why in 2008 House was the most watched TV show around the world.  


2) MYTHBUSTERS
This comical but highly scientific TV program sees the Mythbuster's team testing ... you guessed it! Myths! They do this to see if they are in fact, true of false. The program is highly educational and supposedly supplies as much fun watching the presenters trying to set up experiments as factual knowledge!  

3) TIME WARP
Continuing with the scientific theme, Time warp show events such as bubbles popping in slow motion! Weird, until you realise the point behind it. The idea is that it allows the presenters to slow down, and actually show and explain the scientific process happening that would normally take place too quickly to see in the real world.


4) ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK
OK, SO THIS IS NOT A SHOW YOU WOULD EXPECT TO LEARN FROM. But this show tackles some real social issues. Ones that were not talked about much in mainstream TV until Orange Is The New Black came out. To see a movie about lesbians, you would have had to search for dodgy underfunded and low scale promoted movies in a 'gay' category on a dark corner of the web. But not any more this highly recognizable series puts same sex relationships in the spot light. Prison culture and that idea that prisoners are not just criminals, but people with lives, emotions and back stories are also things that are hugely represented in this series. Who knew from a chic flick series you could learn so much!


5) CBS SPORTS NETWORK
Again not an obvious candidate! However, watching not just CBS Sports Network, but sport and commentary in general, is really meant to be great for your health and social skills! So, even if you're not keen on sports, but are a bit socially anxious, watching a quick round up of a game could give you the common talking material needed to strike up those conversations with people. For those who really are interested in sports, regular viewing can apparently help subconsciously with your own sporting skills, motivation and frame of mind. Want to know more about this? Look up the psychology of social learning theory guys (the idea we learn behaviors and actions through imitation)!

How to plan your own open air movie night!

Picture
Summer is slowly creeping by. And before it ends what better activity to do on a warm summers night, than an open air movie night with all your friends and family! Down below we've got some step by step ideas for planning your perfect night.  

PRE-EVENT:

The first step to any movie night is obvious! Pick a movie! Do you want something classic and nostalgic or something newly released, cool and cutting edge Decide on your theme for the night! 

Once you've got a movie it's time to send out the invites!! Decide on the number of attendees for your event (sounds very posh!). If you have a small back garden perhaps limit your VIP guest list to 15 people. If you have a larger garden by all means, go all out and invite as many as you can fit or feel you can cope with! The more the merrier! More people creates a great movie theatre like atmosphere.

SETTING UP YOUR EVENT:

You could haul a massive flat screen TV out in to the garden. However, movie nights are way more atmospheric if you can get hold of a projector. Ask around and see if any one you know has one you can borrow, because your movie night will be all the more amazing for it! As an accessory to the projector, a simple white cloth pinned to or hung over a fence or wall creates a great movie screen.

Once you've set up the technical logistics of the movie projection, it's all about making your garden homely and cosy! THIS is your atmosphere, so if you can, really go to town on this! You want somewhere people will feel really comfortable watching a film for a couple of hours, no matter if they have a drink in their hand, or a sleepy but wide eyed watching child in their arms. 
For seating put out lots of bean bags, cushions, blankets, and some comfy padded chair for those who can't get down to sit on the floor. Blankets are also really great for an extra comfort factor. They allow people to cuddle up and couples to snuggle etc (I know gross right! But couples like that sort of thing at movies!)

If you want to add another great touch to your movie night, perhaps purchase a chalk board movie sign and put it in a place where it will be seen. Write on it the name of the film and the showing time. This way guest can see when to expect the movie and plan things like getting food e.t.c around it.

Finally, CONCESSIONS! Everyones favourite bit! These can be done really simply. Just set up a table, make some popcorn in bulk and put some HUGE buckets/ bowls of it on the table. Get some cute brown paper bag for people to scoop it into. Also set out some little shakers with different toppings in so that people can add their favourite. Drinks can be bought at the store and set out on their own table. If you want some super awesome cups a little trick is to put one plastic cup inside the other..... with a glow stick curled up in between. This means your cups now glow in the dark! A cool effect for your movie night!

I hope you enjoyed this article. Keep following guys and have fun with your summer nights!

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
The Fire Hawk here, ya know me?! Isaac (Fire Hawk) Middleton baby! Hahaha, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to check me out. If you have been following me on my face book page then you know that I am looking for representation in acting. I came across some awesome companies whom I would love to be a part of. I have submitted numerous amount of application submissions in hopes that one of these awesome companies would represent me. (Hope)

              Now I know that my work is not over once I get representation, of course I know that. I will continue to work hard and try to get jobs on my own but it always helps to have an awesome team to support me in this effort. I am just imagining right now because I don't have representation yet but I am thinking positive and I believe that I will find an awesome company to represent me. It is a lot of hard work and dedication and I just know that I have what it takes. Also, thanks to you all who support me and give me encouragement I am really happy for that as well. Someone once mentioned that if I am the Fire Hawk then they are the Fire Hawk Nation, I thought this was awesome. That made me feel really good and thank you for that my friend. (Faith)

            I have seen a lot of actors give up on there dream and throw in the towel. The sad part in all of this is that they don't even try. I remembered something that Terry Crews said when he was talking to his face book fans, yes, I like Terry Crews, he is awesome. He mentioned about NEVER GIVING UP and giving it all you got. I never forgot those words of encouragement. In addition to the awesome Terry Crews a lot of friends of mine also ask me if I had given up and at the time I was in the process of doing just that so those words of encouragement came at the right time. My friends, my family and my fans also encouraged me. I have one notable fan and I am happy to have that person as my fan. Thank you all for believing in me. I cherish each and everyone of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much. You all are awesome. I know that it sounds like I think that I have already made it but please understand that I am expressing that attitude that I believe that I need to be successful. I believe that I must believe in myself and you and God to be successful. Not to mention, give credit and honor where it is due, namely God and you all. 

            I want to say some words of encouragement to you all. Peruse your dreams, whether it is being the next MMA champion or the next Mayor and/or whatever you decide. You might have to go to school for it and/or do another class and/or travel a bit. I believe in you. You can do it. I have failed many times over, and if it was not for someone pushing me on and saying that I can do it and telling me not to give up and telling me never give up I would have given up along time ago. So, I say to you my friends, fans, and family, don't ever give up. You can do it. Don't get me wrong I know that I have a very long way to go but I am trying to describe an attitude that you need to succeed, with honor, respect and courage, not to mention commitment, discipline and determination. 

            I am a Christian so I always, always, always include God in all that I do. Thank you again y'all. You all are awesome and I am happy to have you all supporting me as I endeavor to be awesome in acting and entertainment. I have hit many pit falls over the years and even homelessness for a time but I push on and I give that credit to God and to you all my friends, fans, and family. Thank you so much. I will continue to try and to keep you all posted on how my quest is going and when I land that job and so on you best believe that I am going to celebrate and I will try to include as many of you as I can. Even if is it just in snap chat, something that I just learned about, hahaha, and/or face book and I am also going to update my Myspace.com page as well. Enjoy your day and have a great rest of your week. I must say again, thank  you! (Love)

We are all psyched about the new release of Ghostbusters staring the amazing and hilarious Melissa McCarthy! The movie was released on the 11th of July in the UK. Later on it was released on the 15th of July in the United States. Now that we have all had a bit of time to go see the film, we though it was time to let you in on some of the trivia! The behind the scenes sneak peak, the fandom fuel, the celerity and tech gossip! We have got this all in store for you guys in this post! 

So, what is behind the 1 hour 56 minutes of screen time and an estimated budget of $144,000,000? 

Well first up! You know that great new headquarters the girls have got? That is not a man made set, it's a real location. That's right, take a trip to 1 Harrison Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts and you can see the new ghostbuster headquarters for yourself! (spooky right?)   

And that creepy guy, Rowan, who possesses Melissa McCarthy's character. He appeares to have access to her memories. We can infer this because he knew the identity of the other Ghostbusters. However, in a later scene, Rowan claims to not have known Kevin's name (the sexy receptionist who's body he is inhabiting at the time) until it is mentioned to him. (I know what your thinking. Who could have forgot that guys' name?! )   

Continuity is apparently not continuous in this film! Throughout the film there is a parking lot next to the ghost busters head quarters ........ except for in one scene! Watch Carefully!   

Just a little cross entertainment link: the hotel the ghosts appear at is the same hotel used in the TV series American Horror Story. I REALLY wouldn't want to stay there!   

Love a bit of Emma Stone? Well, she wasn't so keen on this project. The actress turned down a contract to play one of these ghost busting girls. Which girl, we don't know! All that we know is that her refusal was due to her reluctance to take on another series of films after the Amazing Spiderman series. Other actors considered for a role by director Paul Feig included Jennifer Lawrence and Rebel Wilson.   

Wooaaahhh that's allot! And those are only the things we have time for today! I bet you guys didn't know all of that! We all love a bit of trivia, so if you want great behind the scene facts on other movies keep up to date with us here.

A Simple Guide to Making The Most Of Spotify

Most of us have used Spotify. It is the world's top music streaming service. Second to Deezer. However, despite this, there are tonnes of tricks and tips most people don't even know! You can use these handy little tricks to make your Spotify experience even better, and unlock Spotify's true potential!

First up, I am sure you all have TONNES of playlists. Often these are listed one after other on the sidebar. This side-bar of playlist seems to go on forever. This means a lot of your playlists and favourite songs, get stuck in a sea of buried, hard to find music. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack! But you can actually organise your playlists into groups! It's actually really easy to do! In the Spotify desktop head to File, New Playlist Folder or use the shortcut Control + Shift + N to make a new group. It really is that simple! This is a great step to easily organise your cluttered sea of Spotify playlists.

Within Spotify, the service actually has its own apps! 'App finder' can be found in the left-hand bar. There really are some great hidden gems in this section. All the apps are designed to help you find new music, tastes e.t.c. Apps like 'Moodagent'. Moodagent lets you pick the mood you are in, and it will then create a playlist that goes along with it. Furthermore, 'TuneWiki' will sync lyrics with the song you are listening to. (Anybody up for some karaoke?!)

Do you and your friends share similar tastes in music? Are you are looking for a way to combine all your songs together, a way that allows you to all listen to the same playlist? Spotify has a cool feature in line for you! Collaborate is the name of that mysterious '...' button that none of us knows the meaning behind. Clicking this button allows you to started setting up a collaborative playlist that all members can add to or listen to. One that all members can listen to and contribute to.

Have you ever accidentally deleted a great playlist? There is a solution for that too! Log into your online Spotify account and selected the 'Recover playlists' option.

'Spotify Radio' is the last handy feature we're going to talk about today. Some days you just don't know what you want to listen to, maybe you've run out of inspiration. When that happens to you, select “Radio” from the left-hand panel, hit “Create a new station” and pick an artist, album, or playlist that you like. Spotify will then pick other, similar tracks from its library to play. Bam, an inspirationless day just became inspired!

I hope you found out something new today!

​Happy listening guys!

Unknown Facts About Books REVEALED!

Have you ever one consider books boring? Consider no more! Today we have a bunch of crazy, unknown facts for you about......you guessed it..... books! From the strange, to the bizarre, to the completely incomprehensible. We have it all in store for you. Let's kick off our list of facts:

1) How much do you think the most expensive book in the world costs? The answer is roughly $151,946,000. Perhaps, for this kind of money you would expect a chunky state-of-the-art encyclopaedia. However, the length of this book comes in at just 13 pages!

2) How difficult do you think it is to sell a book and make a living from it? We'll give you the statistics and you can work out what you think for yourself. Out of the books that sell at least one copy in the US, only 2% go on to sell more than 5,000 copies!

3) Who came up with the term 'book'? Well, the first instance ever recorded of someone using the term 'book' was actually in a book itself. The book was written by Sir Alfred The Great.

4) Do you really love the smell of new books? Perhaps you have a case of bibliosmia. Bibliosmia is the term given to the enjoyment of smelling books. There is a new hobby for you!

5) One author, Stephen King, was mistaken for a vandal. Was he spray painting? No. He made an unexpected visit to an Australian book store. He was suspected when he started signing copies of books.

6) The longest sentence ever written in a book was an amazing 823 words long.

7) On average, the country with the most amount of books read each year per person is Iceland.

8) The widely know book '50 Shades Of Grey' was not originally published in book form. It was published on a fan website.

9) Our world is constantly developing, and it's people are consequently always learning and developing. However, one fifth of adults around the world can not read or write.

10) Not so lovable Harry Potter villein Voldemort, has so widely been known as 'one who must not be named'. However, this could be because J. K Rowling was so tired of us all pronouncing his name wrong. She has reviled that since our first introduction in 1997 we have all be mispronouncing his name. The 't' at the end of Voldemort is apparently silent.

I hope you learnt some things from this article. Stay tuned, there is more mind boggling and interesting content coming your way.

Home Film Production

Home films are fun. They are also something a lot of us have wanted to do at some point. However, we also all know that buzz feeling after catching what we think will be a great scene, then watching it back on your laptop and feeling deflated at the poor quality and cheesiness we've ended up with.

There are things you can do about such problems. This article aims to give you some simple yet effective tips. These hopefully will help you get great quality, content, and get those cool movie projects off your back burner, back into your reality. Let's fire up you movie making motivation!

1) The first tip is really simple. Get your hands on a tripod. A tripod allows you to keep you camera steady. This reduces and practically stops the 'shaky hand syndrome' we all seem to suffer from when filming. You can also pan shots to follow action/cut to another area / cut to another scene. Your film will be all the better using a tripod. Therefore, if you take anything away from this article, let it be this tip!

2) Most feature films begin with what is called an establishing shot. It’s a shot of the location where the action is going to take place. This create's initial context for the viewers. Aka, setting the scene.

3) Use real locations. This one is self-explanatory. One of the biggest problems with home movies is that people attempt to set up artificial scenes. However, big feature films use real filming locations. Basically, real locations are more realistic! They look smoother, more believable and less set up. Yes, it is more tricky to get permission, set up and get perfect shots with a real location. But you get out what you put in. Take pride in your work, get passionate and get professional. The effort you put in will show in your work.

4) Closer shots are generally better. Following your initial establishing shots of course. Once you have set the scene fill the camcorder window with the action. Get as close and seems comfortable, and don't be afraid to experiment. This cuts out background distractions for the audience.

5) Cut between medium and close up shots. This creates 'visual action'. It keeps interest up in your audience. Shoot the same scene but from different camcorders at different angles and depths to cut between in the editing stage. For example, somebody is opening a present her friend has given her. Do a medium shot of the person being handing the present and beginning to open it. Then cut to a close shot of her hand opening the present. Finally, cut back out to the medium range shot to capture her reaction and then continue the story.

Get filming. Get experimenting and capturing. And remember, the best things often come from experimenting and are not necessarily the things you think are going to work. Take risks.

Bridget Jone's Baby Behind The Scenes
I'm sure in the media recently you will have seen tonnes of coverage on the new Bridget Jone's
Baby Movie. We have a slightly different take for you today. We are going to delve into the movie's
trivia! Trivia is honestly, I believe, the best thing. Sure, you see the movie and you feel the way the
director wants you to feel. However, there is always something interesting about learning about the
things that they keep quiet, or that haven't made it into the media about your favourite movies.

So what is the storyline? Bridget's focus on single life and her career is interrupted when she finds herself pregnant, but theres one more issue ... she can only be fifty percent sure of the identity of her baby's father. Not ideal! In this 15 rated movie we join Bridget for 2 hours and 2 minutes of her usual fun, embarrassing, but heart warming antics.
So, what about our gorgeous national favourite Colin Firth? What does he have to say about the new movie? According to Colin Firth, his new rival, Patrick Dempsey's Jack Qwant, is more intimidating than his former opponent, Hugh Grant's Daniel Cleaver. Don't worry Colin! We all still love you! Unfortunately Hugh Grant will not be returning.
Just like the previous movies, you would perhaps expect the film to be an adaptation of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones Novels. However, it is not. It is in fact an adaption of a screen play. One which Fielding wrote with David Nicholls.

Although this is the 3rd movie, the events of the film take place before author Helen Fielding's 3rd novel "Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy". It's kind of like a stepping stone for Bridget.
How is this for girl power? The 'Bridget Jones' series is the first movie trilogy directed exclusively by female directors. This is not the only first for the Bridget Jones Series. Renée Zellweger premiered the first trailer on Ellen. It also marked her first ever appearance on the talk-show. We often encounter differences between American and British versions of a film. In the international trailer, a co-worker of Bridget holds up a sign that says "Baby on board". In the UK trailer the same sign says "Up the duff".
As well as differences between cultures, this movie also differs from the others in it's series in a key way. Jone's diary has been replaced with an iPad!

​How was that for a Bridget Jones update? Let us know what you think in the comments below!




Sarah Paulson BIGGEST GIGS

                             American Horror Story Actress (Sarah Paulson) BIGGEST GIGS                            


Sarah Paulson is an actress that over the last few years has increasingly gained popularity. So we think she deserves her own blog post. A post that partially focuses on her biggest successes as an actor.


Paulson began working as an actress right out of high school. AllMovies.com has described here as 'A lovely and talented actress with a knack for both comedy and drama.'


She made her television debut in a 1994 episode of the series Law & Order.


In 1995, she was cast as Merlyn Temple, a dead woman who can communicate with her living brother, on the fantasy series American Gothic; while the show only ran for a year, it developed a devoted cult following. This however really got Paulson known in the industry.


She had a brilliant opportunity to work with some big celebrities when she landed a supporting role in the Mel Gibson/Helen Hunt movie What Women Want. We all know this movie.


So, why is American Horror Story her biggest gig yet? In short, it has hooked the world's young people. It is an anthology series that centers on different characters and locations, including a house with a murderous past, an insane asylum, a witch coven, a freak show, and an enigmatic hotel. The show allows their cast to play a different character in each series. Often allowing them to highlight different acting skills.


On September 2nd, 2014, Ryan Murphy (creator) announced to the public that "All the seasons are connected to each other in somehow, someway." Hopefully that isn't too much of a spoiler for you!


Helen seems to be a great role model. The following is directly quoted from herself.


'If my life choices had to be predicated based on what was expected of me from a community on either side, that's going to make me feel really straitjacketed, and I don't want to feel that.'


Defiantly linked to the asylum scenario in American Horror Story!! But perhaps more obviously a great life lesson for all of us from a great actress.


Perhaps another great personal quote: 'I like to work and I like to work with great actors and great directors and great material - and there isn't a ton of it.' Paulson has got wealths to teach us as a person and as an actor.


Don't forget if you like this, we have plenty more coming your way. Don't forget to follow us and keep up t
o day.
