Magazine article thing

This week, we were joined by Joe, Ben, Tyler and Brody from multi-award winning band Niil.

FRANCES: So how does it feel to be the biggest grunge band of the modern era?

JOE: Well to be honest, I don't really enjoy the fame.

FRANCES: Really?

JOE: Yeah, I mean I enjoyed being the typical guy from Seattle before this. Now I can't get a moments silence because you guys are always after me for interviews.

FRANCES: What do you think of interviews?

JOE: Didn't you hear me before we began? (laughs) They asked me if I wanted to do one. I said f*** no (laughs).


FRANCES: What's your favourite song on the new album?

BEN: I like 'social withdrawal'.

DANTE: 'Mute' is my favourite from the album because it's heavy as sh**.

MADICHI: 'Depressed respiration'.

JOE: 'Deyki's Insomnia' because it took me five minutes to write.


FRANCES: Did any bands influence you for this album?

DANTE: Yeah I'm a big fan of Bring me The Horizon.

JOE: Yeah they're cool, and theres always bands like Nirvana and The Pixies who set the tone for this sort of music, you know? Oh and The Meat Puppets is another one.


FRANCES: Would you say that you're a spokesperson for a generation?

JOE: I'm a spokesperson for myself. It's a coincidence that there's a bunch of people who relate and care about what I have to say. It's scary at times because I don't want to be a f**king spokesperson.


FRANCES: Before we go, is there any advice you'd like to give to the younger audience?

MADICHI: Keep doing drugs, but not hard ones, oh and keep buying our music so I can get rid of that piss stained mattress of mine.

DANTE: Yeah, go marijuana.

JOE: I just said I don't want to be a spokesperson.

The Bridge season 1, 2 and 3 analysis (s3 ep1)

In season 1 and 2 of The Bridge, there is a lot of character building and it sets the tone for the rest of the series. Many conventions that are in ep1 of season 1 remain the same in season 3. For example, one of the most noticeable things straight away is the eeriness of the music. This also compliments the dark lighting that is essentially used throughout the whole show. It makes the show feel very dark. For example, in season 3 episode 1, there is a scene where the lighting in the flaming is all dark, but in the corner of the screen there is blue from a police car bleeding into the frame. The main character of the show, Saga, is a female detective who is very straight to the point. It is suggested that she has autism, though not explicitly mentioned.  In season 1, this is contrasted with the Danish male detective who seems to have more empathy and social skills.  In season 3, Saga is contrasted with the female Danish detective who seems to be more confident with dealing wit...

Music video statement of aims and intentions

Aims and Intentions I aim to create a music video using my own instrumental track with guitar and potentially a rhythm instrument too. I also plan on using a grunge or Japanese metal track for the vocals in my song from a freelance website or Soundcloud (if i choose to add vocals after the final track is made). The audio in my music video will be very well thought of and will match the visuals on the screen. I will accomplish this by adding mis-en-scene that matches the lyrics and edit it to the cuts in the music. I will take inspiration from existing grunge music videos such as Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box and a few Steel Panther videos. This inspires me because it is unorthodox and different to typical corporate music videos released in this century, which just include basic narratives and people with as much clothes off as YouTube allows. I plan on using one or two people in my video as characters in a short narrative plot. I will use Jacob and Ben. My plot will be depres...

How far does Captain Fantastic demonstrate a constant shift between passive and active spectatorship?

>an understanding of spectatorship in terms of the level and type of engagement a film elicits in the spectator including, for example, concepts such as identification, alignment and allegiance > how key features of the film, such as camera position, editing, sound, performance or aspects of narrative and genre can create passive and active responses > some recognition of the role of viewing context and spectators' social and cultural background in influencing spectator response > a recognition that spectators are likely to shift between passive and active viewing.
