In the morning we discussed the meaning of 'rosebud' from the film Citizen Kane. We reached a conclusion that it represented his childhood. We also disscussed each of our favourite films, I picked,' The Passion of the Christ.' This is because i think the film gave a good potrayal of Jesus' last 12 hours. When i watched it in the cinema, i was attached, it made me tearful sometimes especially at the whippings scene. Having a christian up bringing, this film really connected with me.

In the afternoon we watched, 'broadcast news'(1988). It was interesting to see how that it potrayed american news as all about how good the reporters looked and how fake they all were.

The film was funny at parts but over all i didn't enjoy the movie because.....

Technical Fundamentals, It was the first time i met Ray Tallan. Nice guy but doesn't stand for nonsense was my first impression of him. We learned about the tripod today, how to assemble and dissemble(i enjoyed that part). I believe i am a practical learner. We learned about the tripod components.  We also had an introduction to the Sony DSR570. I felt that Ray was spitting out way to much information about the camera, but i suppose he will go over them in detail as the term goes on.

Today, I watched Citizen Kane, I enjoyed it but I wouldn't say it was the best movie I have ever watched, I think it was too long and there were some scenes that shouldn't of been there in my opinion. The film was about a group of publishers trying to find out the meaning of the last words of Charles Foster Kane the millionaire newspaper tycoon: 'rosebud.' Rosebud is a sense of home as a child, area of safety. I am unclear but i have researched the word and that's what I've came up with.
