My Summer

Films

 I spent a vast amount of time watching films. I watched a film called “X- Men First Class” which is a story based on a collective group of characters, aged between 18 - 40 years old and their journey in discovering and learning how to master their mutant skills. The reason for selecting this film is because it falls in the genre of action/adventure, which is something that interests me as I enjoy the fast pace scenes loaded with action and relevant non-digetic music. One of the quotes that I found funny was “Oh, Jesus! Gentlemen, this is why the CIA is no place for a woman.” i found it hilarious because men assume that women can't do much in fact because she lost her memory.  

Song

During my summer holidays I listened to a variety of songs but that was on constant replay was a song called,” Us Against The World” by Clement Marfo. I chose this song because it means a lot to me. I was able to connect to the artist, in this song he uses lyrics such as “I'm just speaking my mind, any solution on what to do

Please don't shoot the messenger, Mr prime minister” and another lyric that I  like is “Treat others how you like to be treated, treat people the same

Treat everybody even, as long you are breathing

Everyday is an achievement”  I chose these lyrics because they align with my personal views.

TV programmes

I watched a lot of TV programmes but the one that I watched the most, was the World cup. I chose the World Cup because it is a well-known event which unites several nationalities together plus the genre is sport, which is a major bonus for me. I appreciated the use of good camera shots, especially those that included the fans.  I saw the reactions of the fans entertaining and funny  . The World Cup was very entertaining and exciting. Another TV show that I had watched was called Match Of The Day, I liked this TV show because it shows highlights about the football matches and tells you information about the upcoming football matches.

Websites 

I spent most of my time browsing the internet, through Google as I found it to be an efficient search engine, and be watching a variety of YouTube videos. I find YouTube to be a great source of entertainment as you can go from watching a video of talking cats to a tutorial on how to do the latest dance. YouTube is a great platform to watch what other people are getting up to in the world and plus its free!,another website that i used was Wikipedia because its an excellent and resourceful site were i can find information about the world.

Story

The story that I  had heard about was when, Germany beat Brazil (7-1) this was a horrific lost to the Brazilians because they were the ones, who hosted the world cup  this year. What was most disturbing was the metro article with the “Brazil fans torture themselves by creating never-ending Germany vs. Brazil” title, which was about a fan made website imagining what the score would have been like if the match continued. I found this article interesting because it was the Brazilian fans who created this site instead of the German fans. It is astonishing that the Brazilian fans were not happy with the final score but went on to create a site dedicated to the defeat of their football players.
