Gravity Trailer (2013)

the movie gravity is incredibly exciting, visually amazing film is about two astronauts floating in space. The title refers to the one big thing almost entirely absent from the film: it's like The Seventh Seal being called Levity or Last Tango in Paris Chastity. With gorgeous, tilting planet Earth far below in its shimmering blue aura, a bulkily suited spaceman and spacewoman veer, swoop and swerve in woozy slo-mo as they go about their business tethered to the station, like foetuses still attached to their umbilical cords. The movie's final sequence hints at some massive cosmic rebirth; a sense that these people are the first or last human beings in the universe, like something by Kubrick.

Why i chose media GCSE ? well ...

Why I Chose Media;

The main reason why I chose media GCSE is that I am interested in media it self and generally. I also like the careers that you can get with having a GCSE media because in year 9, I went to SKY headquarters and I became interested in media and I thought to myself; this is what I want to be when I am older. Also, I love the Media, everything about it; TV, movies, games etc.

Another reason why I chose it is because of views I heard about students who took this GCSE for year 9 (that is why I did not pick media GCSE for year 9) and they seem to be happy, enjoying, in-love with this subject. So I want to take media this year and I believe I can get a good grade – since my target grade is an A*. Talking about students, I asked some of my friends what they were going to pick, they chose media aswell and I thought since I love this subject; heard it was great and some of my friends are picking 

it, why not go for it.

The school provides good quality tools aswell. Such as cameras, Video recorders etc. So that i can work with. The teachers (Mr Matthews + Mr Harsley) are outstanding teachers who are enthusiastic and to be honest, good at their job.

 Also since the school is ‘outstanding’ and the best achieving secondary school in the borough Media shouldn’t be difficult for me. The pass rate I heard was 100% and I thought I can do well in that subject... and I will!

Uncharted 2 Review

by Abdifatah Basher




More than any other game to date, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune seems to define the PlayStation 3. Naughty Dog's 2007 jungle romp starring the one and only Nathan Drake gave gamers a taste of what it would be like to play as an acrobatically-inclined Indiana Jones. With stunning visuals (that still rank amongst the best in gaming today), a fantastically told story, great puzzles and high-octane gunplay, it's easily one of the best titles of this console generation.

Now Naughty Dog returns to the spotlight with uncharted 2 among thieves Both expectedly and amazingly, Naughty Dog has indeed bested Nate's first adventure and has created a sequel that is not only bigger and better in practically every way, but also packs a multiplayer component that could be released as its own separate, full-priced game and people would stand in line to hand over their cash.

Trying to remain as spoiler-free as possible, I'll just say that the story starts off about a year or so after the events of the first game and begins with Nate and a few fellow thieves working on finding Marco Polo's lost treasure fleet. Of course, things aren't quite that simple and the cast winds up going on a much grander adventure, one that takes them half-way around the world.

That's about as far as I want to go with the storyline, though some of the trailers out there actually reveal a little more than that. The important part here though is that this game doesn't just take place on a single island and instead changes locales a handful of times over the course of the adventure. The result is that the pacing feels better and faster, and even though you're technically doing the same sort of shooting, climbing and puzzle solving throughout the game, the different ways the scenes are presented gives Among Thieves a greater sense of gameplay variety than the original.

The great storytelling extends to the character development, which has been turned up a good notch or two. Almost everyone with more than two lines of dialogue has an interesting reason for doing what they're doing (though the main bad guy is just bad), and the way that everyone interacts with one another is realistic and interesting. Almost every character is unpredictable in some way, but not in a forced or unnatural manner.

The story itself twists and turns throughout the course of the game, as you might expect, and for the most part it's a solid tale. Nate and his pals go through a lot, so it does a good job of reeling you in and keeping you hooked until the end.

While I'd say the story is quite good overall, I wouldn't say that it's perfect. Without giving anything away, while most of the story has solid footing in real-world lore and legend, it does start to veer away from this at some point in a way that could have been handled better. Still, it's told very, very well through the use of fantastic cut scenes and acting, and will keep you guessing at what'll happen until the very end.
