Hi, My name is Matthew

A few things about me:

1) I love performing arts and acting, and have been involved in a lot of shows including Les Miserables, West side story and Dick Whittington. I have been acting ever since I was in year 9 when I was 14 years old. My strongest aspect is musical theatre.

2) I enjoy listening to rock/alternative music in my spare time or if I'm doing work. A couple of my favourite artists are Don Broco, The Hunna, Tom Walker and Nickelback.

3) I really enjoy watching war films, for example one of my favourite films is Hacksaw Ridge. I also like Black Hawk Down and Saving private Ryan (My favourite actor Tom Hanks plays one of the main characters)

4) I love to play football with mates which is usually on a Friday night, but nothing serious and competitive.

5) I'm currently in my second year at Coulsdon College, studying Performing arts and media studies.

6) I have a part time job as a customer service assistant and Wilkinsons in Redhill, and have been working there around 2 years.

7) I enjoy watching Netflix when I can, and my two favourite series are Stranger Things and Shooter







8) Another hobby of mine is singing. I enjoy singing a long to songs that I like, so nothing competitive or serious (at the moment!)

Task 2

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) is an adventure/fantasy film which was directed by Tim Burton. The film is an adaptation of the book by Roald Dahl. The film follows a boy called Charlie bucket and his Grandpa Joe, as they join a small group of contest winners who win a tour of the strange and magical factory of famous candy maker Willy Wonka. With the help of his Oompa Loompas, Willy Wonka had a secret prize that one of the contest winners could win. I enjoyed watching the film, however did not really engage with the film. I found the film a little boring. I think the target audience for the film would be a younger age, for example families, maybe with children aged 7 - 15 years old. There is a lot of things that feature in the film, that would help the audience enjoy the film more (audience gratification). For example, as the film is targeted at families with younger children, the children would be able to relate to the idea of candy. The Green Mile (1999) is a fantas

26.1 The Theory of Films The director I have chosen to write about is Tim Burton, and I will write about how he links to the auteur theory. Tim Burton is well known for using the same actors in many of his films, his main actor being Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp is well known for playing Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as starring in Edward Scissorhands. He has also starred in A Nightmare Before Christmas, The Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Sleepy Hollow and Dark Shadows. All of these films were directed by Tim Burton. Johnny Depp has always played a main role in Tim Burton’s films. Tim Burton also used Alan Rickman in a lot of his films, and also uses Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton. These three actors would also usually play a main role in films directed by Tim Burton. For example, Michael Keaton played the role of Batman in

Film Analysis Hacksaw Ridge Hacksaw Ridge is based in 1940's America/Japan, so the set is very well designed to make it seem natural and believable. One of my favourite things about the film is that the main character, who is a conscientious objector, sticks to hie beliefs throughout the film, despite the problems that it causes for him. I think this adds a major effect on the film as the audience would be in suspense a lot of the time because they will never know what is going to happen next. What also creates more effect is that the film is mostly based on a true story (apart from a few edits). During the film, the main character goes through the whole battle as a medic without firing a shot.
