    My first thought was "how could you have a lighthouse near a cemetery", but then I started wondering what if it isn't an ordinary lighthouse? What if it has some kind of connection to the cemetery, incorporating the two into an interesting story and giving the Lighthouse Keeper a reason for being in the cemetery

    I like where Michael is going with his idea, perhaps this takes place in a small town where the local cemetary has filled and the townsfolk started burying their dead near the lighthouse

    Hey Rhia I am also one of your creative partners :)

    I can't help it but from the combination of cemetary and food blender I'm getting only horror ideas. For example the light house keeper lives alone in light house and his only companion is mouse or some sort of small animal. He also has food blender in his light house and one day while he will be using blender his companion will fall inside and die by misadventure. As it was his only friend for many years, he has to burry him in a decent way so he decide to take him to the cemetary.

    I'm sorry it's probably not the way where you want to go but yeah I like also what is Michael saying. By giving light house keeper unexpected reason to be near the cemetary you can make interesting story even that at the beginning it seems a bit hard to put those words togheter.

Film Review - 2001: A Space Odyssey

Image
Fig 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey Poster (1968) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is one of the many classics brought to life by Stanley Kubrick. The film stands out in the world of cinema nowadays for the way it was produced but at the time of its release it didn’t receive that many good reviews from the critics, however, it inspired future film makers such as Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott. Like with most of his films Kubrick frames or centres most of the shots using the rule of thirds a technique that he learned from his days as a photojournalist for Look magazine. As shown in Fig 2 the rule of thirds involves placing a 3x3 grid over the image and lining up the key subjects within it so that everything is not cluttered on one side, in Kubrick’s case he places key subjects in the middle of the grid with other subjects on both sides of it so that the audience’s eye is drawn to what is being shown in the middle. As show in the example Dave Bowman and Frank Poole are on ever

Film Review: Kung Fu Panda - Act Structure

Image
Kung Fu Panda (2008) directed by John Stevenson and Mark Osborne can be broken down in to the different acts that take place. Sometimes it can be broken down in to a 3 act stuctre or a 5 act stuctre but ever way they both have the same points that happen in the story that introduct the characters, show us what problems they have to face that lead up to the big cilmax before everything is goes back to the way that it was at the begining. Below is how I have broken down Kung Fu Panda using the 5 act stuctre along with working out the plot and ending type of the film. The 5 Act Stuctre shown with Freytag's Pyramid The plot of the film is similar to a Arc Plot. Po changes as the story goes on and the characters around him also change. This means that when one thing happens it will affect what happens next or start the next sturcture. I see the ending of Kung Fu Panda as being a Partial Ending as the story has ended but we get the feeling that this is not the end of Po and

@Simon - Mesh Mishap

I can't unfold the mesh. :( I've done everything in the video but for some reason this won't work. The error at the bottom says: "Mesh has non-manifold edges. Clean up the mesh before using unfold." and I don't understand what it means.
