A Filmmaker's Guide: David Fincher's 'The Social Network' (2010)
It is very well known that when it comes to symbolic cinematography, not many people do it better and more satirically than director of Seven and Fight Club, David Fincher. Fincher directed the Oscar-winning film The Social Network with the legendary Aaron Sorkin writing and scripting the film. This was followed by Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg's crazy SNL episode, which is completely irrelevant to this article but watch it anyway, it's hilarious.

A Filmmaker's Guide: Guy Ritchie's 'Sherlock Holmes' (2009)
Guy Ritchie’s blockbuster Sherlock Holmes is probably most famous for being one of the most well-known and well received adaptations of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s amazing novels. But another thing it is most famous for is its effective action sequences. The way in which the cinematography draws the audience into the scene, makes the audience a part of the scene, and makes sure the audience understands the reality of the characters and the story proves to be effective for this movie to say the least. When we ask questions about this, the first question we have to ask is: how effective is it and what makes it so?

5 Books to Read if You're Starting a Film Degree
Everyone knows that there are lists and lists of stuff out there for people like you, starting your degree in film. Everyone knows that there are films you "should" watch repeatedly if you are studying a degree in film. Everyone knows that there are some film theories that you must by all means, know if you're about to start a degree in film. But, what people rarely discuss is the books that you can read to further your knowledge of the subject. Some people think that film is simply about watching films and writing about them. As someone who majored in film for their MA, I can tell you that this is not the case and that film is a lot more complicated than that. Let me quickly explain:

Five Books I Was Obsessed with When I Was 16
Okay, so when I was 16 I went on one massive paperback horror binge. Every now and again this happens, and I end up scaring myself half to death, but guess what... I absolutely love it. I love everything scary and frightening. I love urban legends and horror movies; I love horror literature, and I think that the best horror stories are written by random people online because it is.

Five Books I Was Obsessed with When I Was 21
At age 21, I was just as a prolific reader as I am now, and as I have always been. I have always loved reading, writing, reading other people's writing and sometimes, I have myself opened a Pandora's Box of reading when discovering something new. Once, when I was in university, I basically blurted out in class that I don't mind reading anyone's writing for any writing module they had, and feeding back information on what I thought, etc. Everyone ended up sending me their work, but I gotta say—I had a lot of reading for the next week or so. I was a happy little woman, for the time being.

The Greatest Books That Didn't Win the Booker Prize
Sometimes, we don't always get what we want in terms of winnings. Sometimes we're supporting a certain book and it doesn't win even after being shortlisted, and even when it is the favourite to win. Sometimes, we don't like the book that won the award and that's okay too. We don't always have to like everything, but sometimes they do go too far with it.
