Intro

Hello!

This is an introductory post to tell you kind of what this blog will be about. First, a little bit about me.

My name is Ruby Gibson and I'm 18 years old. I'm currently studying Performing Arts BA (hons) at Chichester University. I'm living in student halls and I am currently single.

Basically, being a first year student, I have a lot of free time on my hands, so I tend to fill that time watching films or programs I've never seen before. That's how I came up with the idea to create a review blog. That way, there's a productive way of wasting my day away watching films!

So you might be wondering, well, If you're only 18, how can you be qualified to give an accurate review of a film? In all honesty, I don't think I am qualified. But I did take GCSE and A Level Media Studies and I almost studied it at university level. This still doesn't mean that I am in any way qualified I just simply enjoy reviewing and analysing films. I am very opinionated which sometimes isn't the best for reviews, but I can guarantee that my reviews will be thought through, and make sense.

Also, as I am only 18 years of age, I advise anyone that is looking for a completely serious review to not read this blog. I am very immature and I find myself hilarious when most people tend not to (true story). Saying that, my reviews might not be to your taste. So If you dislike my reviewing style please remember that we are completely different people and there are a lot of other reviewing blogs who are more serious and boring (jokes!). I want to keep my blog fun, and if that's not what you're looking for in a review website, please look elsewhere.

Ok, that's the serious part over with. Right so I will plan to post every sunday about a new film. Occasionally you will also get wednesday posts but these may not be film reviews, they may be lists of things I find funny or news articles or something to lighten the mood y'know? I will try to analyse things such as character, plot, context, props/lighting/costume, camera angles (mostly only for films with handheld camera as who wants to read a paragraph about camera angles??), and acting performance. At the end of the post I'll give the movie an overall rating out of TEN stars. 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. This is not in any way associated with any review websites, it is simply my opinion. at the beginning of each review, I'll give you a brief overview of the plot and the trailer. At the end of the post I will also have a segment called 'If you liked this, you might like....', which basically explains itself. These will have titles and trailers.

Well that's about all from me for now. Expect a post next sunday with my first review!

Ruby
