This lesson, many people presented their powerpoint presentations, most people who presented had similar documentaries by Michael Moore, for example, Bowling for Columbine, Sicko, fahrenheit 9 11, etc. Many people didn't have powerpoint presentations, which I thought made their presentations really boring, though quite informative. I especially liked Lucas' presentation on Bowling for Columbine, even though it was way too long and too informative. I thought it was well organized and quite interesting, because he first introduced Michael Moore (background information). Though I thought the only bad thing was that he didn't have a proper introduction and a proper ending. He didn't talk about his thoughts and if he was persuaded by Michael Moore. Though overall, he explained how Michael Moore influenced people to side with his views by using techniques that could make the documentary more believable. For example, he explained the camera angles used and how it enhances the overall mood of the video, and the sounds, other tecniques (statistics),etc. His presentation was really informative, and it also helped me a lot with my presentation. There were a few notes that I missed out in my research, and I took it down and included them in my presentation, because I was also focusing on Bowling for Columbine. Through Lucas' presentation, I learnt that Michael Moore wanted to portray the violence and the high level of gun crime commited in America. Due to the fact that I didn't present today, it meant that I had more time to improve my presentation, and I followed the comments and feedbacks from Ms. Wong to improve it. My goal for next lesson is to edit my current powerpoint presentation, and change my speech a little (add information that I missed).

Film Reflection 21
May 7th 2009
This lesson, Ms. Wong didn't give us time to complete our videos but she introduced us to our new project, it was to create a powerpoint presentation on one of Michael Moore's documentaries. She showed us many examples of Michael Moore's work on Youtube and I found many very funny and some really sad, for example, an extract from bowling for columbine. It was a clip about how America was corrupt and violent, it also portrayed his views on America, even though he himself is an American. The main purpose of thie lesson was to look at examples of the work of Michael Moore's, and choose a documentary for next lesson and analyse it by creating a 3-5 minute powerpoint presentation on it. My goal for next lesson is to start working and researching about Michael Moore's documentary. I decided to focus on the extract from Bowling for Columbine because I loved how Michael Moore's uses many techniques to persuade his audience to side with his views.
