Zombies in Hallyuwood

Train to Busan is a South Korean action-horror film released in 2016. The plot follows fund manager Seok-Woo (Gong Yoo) as he takes his daughter Soo-an (Su-an Kim) by train to visit her mother (and his ex-wife) who lives in Busan.

Bcm114 Project Pitch

For my pitch, I have decided to create a YouTube channel where I discuss video games, as well as gaming news and events. When discussing a specific game in a video, I plan to use footage of the gameplay and cutscenes to emphasise better the points that I’m trying to make. However, due to time […]

The Success of “The Office”

What makes a television show successful? Can changing certain aspects of the show make it more accessible on a global scale? This question was answered when in 2005 an American adaption of the BBC series, The Office, was first aired on American television. The Office U.S. followed a very similar synopsis to that of the […]

The Deception of Al Jazeera

On the twenty-fifth of March, the first half of the documentary, “How to Sell a Massacre” (HTSAM) produced by independent news organisation Al Jazeera was released on YouTube, with the second half being released two days later.

We can make assumptions based on what we find in the artwork, but until we’re told what it’s supposed to mean, it’s left to our interpretation. Fascinatingly, while two individuals may come to similar conclusions about what the […]

The Fyre Fiasco

There is something very mesmerising about fires. If you’ve ever sat around a campfire late at night, you’ll know what I mean. If you look at it long enough, you seem to fall under a sort of trance, unable to take your eyes off of them. The same could be said for Fyre Festival, the […]

Lani’s A Blogger Now

And so it begins. Not going to lie, blogging isn’t exactly my forte. Writing down my opinions on a topic and posting to the internet doesn’t seem to hold much appeal. But I’m also not going to shy away from a challenge. I’m not going to pretend that I know what I’m doing, but I’ll […]

Where I Get My News

My favourite source of news is probably The Philip Defranco Show (PDS) on YouTube. Created by Philip Defranco himself in 2006 and still hosted by him, the PDS is a week-daily independent show which discusses news, current events and pop culture on an international scale. A single episode can involve everything from American politics to […]
