Human Rights Video

We have flimed a video folowing the conditions of the Eusko Gazteri Kontseilua. The aim of the video is to answer the question;What are human rights?

We had the idea of filming a conversation of a girl whit her grandfather. She asks him what are the human rights and he explains to her that when he was young there weren't any human rights and a lot of people were treated very bad with no reason at all. He gives examples, like woman who were payed less for doing the same job or homless men who were treated differently because of their condition.

With the idea in mind we filmed it. We didn't have any major problems, we had a lot of fun filming it. We also edited it easily.

Huma Rights Drawing

Xabi asked us to choose a human right and to talk and film ourself talking about it. I've chosen the one thast says ' your human rights are protected by law'. Here you have the video explaining it, I couldn't upload it so you have here the link.

SECOND TERM EVALUATION

We've finished the secon evaluation and now i'm going to do an evaluation. I didn't like the heritage because it was difficult to do but in fact, we had a good moment recording it. I didn't like the video of the song because it was very difficult to relacionate the video with the song. However, we've done some interesting works, for example, the one of our favourite film because I did about a documental that I really like and I enjoyed a lot doing that work.

Finally, I'd like to do an autoevaluation. I think that I didn't work as hard as I could because it was difficult for me to work in something that I don't like but I worked quite hard.

STORY BOARD

Hi!

  We are Nerea, Patxi, Manex and Lide and we have  done a storyboard on the origin of the challenge; Youngsters & FISH. We have started with a Pitch:

• Set in Donosti, a man is walking in Ondarreta.
• There is a fisher fishing a fish.
• The fish ends up being a krissia stick.

We will use different views and shots to do the video more entertaining.

SONG VIDEO

YNWA

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

We've been told to do a pitch about the film that we watched in Christmas. Here you have the pitch of TAXI DRIVER:

    - An ex Vietnam War participant returns to the USA, he suffers from          insomnia and starts working as a taxi driver at night.

    - He falls in love with a woman that works in a political campaign, then he becomes crazy and starts to kill a lot of people.

    -Finally, he recovers from his illness and starts again working as a taxi driver.

A PICTURE

We've been told to take a picture on the neighbourhood, applying the tips that we learnt the last term. Here is the photo that I took:

TAXI DRIVER

In class we've been told to see a film and to do an analysis of it. I've seen Taxi Driver which is a 1976 American psychological thriller film. It was  directed by Martin Scorsese,  written by Paul Schrader and performed by  Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, Albert Brooks and Leonard Harris. It was set in a decaying New York City .
In this film, Travis Bicklea, a Vietnam veteran; finds that his life has been changed after returning America from the battle-field. He suffers from insomnia which leads him to take a job as a taxi-driver. He works at night and many of his consumers are prostitutes, adulterous people...While he is drivind the taxi becomes infatuated with Betsy, a campaign volunteer for Senator and presidential candidate Charles Palantine. So, he enters to volunter. As the film continues, Travis is disgusted by the sleaze, dysfunction, and prostitution that he witnesses throughout the city. After some disliking events that he witnesses, he tries to stop all the problems killing Palantine but he doesn't succeed. At that night, he goes to a strip club and kills some people but he is severely injured. Finally, he recovers and starts again working as a taxi driver. 


The main character is Travis Bickle and some of the characters that have importance in the film are: Betsy(the girl that Bickle likes), Palantine( the Senator and who Bickle try to kill) and Iris( a young prostitute).

My favourite scene is when Bickle saves a man's life from a robbery and then, the owner takes responsibility for the deed, taking Travis' handgun. I think that the things that Biclkes sees at night motivated him to do this action(killing the robber). After this, Travis Bickle starts to become more crazy and to kill more people. 

In Taxi Driver, Scorsese manages his camera angles and editing to give importance to  Travis seeing the world through glass or mirrors, especially the mirror of the taxi, through which all major characters enter Taxi Driver: Betsy through the panes of an all glass office; Palantine through his rear-view mirror; and Iris and Sport in a fleeting glance in his mirror. As Travis meets with a black-market gun dealer, and in this scene the weapon literally becomes the organ of perception. Scorsese situates his camera on Travis' arm as that arm takes the weapon and slowly pans it across the window looking down on the street below. But, I think that the film was so slow. The music is quite well because it engages you and ut suits with all the scenes.

With this film, I learnt how people return from war, specially from Vietnam, and all the problems that are in big cities, in this case in NY. I think that Scorsese tries to critisice all this problems and that's OK because he does constructive criticism. This film is given in the list because it shows the consecuences of one of the biggest issues in the 20th century, the Vietnam War.
