Film Review.
TV Film Review
Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging is a British, coming of Age comedy, which stars Georgia Groome as a 14 year old girl, Georgia Nicholson. Like every other 14 year old girl, Georgia Nicholson is desperate to grow up and become a sophisticated young woman. Growing up with Georgia, are her 3 best friends from school, Jas, Ellen and Rosie, or otherwise known as, "the Ace Gang".
Its the first day back at school, when Georgia is completely besotted with "Stiff Dylans' band hottie Robbie (Aron Johnson), who just moved from London and helps run an organic fruit and veg shop with his brother Tom, whom her best friend Jas has the hots for.
As the film progresses, Georgia and Jas become friendly with the twins from London, and Jas gets into a relationship with Tom, Robbie's brother. However the relationship between Robbie and Georgia proves to be highly unlikely as Robbie is already hanging out with "Slaggy Linsay", Georgia's enemy from the year above. Georgia wants to prove that Linsay is not the right girl for him, however Georgia gets herself into many sticky situations.
Other sticky situations include, her father wanting to move to New Zealand, and the worry that her family might be broken because of a divorce. On top of all of this, Georgia hopes to plan her own party for her 15th Birthday.
Production.
Most of the scenes were filmed in Eastbourne. Others such as the gig scene and some interiors of Georgia's house were filmed in and around Ealing Studios, London. Areas nearby West London like Bishopshalt school in Hillingdon and the Liquid nightclub in Uxbridge were used as well. Sites such as Teddington and Twickenam were used.Costumes included green blazers and kilts borrowed from St Bede's Prep School in Eastbourn, and crops included Eastbourne's signature blue bins to add to the effect when filming in locations.
Audience
I feel that this film is aimed at young teenage girls, as the audience can relate to the film and find it funny. The film is very light hearted and funny for the whole family to watch. The film also deals with family issues like the separation of parents, which some children have to go through. Georgia Nicholson is just an average teenage girl, apart from some American rom-com, where the main character is skinny, blonde and beautiful, the main character in Angus thongs and perfect snogging, (Georgia), is a typical teenage girl.

Synergy
Synergy is the term used to describe a situation where different entities co-operate advantageously for a final out-come. Simply defined, it means that the whole is great than some of its parts. So, interns of Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, it means that when Angus, Thongs and perfect Snogging was released, the soundtrack was released too. Its the strategy of synchronising and actively forging connections between directly related areas of entertainment. Symbiosis is the linking up of various companies to make profits from one product, so like soundtracks and merchandise, such as t-shirts.
The impact of new Technology.
Many films nowadays can be streamed from the internet, and also found on TV movie channels. The capabilities of the DVD, means that home audience member can have the power to fast forward and rewind scenes watching them over and over again, capturing the scenes emotions. Home audiences have a choice, for when they want to watch the film. The film industry is a large industry. Advanced technological capabilities shape film production, and have changed the way we can view films today.

Media As Bridging Unit
Media Bridging Unit
Why Media ?
I have always wanted to have a career in film/media, for as long as I can remember. I have always been interested in making and editing films and taking advantage of social media sites, such as Youtube and Facebook, to upload my videos, to show family and friends what I enjoyed doing as a hobby outside of school. More and more people started to watch my videos, via youtube. I got plenty of positive feed back from people all over the internet and teachers and friends in school started to encourage me to make more videos. I have been making and uploading videos for 3 years now.
At the beginning of July I did some work experience for Agile Films, a film and media production company. I really enjoyed my time working there, I visited a music video set, and experienced working in the media career.
I have chosen to study Media as an A level, as I feel that it is appropriate for the career i want to, hopefully, go into after education. I also feel that i am going to enjoy the course, as i have a passion for it.
