Urban Films
The next task I had to complete had me delve into the genre of Urban Film. I started by researching overall what it was that Urban Film was about. They cover this idea of Ostracised lower class and often black communities and the struggles that they have to go through. Urban films explore many issues such as divide in social class, drug use, gang violence, segregation and overcoming economic difficulties.
I then took a look at a few specific films to see how their setting and plots both were similar and different at the same time. By looking at this as well it also helped me to find out that there are specific people such as Adam Deacon or Noel Clark who work specifically with this genre of film as they have both written, starred and directed in Urban films.
The third thing that I looked at was the conventions of Urban Film. This is essentially looking at how the different production features come together in order to create the effect that the film is trying to portray. This can be a variety of things, such as how the camera is used, the different props or clothing involved with specific characters, the setting of the film and even the music that is used

Themes of British Film
Themes of British Film
For the second Prezi task I had to look at some of the different themes that British Film explores and I decided to look at some of the more notable ones from recent years that also had some similarities to each other. The four themes I chose to look at we Urban, Crime/Gangster, Monarchy and Period dramas. I felt as if these all went hand in hand with each other in some way whether it be that Crime, Urban and Period dramas are often exaggerated versions of real life situation. Or it be that Urban Films and Monarchy films often depict a major event or series of events that the main protagonist has to overcome.

British Film Institute Prezi
BFI Research Task
For the first prezi that we had to make, we were given the task of researching the British Film Institute or BFI for short. In order to go about this task I used the BFI's Official website as I figured that this would eb my best source of information. From doing so, it gave me an insight into who the BFI, What it is that they do, some of their internal and external activities as well as how they help the British Film Industry.
