Actor are important




As we started with a new topic , I decided to do my own post about actors , i prefer talking about Hugh Laurie , James Hugh Calum Laurie ( born 11 June 1959), better known as Hugh Laurie, is an English actor, voice artist, comedian, writer, musician, recording artist, and director. He first reached fame as one half of the Fry and Laurie double act, along with his friend and comedy partner Stephen Fry, whom he joined in the cast of Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster from 1987 until 1999. Since 2004, he has been starring as Dr. Gregory House, the protagonist of House, for which he has received two Golden Globe awards and several Emmy nominations. As of August 2010, he is the highest paid actor in a drama series on US television.

And as in the previous post I will talk about a serie , I ought to talk about Dr. House:

House (a.k.a. House, M.D.) is an American television medical drama that debuted on the Fox network on November 16, 2004. The program was conceived by David Shore and Paul Attanasio; Shore is credited as creator. The show's central character is Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), an unconventional and misanthropic medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton‑Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. The show's premise originated with Attanasio, while Shore was primarily responsible for the conception of the title character. The show's executive producers include Shore, Attanasio, Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs, and film director Bryan Singer. It is largely filmed in Century City.

Dr. House often clashes with his boss (and later, girlfriend), hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), and his diagnostic team, because many of his hypotheses about patients' illnesses are based on subtle or controversial insights. House's only true friend is Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), head of the Department of Oncology. During the first three seasons, House's diagnostic team consists of Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer), Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps). At the end of the third season, this team disbands. Rejoined by Foreman, House gradually selects three new team members: Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley (Olivia Wilde), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson), and Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn). Kutner was written out of the series toward the end of season five. Chase and Cameron continue to appear in different roles at the hospital until early in season six. Cameron then leaves the show, and Chase returns to the diagnostic team.

House is critically acclaimed and has high viewership ratings. It was among the top-ten rated shows in the United States from its second through its fourth season; in the 2008–09 season, it fell to nineteenth overall. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most watched television program in the world in 2008. The show has received several awards, including a People's Choice Award, a Peabody Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and four Primetime Emmy Awards. House's seventh season premiered on September 20, 2010.

This is the Opening:

Movies are made by actors


Movies are made by actors , so we can talk about actors , I choosen one in specially , in this case is Kiefer Sutherland , Kiefer Sutherland (born 21 December 1966) is a Canadian actor, producer and director, best known for his portrayal of Jack Bauer on the Fox thriller drama series 24. He is an Emmy Award- and Golden Globe award-winner. He is the son of Canadian actors Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas.

But not only an actor , I will talk about a serie of him , in this case 24 , 24 is an American television series starring Kiefer Sutherland as federal agent Jack Bauer, produced for the Fox Network and syndicated worldwide. Each 24-episode season covers 24 hours in the life of Bauer, using the real time method of narration.

First broadcast on November 6, 2001, the show ran for 192 episodes over eight seasons, with the series finale broadcast on May 24, 2010. In addition, the television movie 24: Redemption was broadcast between seasons six and seven, while a feature film is also planned.

Bauer is the only character to have appeared in all eight seasons, as well as appearing in every episode of the series. The series begins with him working for the Los Angeles based Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), for whom he is characterized as a highly proficient agent, but one taking an "ends justify the means" approach regardless of the perceived morality of some of his actions. Throughout the series most of the main plot elements unfold like a political thriller. A typical plot has Jack Bauer racing against the clock as he attempts to thwart multiple terrorist plots, including presidential assassination attempts, nuclear, biological and chemical threats, cyber attacks, as well as conspiracies dealing with government and corporate corruption. This often leads to being on the brink of war, and also causes Jack to pursue justice for attack fallout, commonly being the threatening or taking of lives with whom Jack has cared for.

So , Movies right?

We were talking about movies , and we have our movie to show , for first time in our blog

Here is the Video :
Part 1


Part 2



Part 3

Cinema Classes by English Cuartet



So , you came here for a reason , to chose a job in the big screen!! , we will present some jobs likeproducer , director , camera man , actor , and much more! We strat with the head of the movie , The Producer , a film producer or movie producer is someone who selects a screenplay, initiating the process of film making. The title Executive Producer is normally reserved for a producer with a financial interest in the production. The producer oversees the whole process including coordinating, supervising and controlling matters such as fund-raising, hiring key personnel such as the film director , other producers involved on production, line producer ,accounant and ar ranging for distribution. They also advise and control creating thescenes and conditions for making movies . The producer is totally involved throughout all phases of the film-making process from development to completion of a project.Many producers today are paid as a minimum $120,000 to $300,000 for a movie

.

Then we ve the Director ,
Film directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry the vision out, deciding how the film should look. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequences of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Directing a film is a kind of storytelling . Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects, lighting, and set desing , and will often take part in hiring key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves and also may be involved in the writing, financing, and editing of a film.



A very important part is the Cameraman , a cameraman is a person that operates a film or video camera for the purpose of recording a production to film, video, or a computer storage medium. A camera operator serving in an official capacity in the process of filmmaking may also be known variously as a , television camera operator, video camera operator, or videographer, depending on the context and technology involved . Important camera operator skills include choreographing and framing shots, knowledge of and the ability to select appropriate photographic lenses, and other equipment (dollies, camera cranes, etc.) to portray dramatic scenes. The principles of dramatic story telling and film editing fundamentals are important skills as well. The camera operator is required to communicate clearly and concisely on film sets where time and budget constraints are ever present.



And of course a movie is great with special effects , so we have the editor, A film editor is a person who practices film editing by assembling the footage. However, the job of an editor isn’t simply to mechanically put pieces of a film together, cut off film slates, or edit dialogue scenes. A film editor must creatively work with the layers of images, story, dialogue, music, pacing, as well as the actors' performances to effectively "re-imagine" and even rewrite the film to craft a cohesive whole. Editors usually play a dynamic role in the making of a film.



And last but not least is the Actor or Actress, An actor is a person who acts, or has a role (a part) in a movie, television show, play, or radio show. Sometimes actors only sing or dance, or sometimes they only work on radio. A woman actor is also an actress, but today most people use the word "actor" for both men and women. In the past, the name "actor" was only for men. Women only began performing often in the 17th century. When they began, people called them the "actresses" . In the ancient world and in the Middle Ages, people thought it was bad (shameful) for a woman to act. People thought this until the 17th century. In the time of William Shakespeare, men and boys played women's roles, but we think perhaps women also acted secretly. Today, the name "actor" is for both men and women, because some people think the name "actress" is sexist. But people also use the name
actress very often.

There are many others jobs in Movies , but all them are important.

Jobs

Well, the last entrys about famous people were completely succesfull, but it don't depend on us, we have to change te topic again.

So, ladies and gentelmen, say welcome to.... JOBS! (Booooooooring)


Liam: he simply is wonderful. Noel: He is God







As a diffrence between the previous post, the two men i'm going to talk about, are alive.

Between the 60's and the 90's a new Rock style was growing, today, considered much more rich and well designed than the north america Rock, the British Rock. At the word says, this kind of music comes from Britain, to be more specific from, England.
How can i describe it ? Well, tell me who made an impact and change the world by their music ?
The Beatles ? Yes. Did they consilidate the british Rock? No. For that reason, we will not talk about them. Today, we are going to talk about, the men who really changed the music. OASIS.

Oasis was a British rock band formed in Manchester in 1991. Initially known as The Rain, the band was compossed by singer Liam Gallagher, guitarist Paul Arthurs, bassist Paul McGuigan and drummer Tony McCarroll, and later joined as a composer and guitarist Liam's older brother, Noel Gallagher. Their main influences were, as they themselves, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Stone Roses and The Who.

The band, today is dibanded and as i have not got enough time to write, i'm going to talk about only the two main members of the band: Liam & Noel Gallagher.

Liam Gallagher: William John Paul "Liam" Gallagher is a British musician and composer, known for being the lead singer of British band Oasis. It is famous for his attitude and his unique way of singing. In Spite of the different views, Liam was one of the leaders of the Britpop movement in the '90s, and todays, it remains being one of the most distinctive and known characters in British music.
Giving you my personally view about him: He is really wonderful. His way of singing, his style, his arrogance, his fight's with the paparazzis, with "Blur". He really rocks, he really sings, Look at this video:


Noel Gallagher: Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born May 29, 1967) is a British rock musician, best known as composer and lead guitarist of the band Oasis. He is known for his great musical ability, and also many people believe he was the biggest part of Oasis, in the composition of his most famous songs and his particular way of playing guitar. It is considered one of the best composers in history, having millions of fans around the world. Giving you my pont of view: He is amazing, he is the half of Oasis, he composed all the songs. He delighted us his voice, and much more with his guitar. He reaaly feels the music.He is the best musician in the world! NO! WHAT AM I SAYING ? HE IS GOD!
