Media awardz reveiew 2008

My 3 favourite films that i enjoyed were

Face of Fear:
This was also one of my favorite films as it was a different genre which was horror. this film trailer was good as the make-up was good(bruises, blood). the violence and music also fitted very good with the video

Kuch to hua hai:
This was one of my favorite trailers as it was different to the others and was a typical bollywood trailer type. the song in the background was also different to others.

A Rappers ambition
This video was also good as it had extra effects such as the bottle smashing and being but back together. the setting and scenes fitted in with the video well.
