Day of Film

Since my project is based on film I found this film on TED.com where Jehane Noujaim, the 2006 TED prize winner, talks about how a global day of film can really help the world to be creative and appreciate film as a whole. its a logical desire for film has brought about happiness and entertainment to our homes and has improved over the years with visual and audio effects. Filming movies, documentaries, or school projects all allow a person to interact with different materials and understand the concept of film more clearly by working with it. It allows creativity and can display a show of emotions, ideas and opinions.

In the video provided Noujaim gives many examples of different film, but now a days its usually used for media or entertainment purposes. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, but that sometimes film can convey the wrong message, such as her amazing documentary, Control Room, where the Iraq War was covered by the contrasting ideas from the US media and al Jazeera. Even though the media can cause a lot of debate, Noujaim only wants to express her opinions about how film can have a great influence on other people's minds and opinions on certain subjects.
