After a question in class today, I thought this video might be of use to people wondering why it is that when we see films there are often 'borders' on the screen or why films often look like different shapes or sizes.
This video is really informative and covers lots of brilliant examples, and is well worth ten minutes or so of your time.

The making of Batman (1989)
A really interesting video has turned up online to coincide with the 25th Anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman film from 1989.
The video is a 'behind the scenes' style video that looks at various aspects of the film before it was made, showing investors why the idea of a dark and gritty Batman would be a successful one. It seems as though the film was made to show the people whose money was needed to make the film that they should continue to give the film money even though they weren't convinced the film would make money. There is also some really nice background to Batman comic books and the evolution of the character, so could be a really useful watch for both GCSE Film paper 1 and for FM2 section of AS Film.
Well worth 20 minutes of your time:
