  ME,THE CINEMA AND THE SEA



Some people go in front of the sea when they're afraid, stressed or they just  need to relax and feel the ocean energy. Me, personally, I'm one of them.

When I feel sad, stressed, broken or just feeling bad I like to sit in front of the sea and  think about my life like a movie. I think of me like a star movie reaching her dreams and living her life like she wants. I think of me like a girl that does what she really wants to do.
I think of me like a strong, independent woman. I think of me like a girl who can hold the world with just one hand. I think of me like a girl who makes herself better everyday. I think of me like a good person. The one who always I wanted to be. I think of me like an adventurer travelling around all the world  learning new cultures.
I think of me like a movie director does with her stars.


KITESURF ON THE SEA:

Kitesurfing is an extreme sport of hydroplaning in which the wind drives a traction kite,  attached to your body by a harness , so you navigate in a table on the waves (wave riding ) or perform maneuvers in the air that even the most jumping dolphin ( freestyle ) .
Although it is reported that as early as the twelfth century some communities of Chinese and Indonesian fishermen used kites to drag their small boats , this sport officially dates from 1977 , when Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise patented a navigation system on a surfboard pulled by a kind of parachute.
Types of kites:
There are several types of comets as navigation mode you want to perform and according to this there are a number of types of specialized kites for each case. Among the types have the Delta type, hybrid, bow,''C`` type and foil:

Delta Type: comets are very wind range especially designed for beginners.
 Or flat Type: are recommended to start the kite and nevegación with gusty winds. Provide greater versatility.
''C`` Type: They have a semicircular shape. They are kites designed for navigation mode called''Freestyle`` comets are so advanced level. They are powerful and fast kite with wind range smaller than the''Bow``.
Hybrid type: These are a mixture of the above mentioned so which combine power and versatility and easier control.
Foil type: They are similar to paragliders. They have two layers of cloth divided by several cells, which inflates air with the wind enters through the front valves and form their profile. They have good traction. Some models are assembled quickly. They are generally more resistant to impacts.

Personal opinion: I think that kitesurfing is a sport more balanced because there is work all the muscles of the body. I also think it is a risky sport because you're always dependent on sea and yo

How movies are made in the ocean
If shooting outside  the water it’s difficult, imagine how difficult it’s shooting inside it.
You have to use the movie techniques you would use to do a ‘’normal’’ movie , and then you would  have to applique the new ones you learn about how to make a good movie inside water.

A ''normal'' set movie




''Normal'' movies techniques



  • Over the shoulder shots: a shot with an actor’s shoulder in the foreground, out of focus.
Over the shoulder shot

  • Tilt shotsTilting up or down is one of the simplest camera techniques there are.
  


Tilt shot




  • Panning shots: Panning the shot is the horizontal equivalent of tilt shots.

  • Zoom shots:  The way to make zoom shots truly effective and “creepy” is to make them absolutely smooth and not too fast.








                                                                                             
                                                                                              Zoom shot

Shooting inside water techniques


  •     Hold Still: Avoid shaky movements.
  •  Move around a little: Videos are more interesting if they contain a variety of shots.Videos are more interesting if they contain a variety of shots.

  • Use a Tripod: It's almost impossible to hold the camera completely steady - especially in the frequently-surgey waters here in Southern California.





Personal opinion

I think that it's easier to shot a movie in ''normal'' conditions , because shooting a movie with special water cameras it's very expensive.

The Odyssey - Literature

The Odyssey

·         STORY


The story occurred after the end of the Trojan War, when Odysseus couldn’t return home yet in Ithaca, Greece. 
While Penelope, his wife, was courted by a large and unwanted mob of suitors. Helped by Mentor, the loyal Odysseus friend, Penelope reared Odysseus child, prince Telemachus, who desperately wanted to throw them out. One of the suitors, Antonious, planed to assassinate him, eliminating the only opposition to their dominion over the place.

But no one knew that Odysseus was still alive in Ogygia Island, with the beautiful nymph Calypso who was possessed by love and has imprisoned him. While the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus debated Odysseus’s future, Athena, resolved to help Telemachus. She disguised as a friend of his father, Laertes, and convinced the prince to visit the kings Nestor and Menelaus, Odysseus’s companions during the war, who informed him that his father was alive and trapped on Calypso’s Island.
Meanwhile, the god of gods, Zeus, decided to send Hermes, who persuaded Calypso to let Odysseus build a ship and leave.
Unfortunately, Poseidon whipped up some storms and Odysseus washed ashore in the land of Phaeacians since the hero blinded his son. Nausicaa, the Phaeacian princess, showed him to the royal palace, and when he identified himself as Odysseus, everybody was stunned. They promised to give him safe passage to Ithaca, but first they begged to hear the story of his adventures.
The hero spent all the night describing the events: the Land of the Lotus Eaters, his battle with Polyphemus the Cyclops, his lover Circe, his temptation by the deadly Sirens, his journey into Hades and his fight with the sea monster Scylla.

They all were so moved by his suffering that returned him back to Ithaca.
Odysseus followed Athena advice and unloaded to Ithaca disguised as a beggar and swineherd Eumaeus told him about the suitors then the hero met with his son and revealed his true identity. They two devised a plan to massacre the suitors and regain control of Ithaca.    
Next day, at the palace, still disguised as a beggar, the only who recognized him was his old nurse, Eurycleia, and his dog, but she sworn to not disclose his secret.
Then Penelope decided to organize an archery contest the following day and promised to marry any man who could string Odysseus’s great bow. All the suitors failed but Odysseus fired an arrow through all twelve axes and then together with Telemachus, killed every last suitor.

Finally Odysseus told his identity to Penelope and stayed all night telling her the long story about his adventures.

Next morning Odysseus’s parents starteed looking for vengeance for killing all the young noblemen of Ithaca but Athena, sent by Zeus, restored peace once again.

·         PERSONAL OPINION

I saw the movie like about 3 years ago and I thinks it's quite interesting. Mythology is something I find very cool since there're a lot of stories about surreal things that might me possible? It's like a fantastic and amazing world I get involved. 
Particulary I find The Odyssey a great story! I love The Trojan War so Odyssey may be a "sequel" of the main one. With new characters, gods and goddess and a lot of awesome adventures :D An unexplored world. What can be more interesting than that?
