One direction: You and I music video

They've grown up apparently. No. They've just made a maturer boy band video. A Coldplay/Take That video. Although they are the richest boy band out there, they all decided, fuck it lets go get this done on the pier and borrow each others jumper. 

No in all fairness, this is my favourite song from their Midnight Memories album and being a TV student, I love all these 'one take' music videos. I have like a tech arts organism over them seriously. It's good to see the boys do something more slower like this. Simplicity is a beauty.

The video reminds me of Coldplay-Yellow/ Ed Sheeran-Small Bump music videos, so not a bad mix really. From the first watch I think people will notice it's not really a 'One Direction video' but hey a little shake up is good, I mean the finger foam wasn't really 'a Miley Cyrus thing' but look at her now.

Here's the video itself.

Coldplay: Yellow

Ed Sheeran: Small Bump

Sleep? what's that?

SHOWOFF

Sleeping is such a beautiful thing. No matter who you are, an Avon lady or the Queen, sleep is available to us all. The perfect excuse to stop thinking and working and simply sleep. It may be a nap or an 8-12 hour thing. what a beautiful innocent part of life which consumes up to half a regular persons 24-hour day. It's Almost too good to be true... THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS IN MEGAN'S WORLD.



Sleep just doesn't like me. Every night, around 12, I arrange to meet up with it and it just keeps standing me up. I wait and i wait. Sometimes it is in a good mood and only arrives 2 hours late but other times, Sleep just won't arrive. No text. Nothing.


It hits morning/midday and oh then it suddenly wants me. As One Direction quoted, 'Now that you can't have me. You suddenly want me.' Well this is the case. As soon as I can, I give in and crawl right back into bed with it. This is what a like to call a 'Nap'.

                                       NAPS

I heart naps!! normally because I can't sleep but also a nap is just a beauty in itself. Going for a sleep, knowing you don't have to set an alarm, you'll just simply wake up in an hour or so feeling refreshed and it's the same day. How Lovely.

However, My True Love, Nap, has begun a backlash against me recently and tricks me.
NAP: 'I won't keep you long. Just for an hour or so.'
ME: 'Oh you!! OK then'
(begin napping)
5 hours Later .... turns out my bad friend sleep has teamed up with nap.

So just a warning to all you sleep lovers. Appreciate your relationship with sleep. One day it might turn against you.

P.S. If you get sleep really drunk. Then it jumps right into bed with you. No waiting. nothing. Maybe I'll start drinking more....

NETFLIX WHORE

Lately I've turned into a Netflix whore. TV series binging is now my thing.

Breaking Bad - brilliant if anything you could just watch the programme on mute. - amazing cinematography. I've never routed for a meth drug dealer more! Although, he did start turning into an arse-wipe as it went on.

Dexter - think this has been my favourite. I just fell in love with the man and sometimes thought when in a bad situation - 'what would Dexter do?'. (this is what i mean by binging - too much at once - obsessed.) Like in Breaking Bad, I've never been more in-love with a serial killer. Unlike Breaking Bad, Dexter never turned into an arse-wipe except when he turned Deb's machine off. I don't blame him though, I blame the writers. Deb should never of died, ever! She should have been the one going away with Harrison. Don't worry i understand the reasons behind why they killed off Deb but it will take some time OK.... Anyway, yes love Dexter, Dirty-mouth Deb and the beauty of blood in this.

Orange is the New Black - !!!!!!!! That's all.. Amazing series which is another example of 'why aren't you aired in the UK' television. When I first watched it, all I saw was sex. But as the storyline's progressed it got sooooo good! You so knew she was going to cheat with her Ex right? The crazy lady just makes the series when she's trying to save people. I had to watch it twice cause there just wasn't enough episodes. The next series needs to happen now.




Life Unexpected - A more light hearted one, but one i enjoyed. She's like the escaped American Tracey Beaker. I loved the ending of season two. Cute and UNEXPECTED ;)









Prison Break - I bow to you Mr Michael Scofield. It's a feel good one I think. He's a bit like Dexter, excusing a few major times, he never gets caught. It's like the Matilda moment when you think Miss Truchball is going to catch Matilda in the kitchen but then O WAIT JUST ONE SECOND, she's gone.... Oh there she is under the table. I wonder how many kids tried that after watching it. Anyway, Michael has learnt from Matilda well, very well. My favourite series are 2 and 4 though, when they are on the run. I didn't really get into series 3, just didn't take my fancy. Urmm hang on though, THE ENDING??!!??!!?! WHAT THE HELL! I didn't see that one coming, like really someone should have warned me cause I balled my eyes out haha. I like how they structured the last two episodes though, with it being a complete shock then them going back and explaining it all.


DOCTOR WHO - I never watched it before and called every doctor who fan a geek... I'm now a geek. I love it. David Tennent has got to be the best doctor though. Loved Martha Jones and Loved Donna Noble even more. I mean it's Catherine Tate! The writers must be on something to think up all the worlds that they do. I say carry on taking whatever it is that makes this programme so good.

The Office and Derek - I've seen Derek before but watched it again because it's hilarious but cute as the same time. I've decided Ricky Gervais is no longer what i thought was annoying. He is a comedy Genius!














Arrested Development - I started watching it cause I hear people talk of it a lot and Portia De-Rossi is in it. watching it i can see the original modern family setup and structure. I've only just started it but I'm getting into it. The narration is brilliant.

Amy Jane Bennett - Home :StreetView

This is StreetView films very first video release which is a youtube channel i have set up just for more films just like this one. please watch :)

Coming up..

Back in college, we had to film some music students from a music video. My group did a music video  on a band doing a cover of Stevie Wonder - 'I just called'. Below was the result, it was a lot of fun. Anyway, it turns out myself and Amy (the lead female singer) ended up going to the same uni. (freaky) So we thought we'd team up again. so stay tuned for Amy's brand new acoustic of an original song, filmed ect by me :) 

When housemate leaves his door unlocked....
