Where can I study abroad for film or marketing?

I'm currently a college freshman so this is a few years away. I'm planning on studying abroad my jr year. Currently my major is film studies with a possible emphasis in history and critisism. I'm still not 100 percent sure though. I also am planning on marketing are another major or a minor. Can anyone suggest a school nationally or internationally which offers one of my majors (preferably film) or both majors.





Thanks!|||Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada has a good program.

What is the name of a film about a little boy accidently strangled with his favourite toy in his sleep?

Me and my brother both remember watching this film when we were younger but don't remember the title. It's about a family with a girl and a boy, one night the boy takes his favourite horse with a string around its neck to bed and it strangles him. Then I'm sure the boy comes back to help his family with the grief or something like that. I really want to know the title of this film, thanks.|||omg dude i know what your talking about, i wanna know too ha|||Darn, I know what movie you are thinking about %26amp; I don't know the name.





I don't remember a little girl though.





I think it was a Lifetime movie but not sure. I think I saw it on that channel.





After I saw the movie I now make sure nothing with a string is near my kids bed. It really scared me.





I think I found it -


It's a 1994 TV movie called Reunion.

I'm searching for it now on Imdb.com





Found it -





The Reunion (1994) (TV) starring Marlo Thomas and Peter Strauss. Directed by Lee Grant.





Jessie's deceased four-year-old son, Jamie, returns from the grave to comfort his grieving mother in THE REUNION. But when the soothing apparition returns to the spirit world, Jessie must decide whether to stay with her living family, or join her son in death...


There's not a whole lot of info on this particular movie but the storyline starts off with a little boy and he has a horse cart (with a string attached) that he loves. He wants to take it to bed with him and after much protest, his parents relent and let him take the toy to bed. He then chokes on the string and dies in the night.


His ghostly spirit is then seen in the barn and elsewhere.

How do I make a film review sound less like a film analysis?

For my English coursework, I have to write a film review on any film of my choice.


I have written it, but it does not sound like a film review at all.


What are some characteristics that a film review has?|||this should really help, it has the steps you need to do to write a good review, including the most important ... giving your opinion:





http://www.howtodothings.com/hobbies/a22鈥?/a>|||A film review can contain an analysis. I would say that most do. Try and give a brief plot outline without including spoilers. You can add your opinion in a review whereas an analysis would be void of opinion. So wherever you have made analytical points throw in your opinion as well. Also reviews tend to compare what they are reviewing to other subjects, usually what they are similar to. Movies reviews often refer to other movies to convey certain similarities. A good place to check for references to other movies is IMDB.com. Find your movie and read the user comments that discuss the movie. They almost always reference other movies as comparison as well as usually giving well founded opinions.

Who was the film maker, associated with making the footage of the moon landing?

The original moon landing, we've all seen it, but there was a famous film maker who was involved, and all the team mysteriously "disappeared". He didn't leave his house for something ridiculous like 20 years or something... Any help please?|||Supposedly Stanley Kubrick.|||Best Answer - Chosen by Asker


Supposedly Stanley Kubrick.





.......Not supposedly, it was!

What Chinese action film ends in a violent prolonged shootout with a man and woman trying to escape in a car?

I'd caught only the end of this film one night late on television a number of years ago. I would guess that it's from the late 1980s or 1990s. The Chinese man and woman both have guns, and both take what looks like dozens of bullets during the final shootout before dying in the car at the very end. The camera is facing them (he in the driver's seat).|||That could be alot of movies.|||Sounds like Beyond Hypothermia.

What is the best old style film camera to buy?

I am looking to take some pictures that look like they are from the late 70s early 80s. I bought some old kodakrome film and now I need a camera. I like the pictures the Leica R3 takes but the Summilux 50 mm lens is too expensive. Are there any other good old film cameras that pictures like the Leica does?|||If you like the Leica R-3, buy a Minolta XE-7 with an MC ROKKOR-X 50mm f1.4 lens. The R-3 is really an XE-7 modified with a Leica lens mount and metering system. If you have the bucks (and can find one), the Minolta MC ROKKOR-PG 58mm f1.2 is definitely an awesome lens.





The XE-7 (and R-3) have a shutter designed by Leitz and Copal and is arguably the quietest shutter ever on an SLR. The film advance is buttery smooth. The XE-7 also allows for multiple exposures by pushing a switch to disengage the film advance and frame counter.





The Minolta MD 35-70mm f3.5 and MD 70-210mm f4 constant aperture zooms are excellent - so good that Leica sold them for the R-3, R-4 %26amp; R-5. Leica also sold the Minolta 16mm f2.8 180 degree full-frame fisheye.|||The #1 selling point of Leica is that their M-series (rangefinder) lenses are sharper wide open than any other 35mm glass.





This lets you shoot in almost no light (think National Geographic, a yak barn in Tibet).





Unless you need this kind of low-light performance, just about any prime lens from any manufacturer will be good for your purpose.





In keeping with your project, a Nikon FE with 50mm f1.8 would be fitting.
