FILMS INTO FILMS

Hi, I’m Amy Blake. I’m 15 years old. I live and go to secondary school in Oxford, but I’ve got
an interesting hobby. I love films. I go to the cinema every week and I watch films online too. I
know a lot about films and a lot of people know about me! Why? Because I’m a vlogger and I
make vlogs about films!

Lots of people write blogs and put them online, but I make short films called vlogs. Vlogs are
like blogs, but they are films, not texts. In my vlogs, I talk about the films I see at the cinema. I
talk about good and bad films, and I make comments about the actors. My favourite films are
comedies, but I’m not keen on romantic comedies. I love action films like Spiderman and Iron
Man. But I also go to see films I’m not into because, in my vlogs, I talk about lots of different
films.

I make my vlogs at home and I usually do it at weekends. I don’t make vlogs every week. I
usually make one or two every month. A lot of my friends watch my vlogs, and now other people
from the UK watch them too. People write comments to me. They think my vlogs are funny! I
love my hobby. I really enjoy making my vlogs. When I leave school, I want to go to film
school. I want to be a director and make films for the cinema!
