Putting Movies on Mobiles

Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars.But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm — the first mobile film festival.

The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries.Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length — ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones.An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers.The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.

New Platforms

6ec8aac122bd4f6eThe awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry.Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films.They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work.Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.  

It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience.Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!

New Technology Advances

MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood.The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size.However this could be overcome as technology advances.

In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone.And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.

Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos.

“My God, you’re tall,” he said.

    Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry. I walked to my seat without a word.

I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.

“Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos,pointing to the only empty one,in the back of the room.

Carlos grinned,“But I need a couple of dictionaries.”Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos,not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.

It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. “How come?”I kept asking myself,“How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”

So that morning,I stopped Carlos and said,“It doesn’t seem to bother you — being short.”He looked up at me , “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin,I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,”I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…

56.The author was angry because ________.

        A.the class made fun of her                                                B.Carlos was too rude to her

         C.she had to carry many books                                          D.Reed Harrington didn’t date her

57.Which of the following about Carlos is NOT TRUE?

         A.He was popular.                                                                 B.He was new in the school.

         C.He was shorter than the author.                                   D.He was chosen president in the school elections.

         A.Carlos and the author have become good friends

         B.the author will be more confident

         C.Carlos always encouraged the author

         D.the author was tall
