Kultfilm er en type film som får stor interesse av enkelte personer på grunn av dens spesielle effekter og kvaliteter. Den er ikke spesielt populær blant mange seere, men blant de få personene der interessen er stor, er den veldig godt likt.
Dogmefilm er en filmtype som virker ganske amatørmessig, der det er brukt svært dårlig utstyr. Dogmefilm er et konsept som ble introdusert under Cannes filmfestival i 1995. Dogmefilm skulle være en motvekt mot kommersialiseringen av film (det å lage film for å tjene penger) og det store fokuset på effektmakeri.
Spaghetteiwestern er en betegnelse på westernfilmer. Det vil si filmer med miljøer og historier fra det amerikanske cowbooymiljøet på 1800- tallet. Disse filmene ble produsert i Europa på 1960- og 1970- tallet. De ble i hovedsak spilt inn i Italia, og det er derfor filmene gjerne blir kalt spaghettiwestern.
Dokudrama er en type film som er en blanding av dokumentar og spillefilm. Dokudrama har fokus på virkelige hendelser og virkelige personer som blir presentert på en dramatisk måte.

Poem
Glenyse
I'm a young girl and a poor aborigine
I'm just a dark servant to Mr and Mrs Bigelow
I love wild berries, my mates and beautiful furniture
I feel emotional, frightened and humiliated
I need a real family, a home and an education
I fear white people, agony and the unfamiliar
I give the white people a swept driveway, a clean house and a good dinner
I wish to see freedom, independence and security

My thoughts on "Slumdog Millionaire"
I think this movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have seen "Slumdog Millionaire" before, and I think it gets better and better for every time I see it. It really deserves all the prices it has won. The movie is based on how it really is in India. It describes very well how the poor people live in the slum, and that it is a big class segregation in India. The chronology in the movie makes it very exciting. It makes you want to know what is going to happen forth. I believed the characters because the actors played them very well. The music in the movie fitted great in all the scenes.
All this together made the movie totally well conducted. I really recommend this movie! If you have not seen it yet, go and see it now. “Slumdog Millionaire” will be a movie you remember!

Dear diary !
Part 1
I have been a little bit nervous before the trip to Nigeria. I have never been in Africa before, so this will be exciting. I took the first plane from Værnes to Paris, early in the morning. The plane that was going to the capital of Nigeria (Abuja) from Paris, was four hours too late. I had no idea what to do the next four hours at the airport. After the boring hours, I was finally on the plane on the way to Nigeria. When I looked out of the window in the plane, I saw how exotic the nature was compared to the nature in Norway. It was everything from the dry Sahara to the humid rainforest. When I got out of the plane, the heat was really hitting me. It was like a shock. It was a really contrast to the cold in Norway. I took a taxi to the hotel that I had booked before the trip. The first thing I did when I got up to the hotel room, was to put me in bed. I fell asleep with once.
Part 2
I woke up with a lot of energy. I was ready to discover Nigeria. Before the trip, I had researched about different things to do in Nigeria. I ate a quick breakfast and packed a bag with a bottle of water, some food, a bikini and a camera. There was a bus with some tourists who were going to the eastern part of Nigeria. I went with them, since they were going to a national park. We stopped on the way, because we drove through a big market. There were many different homemade crafts at the market; like hand-woven clothes, herbs and leather goods. I bought a leather bracelet and a “Fulani”. A “Fulani” is a richly embroidered horse that they use in their festivals. The horse was really nice!
The national park we were going to, was called “Yankari National Park”. It was the most developed wildlife park in Nigeria and was famous for its variety of animals. There was a guide who met us when we came to the national park. He showed us around in the park. The guide was very nice. He talked a bit special English. I think he maybe had an African melody over it. He showed us and told us about the many interesting animals in the park. Some of the animals were baboons, elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and hippopotamus. I thought it was most funny to look at the monkeys. They were totally crazy and jumped from a place to another all the time. It was a little monkey which jumped up on my shoulders. It sat there for a while, and then jumped further. That was really incredible.
When we had been in the park for a while, I took a bus down to the coast. I was starving when I came to “Ibeno Beach”. The “Ibeno Beach” is one of the numerous fine beaches in Nigeria. There was a small quite restaurant on the beach. I asked the staff if they had a traditional dinner. I got the answer “of course, we have”. So they served me one of Nigeria’s specialties. That was something they called “suya” (barbecued liver and beef on sticks). There were some new flavors, but it was delicious. After the dinner, I ran down to the sea. I jumped out in the cooling water. I could not get it much better than it was.

Nigeria
Nigeria is located in West Africa. The country borders to the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east and Niger in the north. Nigeria’s coast lies on the Gulf of Guinea in the south. The capital, Abuja, is located in the middle of the country. The name Nigeria was taken from the River Niger running through the country. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, with a population of 141 million people. The three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria are the Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. English is the official language, but Hausa is the most widely spoken language in the country. Nigeria has a very varied landscape. The landscape consists of hills, beaches, rainforests, savannah and a little bit of the Sahara. Nigeria is the third richest country in Africa; with one of the fastest growing economy in the world. The main exports in Nigeria are petroleum, cocoa and rubber. The life expectancy is 52 years for men and 53 years for women.
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to reach Nigeria at the end of the 15th century. At the beginning of the 19th century the British started to gain control of the Lagos area, which later become a British colony. Nigeria gained its independence in 1960. The flag of Nigeria has three equal vertical bands of green, white and green. The green bands represent the forests and abundant natural wealth of Nigeria while the white band represents peace.

Part 3 
Late afternoon, I took a plane from Nigeria to New Zealand. It was a really long trip. I think it took more than 24 hours. I think I almost would have died, if I had forgotten to take with me my I- pod and my book. The landscape in New Zealand was very different to the landscape in Nigeria. There were big mountains, hills, blue fiords and green rainforests. The landscape in New Zealand reminded me a little about the landscape in Norway. I saw some white dots on the green landscape, when the plane was landing on the ground. I was wondering what the dots could be, but I could not figure it out. I wasn’t exactly tired when I got to New Zealand, because I had slept for fifteen hours.
The plane landed in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. I was going to meet some people that I had made an agreement with, when I was in Norway. I got to know these people through some of my friends in Norway. I am actually going to sail with them in a big sailboat to Auckland City. Auckland City is located in the North Island in New Zealand. So we are going to sail from Wellington and up to Auckland City in the north. Sailing is something that I never have tried before, so I am a bit nervous. New Zealand is known for sailing and rowing. When I met the people, they were really nice. With once we got into the boat, we started to sail. It was very entertaining to sail, but it was difficult to always get the wind in the sails. While we sailed around the country, a boy on the boat showed me a bit of the nature. He told me that there were many films that have chosen to make their movie productions in New Zealand, because of the nature. The trilogy of “The Lord of the Rings” was an example, which has played some of its scenes on the green hills in New Zealand. We came to Auckland after three nights on the boat. I got to know many kind people on the sailing trip, and this will be something that I will remember.
Part 4
I booked me on a hotel, when we came to Auckland City. It was very comfortable to not feel the waves when I slept; as I did on the boat. It was the last day in New Zealand, so I was going to do look at the tallest man- made structure in New Zealand, namely the Sky Tower. It is 328 meters tall and is the 13th tallest member of the World Federation of Great Towers. The view is up to 80 kilometers in every direction. When I got up in the tower, I saw how incredible the view over the city was. It was totally amazing!
I ate a very good dinner in the 360- degrees revolving restaurant, in the building. In the main course I ate lamp, which is one of the most popular dishes in New Zealand. The waiter told me that there are 20 times more sheep than people in the country. When he said that; I figured out what the white dots (that I saw out of the window on the plane) were. They were of course sheep! How stupid could I be? I ate something called “pavlova” to dessert. It is the national dessert in New Zealand. It was made of meringue filled with whipped cream and fresh fruit. It was really delicious!
