Does Netflix provide threat or opportunity to the major Hollywood studios?
This was a video I decided to shoot quite randomly, I didn't really have a set idea in mind I just knew that I wanted to capture and edit something. After going through the footage, I edited it with an 'inspirational' type of message attached.
Please select the highest HD option before watching.
I mainly created this to show my editing skills and how I love to edit to the music. I created this using Final Cut Pro X and it took me roughly 2 full days to plan and complete.
Hope you enjoy!
This post is so overdue it's ridiculous but I'm going to write it anyhow! In this post I'll be talking about the things I did and the places I went on my first ever trip to New York City back in July 2016. It's always been my dream to visit this city and now that it's finally happened I can give an insight into what it was like and some tips that I learnt. We didn't end up doing every single thing we had planned as some of them were too far to travel to, but we got the main things we wanted done!
Time Square (West 42nd to West 47th Street)
This was, naturally, the first place we went and I just remember feeling like I was in a movie looking up at the huge billboards and standing on the top of the red stairs taking in the view. Honestly, after we went there once we avoided this at all costs (apart from passing through it). It was just so busy and with the heat it was all too much. It gets especially busy leading up to 9pm and after which was to be expected.
Rockefeller Centre (Top of the Rock Observation Deck) $32
We decided to do this instead of the Empire State due to the fact that you get a view of the Empire State Building itself from the Rockefeller. The view from the observation desk is absolutely amazing and definitely worth the money! I went up at around 11:45am-12:00pm but I would suggest going around 7/8 to catch the sun setting.

Central Park
I absolutely loved this park and was definitely one of my highlights. We began at the entrance closest to the Plaza Hotel (we did go inside) and just worked our way through. We didn't go through the whole entire park as we were walking and it was way too hot! Places we visited within the park included Gapstow Bridge, Bethesda Fountain, Dairy (mid park at 65th street), The Mall, Boating Lake (all of which were used to film the movie "Enchanted."), and the Alice in Wonderland statue.

Big Bus Tour (Uptown and Downtown) $55
Definitely worth the money as it took us through Uptown, Midtown and Downtown via 2 different buses (we had to change). Also the guides were amazing as they provided us with so many facts about the places we passed.
Brooklyn + Brooklyn Bridge
We ventured over to Brooklyn twice as loved it so much the first time we just had to go back. I loved the vibe there and it was definitely more chilled than in the city. DUMBO is a really cute neighbourhood within Brooklyn that we walked around and explored. The second time we went we decided to visit Windsor Terrace which is Peter Parker's house they used to film 'The Amazing Spiderman' and it was so surreal seeing it in real life.
Other notable places we went:

1. Lindos
This is an absolutely stunning town on the Greek island of Rhodes that I visited once - it took around an hour to get there via boat from our hotel beach. We explored the villages of Lindos, walked past all the small cute souvenir shops, relaxed on Lindos beach for a while which had very clear water and incredibly soft sand, as well as the clifftop acropolis which was incredibly hard to walk up (especially in the heat).
2. WaterPark (website)
A really fun water park located in Faliraki, a resort village in Greece. There are so many big (and little) water slides, as well as a wave pool and a lazy river to be experienced. It costs only €24 for a ticket and is most definitely worth it for everything they have to offer.
3. Paddle Paradise: SUP Adventures
This was my first time trying paddle boarding and it was honestly so much fun (and a little scary). Me and my dad booked it through our hotel and they picked us up from there and took us to the location. The package we got with Paddle Paradise was really good as it included all of the necessary equipment and gear we needed, a few snacks and some water, and the use of a snorkel and mask. It lasted around 4 hours and was pretty easy to get the hang of - it was so scary falling in though.
4. The Palace of the Grand Master (also known as the Kastello)
This is a medieval castle built at the highest point in the city of Rhodes and is one of the few examples of Gothic architecture in Greece. It costs €6 for entry and was all in all quite interesting to see.
5. Kallithea Springs
This is a very popular beach resort at the bay of Kallithea - it was only a 5 minute drive from our hotel. We didn't spend the whole day here but it was so beautiful, there were so many different paths leading to the beach, bars, restaurants, and even hall area that is used often for weddings and other events.
