CTV
with Ukwanni "Man In The Cape"
9th
December 2003
Are
you all ready for this! Ukwanni, "Man In The
Cape" is back to bring you more of what's hot.
And there's lots of heat right now here in the Cape.
Summer is almost at its peak and the beaches are showing
it. Brazilian string bikinis not mention. The fashions
people are wearing around town also echo the change
in seasons. So, if you're ready, come along with me
for a leisurely stroll. We'll take a walk around one
of the most amazing gardens on earth. Let's go!
Here
we are as we step down from our private air conditioned
cyber limousine. You are standing at the base of the
famous Jan Smutts memorial statue located at the far
end of Adderley Street facing Table mountain. In front
of us is a sprawling complex of gardens, museums,
galleries, the national library and more. When you
visit Cape Town and want to see the most eye-popping
stuff the Jan Smutts Gardens should be on your list.
It's all packed within this area. The thing I like
most, as you may well have guessed by now, is the
fact many of these facilities offer free programmes
if not outrageously nominal fees. Finally, after you
have visited all the galleries, planetarium shows,
and events at Parliament, you are in the right spot
to enjoy a fabulous lunch out doors. You can choose
to sit on the grass or on one of the many benches
situated beneath overhanging shade trees. The views
of Table Mountain are breath taking from anywhere
in the gardens as well.
Now
for a more serious turn. I know while the vast majority
of you are seasoned film goers, there are many who
need to be introduced to the finer points of film
enjoyment. The first thing I suggest, especially if
the film is one you really want to see or have been
waiting to see, is to go along. Then, later perhaps,
you can take your friends. This way, you can fully
enjoy the film and all its subtleties uninterrupted.
What to look for when you are out taking in this long
awaited screening? First thing you must pay close
attention to is the initial mood of the music as well
as any opening graphics or scenery. A lot is being
said about the whole of the film at this point. In
actuality the primary "Mood" or "Tone"
is being set upon the opening sequence of shots. The
very next thing to note is camera angles and shots.
This is closely followed by plot/character development
and finally, interaction between the characters. This
is of course is a very broad treatment of a much more
detailed process of critically viewing a film. But,
if followed will lead to more enjoyment as well as
enhanced understanding of the over all film.
I
hope our little cyber stroll through the gardens has
left you refreshed and ready for more. Unfortunately,
at this point, I must bid you all a due, Bon voyage,
fare well! Our time together has evaporated and I
must be off to my next exotic local form whence I
shall bring you more news and views here in the Cape.
Until then, Ukwanni and CTV wishing your place in
the summer sun sizzle.
