| What is the main focus of your site? | The main focus of Ramble Film is new DVD releases in New Zealand. I don’t talk about DVDs specifically but I concentrate on reviewing films that are recently released on DVD. I would love to go to the theatre more often but it’s a bit hard when you’re a poor student. |
| What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog? | Not only do I want to share my love for cinema with other film lovers, but I wish to improve on my writing. The only way I’m going to become a better writer is to practice.
On top of this, I’m really hoping to build on my subscriber count and transform my blog into more of a community. I want to encourage discussion in the comments section of each post but I need the audience before that can happen. |
| Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students? | It really depends on the type of post. Reviews for example, I encourage in-depth opinion and discussion from my readers. Other posts, like news for example, are more informative than anything else. |
| How long has this site been active for, and how frequently do you post updates to your site? (Note: sites must be active for at least three months for entry to the LAMB.) | Ramble Film has been active since late 2011 but I’m aiming at posting a lot more often. I’m always busy with university work but if my blog had a decent audience then I believe I would give up more of my time. |
| Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more). | Seriously? I always hate these questions. Okay… I’m going to choose Toy Story because it’s the first film I ever saw in a theatre and grew up watching practically every week. I’m also going to choose Pulp Fiction and The Shining for obvious reasons. |
| Name a movie you hate!! | Pearl Harbor is the first film that popped into my head. |
| How did hear about the LAMB? If it was a LAMB, do you recall which one? | There are a few other blogs I’m a regular reader of, one of these being Cinematic Paradox (a fellow Kiwi film lover and blogger). Stevee over at Cinematic Paradox is a LAMB so I thought it would be worth joining the large community after she suggested I do so. |
| Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above. (optional) | Why do I love film? Film is magical. There’s absolutely nothing like going to a cinema and sitting in a dark room experiencing something everyone else around you is experiencing at the same time. That smell of popcorn, the clicking sound of the film projector… It’s just so beautiful. |
