I. About the Clothing Brand

Burberry is one of Britain's leading fashion brands.
Through the apprenticeship of the tailor, Thomas Burberry founded Burberry
at the age of 21 in 1856.
Initially there was specializing in outdoor clothing.In 1870, Burberry developed into a large-scale retail store due to quality commitment and fabric innovation.
In 1879, he invented a new material superior in durability and waterproof called gabardine with a hint of coat that farmers wore on clothes to prevent dirt.
Gabardine, an innovative fabric that is highly breathable and resistant to bad weather, revolutionized the traditional heavy, uncomfortable outerwear.
In 1888 he acquired a patent, monopolizing its manufacturing rights until 1917.
In 1891 he placed the headquarters and stores of Thomas Burberry & Sons at 30 Haymarket in London.
During the Bohr War of 1895, Burberry produced a coat "Thai Rocken Coat" with no button to lock with a string for a British officer, the predecessor of the trench coat.
And The brand that made the trench coat for the first time is Burberry.
In 1924, I advertised the design used as the lining of the coat as "Burberry check". 
This caused a big boom.
And Burberry began using the horse's knight logo since 1901.　"PRORSUM" in the flag means "in front" in Latin.

III. My Reaction

A. Reaction Point - accessory

• Accessory is something such as a bag, belt or jewellery that you wear.
• Mufflers and bags and watches entered Burberry logo
• Burberry checks and Burberry logos are included in accessories such as mufflers, bags and watches. I can prove that it is proper and that it can not be cheap.

B. Reaction Point - fabric texture

• Fabric texture is how a fabric feels or looks.
• Clothing fabrics selling such as trench coat use good ones.
• For example Burberry's trench coat is made of light material and thin material, but it's an outerwear that can keep it cool.

C. Reaction Point - apparel

• Apparel is clothing that serves as dress or decoration.
• Burberry clothes are good in shape.
• For example Burberry dresses are in a style that looks good in style, from casual to evening. Wall paper prints, Jacquards and tulle add accents to the color and pattern inspired by the runway. Elegant evening dresses and gowns are tailored with delicate silk and lace. The style for daytime is finished in a soft cotton and a relaxed silhouette.

D. My General Opinion

I got my mother's sneaky Burberry watch and got interested in this brand.
The product of this brand is not cheap at all, but I understood that it is designed to make it as cool as it is using a good fabric.
I thought the designers who make products that makes people feel good are amazing.
I also had longing for the products of this brand.
When I became an adult and started to earn money, I thought that I would like to buy this brand's item.

My Featured Film

"Alice in Wonderland "

I. About the Film

This film was made in 1903.
The silent film adaptation of Lewis Carroll's novel "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" directed and written by W.W. Young and starring Viola Savoy as Alice.
Original music composed by Marco De Boni in the film.
This movie is a monochrome / silent 8-minute short film made in 1903 five years after the author's death by the author Luis Carroll, followed by the development of technology and media, it has been made into a length.

And the first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National rchive from severely damaged materials. 
Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow,
and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations.
In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman.
Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet. With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colors for the first time in over 100 years.
Music: 'Jill in the Box', composed and performed by Wendy Hiscocks.
This restoration was supported by The Headley Trust and The Pilgrim Trust.

IV. My Reaction

A. Reaction Point - Film editing

・Film editing is assembling a complete film that is a unified whole.

・A story that can not be talked to in the real world talks with the main character Alice and 　　advances the story.

・In this story not only humans but also caterpillars, rabbits, cats, flowers are talking with the main character Alice.
It is becoming an important role of this story to embarrass the main character by speaking and entertaining.

B. Reaction Point - setting

・Setting is the context in time and place in which the action of a story occurs.

・The main place in this story is in Alice 's dream.

・The place where the main stories are developed is in Alice 's dream.However, it is not realized that Alice 's hero is also in his dream in a world that is unlikely in reality.

C. Reaction Point - characters

・Characters is persons - or animals or natural forces represented as persons - in a work of literature.

・Besides humans, caterpillars, rabbits, cats, and flowers are strongly individualized, waiting for distinctive speech and characteristic habits.

・The Queen of Hearts is domineering personality, trying to treat a person named Heart's Jack as a felon just by being able to eat his own pie, and Cheshire Cat also has a domineering character.In addition, rabbits and Alice and other serious and modest personality are well transmitted.The story that such characters make up is cohesive and funny.

D. My General Opinion

I have liked this story from olden days and I was watching live-action film and animated movies.
I also read many novels from this story.
I am glad that I can find out about my favorite work.
