Senior Strings and Richard Tognetti AO:
Senior strings and some Year 12 HSC students were very fortunate to have Richard Tognetti AO workshop
some of their pieces. Richard is currently the Director and Leader of the Australian Chamber Orchestra and
kindly volunteered his time and expertise. This wonderful opportunity had many of the music teachers
observing the workshop to learn as much as they could from him. His Stradivarius violin was also a delight
to hear.

How Hollywood will collapse by the end of this year
By Lochie Stevens
If you haven’t been alive for the past decade, you
may not have realised that there has been a major
implosion in cinema. Of the top of your head, think
of five movies that have or will be released this
year… Now think of five movies from last year. I
can almost guarantee that at least one of the movies
you have selected is a super hero movie, one is
probably a high budget blockbuster like Star Wars
or the Jungle Book, and a Disney movie. And these
movies are without a doubt great. Seeing your
favourite web-slinger in Captain America Civil War
is absolutely amazing. Problem is, it’s
unsustainable. What I mean when I say that is there
are so many of these blockbuster movies being
released each year and in the years to come that
there are going to be some that will fall short of
making any reasonable profit.
An average Australian person would go to the
movies approximately five times a year. That
means that there are five of the six hundred movies
each year that will be seen by these people. Now, if
you exclude all the indie releases, independent
films, and small relatively unknown movies that
have limited release that leaves about a few
hundred movies that may be available to these
people. If you recall the top five movies that you
selected for 2015 when I asked you before, these
are most probably going to be the same picks for
the average cinema goer. That means, that there are
a more than a couple hundred that will not be
watched therefore making a smaller profit.
However, the appeal of these high budget
blockbuster movies has caused many of these lower
budget films to be left with very little return on
their film investments. For studios, this whole idea
is not good in encouraging them to fund smaller
scale movies that have a smaller market. While,
there’s another problem. In the past five years we
have seen a major rise in the amount of high budget
films being produced. And you know what that
means. The smaller movies that would be making
little profit become major productions like Batman
V Superman or Warcraft: The Beginning.
This formula in film cannot last until 2020. It
simply doesn’t work. You could think of it like the
income gap in Australia. The rich are getting richer
Friday, 17th June 2016
while the poor are getting poorer. Same can be
said for Hollywood. Movies like Captain America
or the Avengers are making more and more while
a greater percentage of smaller scaled films are
earning extremely small profits. Back in 2013
Steven Spielberg predicted that this was going to
happen when he said: "That's the big danger, and
there's eventually going to be an implosion — or a
big meltdown. There's going to be an implosion
where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen
mega budget movies are going to go crashing into
the ground, and that's going to change the
paradigm."
If you look at the amount of movies last year in
the first quarter that had made over 300 million
dollars there were only two (Avengers Age of
Ultron and Furious 7), and the amount of films
that landed between 100 to 300 million was seven
(Mad Max, Cinderella, Fifty Shade of Grey).
Compare that with 2016 in the first five months
has seen five movies making over 300 million
dollars (Zootopia, Jungle Book, Dead pool) and
guess what, only one movie in the 100 to 300
million dollar bracket (Kung Fu Panda 3). Within
only a year there has been such a drastic change in
the box office that a crash is only inevitable,
because the movies that are scheduled to release
later this year are predominately high budget
films. They can’t all win.
Thing is, spectacular directors like Steven
Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan
and others alike are finding difficulty getting
studios to fund their projects. Spielberg stated that
his 2012 film Lincoln nearly became an HBO
release because nobody wished to fund it. But
somehow, amongst all this you have movies like
Fruit Ninja getting funded 80 million dollars to be
adapted into films. Even a PEZ movie, that lollie
that had a big head at its end, has been given
millions of dollars to be made into a movie. A
PEZ movie! But not a Spielberg one.
I guess what I am really trying to say is that this
Hollywood Crash is inevitable. There is nothing
we can do to stop it from happening. And it will
happen sometime between this year and next. But
when it does, I hope you will be prepared.

It is always good to come to the end of a term with some holidays looming. Holidays are a wonderful
opportunity to spend extended time with family and friends. Of course with so many students from so
many different backgrounds and homes, these holidays will bring a myriad of activities. Some will stay at
home, others will travel widely. New sites and new experiences will await us all as we break from the daily
routines of school. After the busyness of so many activities on offer at Shore, a well- deserved break is
anticipated.
This term involved academic exams, academic assessments, the continuation of the winter games program,
co-curricular activities such as debating and plays, Cadets each week for our older students, boarding
outings, fund raising activities for those in need, Chapel services, a boarders’ dance, pastoral care
programs, homework at night, boarders Bible study, service activities and of course time with friends
relaxing. It certainly is a busy place. But above all of this, as we reflect on the term just past may we also
reflect on how we relate to each other, to develop and grow the relationships that we have.
I do hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday break.

First XI
The 1st XI played against St Joseph’s College in a mid-week game last Wednesday in lieu of
the washout from the previous weekend. Shore won 3-1 with two goals from Charlie Cox
and a penalty from Macsen Adare.
While the boys made a great comeback, they were slow to find their natural rhythm,
realising that it is simple football that brings about the goals not fancy footwork. Watching
that day were the 13s and 14s who provided much vocal support for the boys. They look
forward to playing Round 3 against Sydney Boys High this weekend.
Second XI
Shore suffered a 1-0 loss in the second round of the GPS. Though they had a fair amount of
the ball and put together some great sequences of passing, Shore were unable to find the
back of the net. They defended well, but were punished by a clinical counter-attack from
Joeys after losing the ball in midfield. Fraser McKinlay was a constant threat to the
opposition because of some great attacking runs down the wing. Overall a strong
performance from the 2nd XI and the side will be keen for a win this Saturday against
Sydney Boys High.
