If a producer was looking for a family script and my worst enemy had a great script i wouldnt tell him about it. I probably wouldnt be talking to him in the first place. If my bestfriend had a great script i would help him meet the producer, i would want me best friend to succeed.

Concept 93

3) Parodies are very popular and enjoyed by many. A parody is "An imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect." I enjoy parodies a lot, although a lot of times parodies are over rated because they arent as funny as peoplr think they are.

Concepts 91 92

I am not looking forward to paying bills. I know i need to be aware of credit cards and debt. I need to discipline myself to manage my money right and spend it on the right things.

I like all sorts of movies, pretty much every kind. My favorite movie out right now is Think Like A Man. Its a romantic comedy, i really enjoy romantic comedies for the great story and the comedy that goes along with it.

Being an explorer would be the most entertaining job because you never know what youll witness. It can either be sad, amazing, heartwarming, or depressing.

#1
I love the teachers at Gunderson, but their are very few teachers that make it a lot harder for students. I feel like they shouldnt be teaching because they cant deal with thier problems apprioprately. It gets in the way of kids academics and ruins other kids days.

Concept 86

One of the most thrilling most suspenseful movies ive seen is irobot. I thought it was very suspenseful because i didnt know what would happen next. I thought it was unpredictable and very thrilling.

Concept 85

#2
There is a lot to be said about love. Is it better to have love lost than to have loved lost than to have never loved at all? I believe that its good to have love lost but they both have their ups and downs. Some say loved lost will make you stronger and wiser but you will br traumatized by the broken heart. Having never loved at all protects you from the pain of the heartbreak but will keep you wondering for the rest of your life.

Concept 83 &84

3) it would be easier for my character to go back in time and live that life, just like back to the future he would buy an almanac to bet and win just to make it interesting. He would stop major disasters, and make the world a better place not knowing it messes up te future.

Hangover
Knocked up
Superbad
Harold and kumar
21 jump street
Crazy stupid love
The change up
The dilema
Hall pass
Your highness

Some of the films are just comedy and really no story but a lot of them have great stories. Crazy stupid love is my favorite because it was funny with a great storyline and twist. They all tell jokes that are unique. The different stories have different joked which really make me laugh

Concept 78

#2
I think its a lot easier to stay on topic with a drama topic. A lot of the time comedy films try hard to make jokes and go off topic a lot. The storylines to comedies are random a lot of times and endings dont end so great. Uts a lot easier to make a dramatic situation then make funny situations that go along with a great story

Concept 69, 70, 71, 72, 73

Concept 69
3. If i was writing a film with dialects my resources would be just listening to people talk and observing the way they speak. Watch some other movies with accents and dialects.

Concept 70
1. I think its a brilliant idea to write movies from other perspectives of old stories. It would be very different because everyone has their own story. The ending would be the same though, and least it should be. If it were from the Wolfs perspective it would portray the wolf as the good character, and make the good characters from the original story the bad character.

Concept 71
2. Jose Rizal is a filipino historical figure. He was executed by the spanish in 1896. He was captured and made the people of the Philippines proud. He never gave up and gave his life for the filipinos. The plot point would be used where this all took place.

Concept 72
3. A drama I used to watch was Teen Wolf. It was very interesting and there were many interesting conflicts. There was also a lot of twists and turns. They extended it well and kept the audience wanting more and leaving them with unanswered questions that lead to more unanswered questions.

Concept 73
4. My favorite hero is Flash, and my favorite villain is Joker. If they were in a movie together the plot would be that Flash makes friends with Joker before he is evil, but after one day when Flash gets "popular" Joker gets mad and turns into a villain. They fight each other and in the end they become good friends again and both save the world from an even bigger villain.

African Americans are any type of character, they are often the bad kid, like in love stories with white girls. They have a hard time getting accepted by the white family. I havent watched many moves from a long time ago but the old movies i did see i noticed them being stereotyped into the "bad guy"

Identify Suspense Techniques in Script for Rear Window

Dialogue Means Nothing- Use facial expressions, have one character not listening to other, dialogue can be a lie.

Jeep the Story Simple- Linear and streamlined, story simple but characters complex

Characters Must Break Cliche- Lisa breaks into the apartment, Thorvald respectable murder

Use Humor to Add Tension- characters in ironic situation,

Two things Happening at Once- distract audience, Thorvald hiding the knife, Miss Lonelyhearts

Suspense is Information- The dog returning to the garden

Surprise and Twist- Son is the mom in Psycho, Rear Window has moments where Thorvald looks innocent,

Warning May Cause MacGuffin- Drives the story forward, the thing that everybody wants, Psycho- $40,000

Part II: Label which techniques are used in scene from Rear Window- Pushes him out the window (surprise and twist)

Concept 66 #1

In high school rumors spread really fast and most of the time aren't true. There was a rumor that i cheated on tests and homework. I don't know how it started but the people that knew me and ask me know that im not but I cant really persuade everyone because theres too much people and a lot of them wont believe anything.

Concept 55

1. "I have never felt freely to leave to hang out with my friends." This character will step up and start being responsible. Get a job and move out of his house so that he can go out whenever he wants. He will step up and tell his parents he's moving out.

Concept 54

In the Film that I was going to write, the biggest surprise is that the cowboy shoots the other cowboy but finds out he too was shot and drops and dies.

Concept 52

I saw two kids in front of the gym at school. A young couple, boy and a girl. The boy was tall and wore a jacket and sweats because it was cold, and so did the girl. I didn't notice any accessories other than earrings on the girl. They seemed to be together for a long time because they would hold each other and kiss. I didn't notice much speech but there was laughing, I think they were just enjoying each others company.

Monday, January 23, 2012

concept 51

My favorite three villains are bullseye, magneto, joker.

Bullseye suggests that he does not miss. I believe that it originates from the game of darts and when you hit the middle its called a bullseye.

Magneto suggests that he has something to do with magnets and in the movie he has telekinetic powers to only metals.

Joker suggests that he is a clown. In the movie he is a clown, and never takes anything seriously. He is always laughing even when his life is on the line.

I wouldn't change any of their names, each of their names perfectly explain the type of character they are.

#2
Olivia and Dejohnjohn are set up on a blind by her good friend Chris. Olivia is interested in seeing new people so i hooked her up with my friend she has never seen, and the same for Dejohnjohn. I set up a nice dinner and i blindfold both of them allowing them to talk to each other but keep them guessing on their appearance. They both talk endlessly and really enjoy each others company. As they talk they want to see each other more and more. Towards the end of the night I undo the blindfolds and their faces glow up. They are really attracted to each other.

Rio Bravo Reflection

1) Did the movie follow the conventions of a Western?
Yes the movie did follow the conventions of a Western with the scenery, the conflicts, and the accent.

2) What is the call to adventure? Is there a refusal?
When Berdett brought mercenaries to attack at them, but they fought back.

3 Describe the main characters? Are they stereotypical Western characters? What makes them unique?
I think the western cowboys are stereotypical with the accent, the lines and catch phrases. Also with the dangerous violent ways of solving problems.

4) Describe the pace of the movie. Does it work or not work for you?
I personally thought the movie was slow. It didn't work for me as much as it would have if it were a bit faster.

5) Describe the actions sequences in the movie.
When they are in the bar and they get the guy on the second floor. When they cut from them throwing explosives and shooting to the house where they shoot.

Concept 45

Cinderella story, Mission Impossible 4, and sherlock holmes are all movies that the main character faces many conflicts.

Concept 44

If I was a superhero I would want my best friend to be my sidekick. If I was a sidekick I would want to be my best friends side kick, because we would work together and neither of us would really be the sidekick. It would be a more equal.

concept 42

1)
The girl from inception when she first tries it she hates it and is really scared so she leaves but later in the movie she comes back because theres nothing like it and she actually enjoys the experience.

Concept 41

2)
If I was a hero with the option to save 9 out of 10 people or saving the on person and risking the chance of saving them all I would like to do my best and sacrifice my life instead of the 10 other people. If I couldn't sacrifice my life, I would save the one person and drop the odds, and deal with the consequences.
