Concept 93 # 2

I feel using someone from the past in a commercial,tv show. or movie is smart, but then I feel it is sort of wrong, Because they don't have "permission" from the person. If they were alive , then they wouldn't be aloud to use them without that persons permission. Im pretty sure that if someone is being used in media and the family is still around, the family will be a little bothered by it . Because the person isn't alive, but they should have asked the family for their permission.

Concept 92 #1

I go toward more of the "fun" movies! About life, and living like there is no tommorow. Because I like that style of living, its true to live life because we only live it once. If you really think about it its true. I also like the stories with a meaning, or a lesson. A moral to be exact. It wows me, when the movie is over because you realize the twist in which the movie was trying to make and how it all gets put back together.

Concept 91 #3

One thing i'm dreading about becoming an adult is no more free education. Also a lot of bills and payments to make and necessities also buying personal things like clothes etc. it all adds up .

Concept 88 #1

An issue at my high school, is not having enough spirit. I would make a documentary on schools having different kinds of spirit, and rules of different schools , like what schools can and cant do. Like smashing a junkyard car to pump up the school and football players, or schools not being able to do a lot things very spirited limited on the rules.

Concept 87 #3

If I was an explorer my quest would be to find the missing dad of  a young girl heartbroken by the murder of her family and the kidnapping of her father. I would go through obstacles of looking for the missing father, and finding a lot of families and single people. Not knowing that the family wasn't really murdered , it was thought that they were murdered and they were right in front of him a couple of times.

Concept 86 #1

The most thrilling movie i've seen is incidious. Because it took time to get to the suspenseful scenes.

Concept 85 #2

 I believe its better to have not loved at all, than to have love and lost because you have to live with the pain forever. If you don't love at all then you cant feel the pain at all.

Concept 84 #

The scariest movie i've seen was arachnaphobia because there was a WHOLE BOAT LOAD of spiders. and I absolutely hate spiders, that I will cry and run. I hate spiders because they are so creepy and crawly and look gross, and they can kill with one bite!!

Concept 83 #3

If my character could go back and forth in time it would be harder for her to live in the future , because she is very old fashioned and wouldn't be used to the hardship of the future and the accessories they have.

Reflect on The Bicycle Thief

Three Facts

  • 19th century literary movement started by Alberto Moravia, Italo Calvino, Cesare Pavese and Pier Paolo Pasolini. 
  • Jean Renoir's Toni (1935) and Alessandro Blassetti's 1860 (1934) influenced neo-realism
  • Andre Bazin called no-realism a cinema of "fact" and reconstituted reportage 
In brick the characters were more ambiguous and complex.
Visions of society not usually found in the mainstream. 
Relies more on heavy dialogue than Hollywood films. 

In Brick there was vVisions of society not usually found in Mainstream
Not afraid to make the audience aware of what there watching in the film 
Relies more on heavily dialogue than Hollywood film 


Neorealism inspiring independent cinema. 
Independent films are shot in mostly rural , working class areas, and focuses on the people and ordinary life, without screen editing, Neorealism is based on that.

Concept 80 #2

The saddest movie I have seen is "Remember Me". This movie changed my outlook on life because it showed me how important people are in life. And that every moment counts, not to waste one minute with the person you love cause they might not be there the next day. It made me appreciate the people I care about around me.

concept 77 #2

If I were writing a story in an earlier time period, I would use simple scenes and settings. Not so much of outrageous backgrounds or unusual scenes that would cost a lot of money. But make the plot very interesting, and have a great twist !

Reflection on Do the Right Thing

I thought the movie was a little odd, but it had a good purpose. It was a different style of other movies, but it shows the reality of life. I liked the movie all in all. It had a good point, it was about love and hate. There is some questionable parts

Concept 74 #1

Films that make me cry are stories about losing family members in a tragic accident or war unexpectedly with a good life. Love Stories make me feel happy, Movies about friends makes me want to go hang out with my friends, or if they end out with a bad ending it makes me feel sad..

Review of Characterization

Concept 16 - Relatable characters give a story an audience 


Concept 17 - Relatable characters come from everywhere. Use people you've met. "passed experiences" 


 Concept 35 -When losing isn't an option - obstacles are good but they have to figure it out eventually

 

Concept 38 -Conflict grows out of a character
 Working with different types of people, your friends are one thing. But when it comes to working in a group with different people things are difficult. Like working on a movie , your stuck in working with people with all kinds of different ideas being shot at. 



Concept 39 - Character grows out of conflict
characters have to evolve with whats happening 

Concept 40 - Way a character surpasses a challenge itself. Hero's Journey

Techniques used from script in movie

Camera is not a camera - looking in the eyes of Jeff
Use humor to add tension - stella says I don't want to see any "part" of her
Warning may cause macguffin: clues for the body
Suspense is information: when the detective says Thorwald is ready to take them on a trip to the East River
Surprise and Twist : when jeff gets hung out the window

Use Humor to add Tension

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

Keep the story simple: linear and streamlined, story simple but characters complex

Characters Must Break Cliche: List breaks into apartment (unlikely) Thorvald respectable murderer

Use humor to add tension: Stella is talking about blood being splattered on walls, bacon is being eaten with blood dripping off it.

Two things happening at once:  Two things happening to distract viewers
different things going on in the windows

Suspense is information: dog returning to garden

Surprise and Twist: son is mom in pshyco, rear windwo has moments where thorvald doesn't seem to be murdrer

Warning may cause MacGuffin: Drives story forward ! the thing everybody wants psycho -$40,000

Hitchcock's suspense

Techniques used for Rear Window: 
1) Frame for Emotion 
by facing the camera to the object like the man who "killed" his wife
2) Camera is not a Camera
Following the suspenseful parts everywhere it went
3) Dialogue means nothing
When the main character is sleeping, and stuff happens

Concept 66 #1

One thing I said that was mis-interpreted was when I was talking about somebody's dress which was very exotic,someone who overheard took it the wrong way as if I was saying I disliked the dress, I confronted the girl who wore the dress, and told her it was miscommunication that I actually really liked the dress, and I was going to recommend it for someone to wear.

How did they add suspense?

They added suspense by not showing the faces of the nurses and doctors and making Ms. Tyler seem like she has a horrible looking face.

concept 62 #1

If I were to make a film of the late Rosa Parks I would use flashbacks of different types of racial segregation. Not just Rosa Parks being refused to get on the bus, but other incidents and end with Rosa Parks and the life changing decision that effected everyone in the end.
