concept 85

I think Leonardo Dicaprio is the most romantic actor of all time. I think the most romantic actress of all time is Charlene Tilton. If these to actors worked together in a film, I think the characters would understand each other since they are both romantic actors.

concept 83

3. If my character had the magical power to go backward and forward in time, it would be harder for her or him to live without modern conveniences and yet have knowledge of events to come because he or she would have to get ready for the future and the events to come.

concept 84

3. The scariest movie I've ever seen was Devil. The element that got me scared the most was the shadows of the devil that appeared randomly in the film and the darkness of the whole movie and the stopping of the elevator that made the movie more intense. The relationship between the movie and I had was the stopping of the elevator once when I was at the mall with my mom. The elevator stopped out of random for like five seconds and kept on going. First thing that popped out of my head was the movie Devil.

concept 81

1.Three sci-fi movies in which I was surprised by the ending were The Mist,  The Descent and Jason X.

italian Neorealism and independent cinema

Yes, Brick and Do The Right Thing have some of the elements of Italian Neorealism. After watching The Bicycle Thief, I think Italian Neorealism inspired American Independent cinema by visions of society not usually found in the mainstream and not having a clear beginning, middle and end. Both have these facts in common.

2. The most upsetting thing that I have ever experienced is witnessing animal abuse. I am totally against animal abuse. I've seen puppies being kicked and it really hurts me inside that abusing them even existed. Still today, the abuse exists and I realized there are very cold hearted people in the world because they think animals don't have feelings but they do, just like people.

concept 78

3. If the audience knew nothing about my story before they came and watch it, I would have to say that that right in between the beginning and the middle the audience would know what kind of movie I have written.

concept 77

1.The most expensive elements in the film I'd like to write about are the stunt doubles, because you always have to pay the actors extra. They are brave enough to do a stunt that could be dangerous that the original actors don't want to do.

Concept 74

1. I enjoy movies that make me laugh because I could watch them with family and we all could have a good time eating popcorn. I also like seeing my family happy and smiling, and with movies that make me laugh puts smiles on my families faces.

concept 75

3. My favorite teen-oriented weekly program was That's So Raven. This program reflects many teens who have fun with their friends and family and explains how family is very important. There were some problems and discussion, but that doesn't affect the love they had for each other.

concept 76

3. For The Princess Bride the elements are a classy fairy tale, with swordplay, giants, and evil prince, a beautiful princess, and some kissing.

Review of Characterization.

The summary of concept 16 is basically the relation between the audience and the characters. Is there any kind of things or characteristics that we relate with the character? Can we see ourselves in their shoes is basically the main point.

concept 17: Relatable characters come from everywhere- Use the people you've met. Take aspects from each person.

concept 35: When losing isn't an option- obstacles are good, but they have to figure out a solution by the end.

concept 38: Characters enhance conflict. Conflict fueled by traits. Foil

concept 39: Characters change because of conflict.

African-Americans and Movies

In modern day society, African-Americans now play major roles in movies. Before segregation, blacks did not have lead roles and were usually in the 'backgrounds' of movies. Now in modern day, there are many famous black actors such as: Denzel Washington and Will Smith. In many ways they have improved, and there are many inspiring heart warming movies which even extend to very well constructed comedic movies. All in all, it was increased over a big percentage.

concept 53

3. the secret the audience will have that the characters themselves don't  is the criticism.

2.The secret will be that my friends boyfriend kissed her sister and the park when I was walking my dog. The clue I would give her is telling her that someone never knows what could or when to another person that they love.

1. Transformer 3, Paranormal activity and Final Destination were three movies i've seen in which the audience was several steps ahead of the people in the plot. The writers used different types of methods to create lack of awareness to get the audience to know further more about the story.

concept 52

3. I believe the audience wouldn't understand my film without sound because my film involves a lot of communication from one character to another and without sound the audience won't understand what one character is telling the other and they won't know what the story is about.

Rio Bravo reflection

1. Yes, the movie followed the conventions of a Western.
2. The call to adventure is
I don't think there is a refusal.
3.The characters are stereotypical western characters and each one had there sense of style of being a cowboy and personality.
4.The pace of the movie was working for me a little. I didn't really understand  the movie but only a little bit.
5. The actions sequence were great I liked the last gun fight when the old man threw the dynamites and the other guy shoot at them while the dynamites were in the air.

concept 45

1. Psycho, Vertido and The King's Speech are three movies in which an ordinary character's life is challenged by extraordinary events or circumstances.

concept 43

3. The events that caused my hero to be good instead of bad was the mother  of my hero was in need of help and my hero helped her in any way possible because his father abandoned them when he was a little kid and he always loved his mother because she did everything for him.
The villain comes out bad instead of good because his father has treated him really bad since he was a little kid. He was very strict with him and taught him that if he doesn't get what he wants the easy way, he'll get it the hard way.

concept 41

3. in my film the protagonist's point of no return is to not fall in the traps of his ex to sleep with her. The outcome would likely be that he will loose the love of his life for being with her sister if the protagonist does not commit to this course of action. Many family members of the protagonist would be impacted by the decision he makes.
