Concept 40 #2

At school, there is a lot of people I see that have potential to succeed. I think what holds them back is the lack of drive. I don't have any confidence in themselves academically so they don't really try. Maybe if they actually thought about the future, then they could see that they would be better off with an education.

Concept 39 #1-3

1. I am most afraid of the unknown, dying. On order for me to face that fear I would be in a situation that involved my family.
2. What I am really nervous about is speaking out loud and being put on the spot. This is currently holding me back.
3. The hero of my film is afraid of her husband because he is abusive and threatening. She will finally find the courage somehow and overcome this fear and finally leave him.

Concept 38 #1 & 3

1. There is a situation in which I get into arguments with my moms boyfriend because we have conflicting personalities. For instance, I am hard headed and so is he so we get into arguments all the time.

3. Hero- caring, scared, unsure/not confident
Villain- mean, strong, dominant
They seem to make the perfect personalities that seem to fit. But they actually but heads.

Concept 37 #1&3

1. One movie the completely shocked me at the end is Memento. The nonlinear structure is used in this film to make it more interesting and least likely to guess the ending. Another movie that surprised me in the end is Drive. The film maker makes it seem like the main character is undefeatable. And at the ending, he dies. The last movie that had a surprising ending was Scream 4. It made it seem like Jill was the innocent when in fact she was the killer.

3. I have never played a trick on someone and I seriously doubt that I could do it to an audience. Maybe..

Concept 36 #3

If the character is lonely, then they could adopt a kid, maybe there is a glitch in the system and the kid goes to another family.

If the character needs money, maybe they can get a job but then get fired.

If the character the character plays the lottery and ends up winning but then the taxes take 90% of the money.

Concept 35

1. Norma Rae- 8

It's a Wonderful Life- 7

Harry Potter- 10

Star Wars- 6

Dave- 6

Joan of Arc- 9

Robin Hood- 7

The Client- 8

Silkwood- 9

Spy Game- 6

2. I think that Harry Potter was my 10. It's because he has to go through a lot, I mean 8 sequels are enough. He has to face different problems with each. If I was in his predicament I would probably make the same decisions as he did to save the wizard world.

3. The last time I took a risk was buying a lottery ticket. It was for both myself and others, the consequence of my action was that I lost a dollar. The final outcome was not satisfying because I didn't win. It was a waste of money and time.

Quickwrite

I have seen the movie Vantage Point. It is about the "President" getting shot. It is nonlinear because they show the same event over and over again, with different perspectives, each time revealing more and more information and details. The perspectives are different because each point of view shows information not revealed before. It's uncertain what happens next until you see the next point of view.

Concept 34 #2

If I could posses any superhero power I think it would be to fly. If a villain had these powers, The superhero would have to have the same powers to defeat them: they have to be able to fly to stop the villain.

Concept 32

For a 30 second commercial, I would show an earthquake hitting a family at night. Everyone is woken up in their sleep and run out of their house to see the roof crumbling down. All their goods and treasures are torn away.
