Freaks and Geeks questions

1) What do you think about Lindsay now?

I think that Lindsay is struggling a lot with her identity. She is having trouble finding out where she belongs and in turn she is hurting her loved ones.

What are the major plots of the Halloween episode?
 I think that the major plots of the movie were the mother giving cookies, Sam going trick or treating, and Lindsay hanging out with her friends.

How do they all come together at the end?
In the end of the story everyone is sad because they had a bad day. They all had high expectations of Halloween but nothing went as they planned.

Blog # 5 Script revision

In my script the Protagonist buddy says a lot of things that he doesn't have to say and just makes the script longer and it is unnecessary. He talks about the chocolate too often and about what e is going to do to get it and what to do after he gets it. I think that I can cut some stuff out of his dialogue and replace the space in another scene where I  have a person that only has 3 lines. I also have the part where the king tells buddy that there is a "Magical" chocolate arriving and that it could help him out because buddy could find that out on his own. This will keep the readers thinking of what buddy could do for his revenge instead of knowing everything from the beginning.

Concept 8 questions 1 and 3

   If Reese Witherspoon and Orland Bloom were the only people in a movie scene then they would be at home sitting on the couch waiting for the football game to start. They are arguing over whether to watch the football game in 1080p or in 720p  when their unattended food bursts into flames. They don't realize that their house is burning down until the fire is right behind them and they have to make a dramatic escape from their home or be killed in the house fire.

    The lonely mad scientist was reading a newspaper and he saw a section about a man that had 24 eyes and 7 noses. The newspaper article said that the person was being buried in Montgomery Cemetery. He waited until late that night when everyone was asleep and then took off on his skateboard to the Graveyard to get there sooner because he didn't want to be noticed. When he got to the tomb stone he took his notebook out to write a few observations about the mysterious person. When he opened the casket he was surprised because the body was not there.

Blog # 2 Best scene + Concept 7

    My best scene would have to be my second scene because it was action packed. The second scene is also where most of the story unfolded and it was much more detailed than the other scenes. My worst scene would have to be my third scene because it was too short. In that third scene is when the hero finally resolves his conflict and for that scene I only used about half of a page. There is a character that is both introduced in that scene and then they vanish. I think that I could improve my script by adding more detail to it. Even the protagonist is somewhat mysterious because I didn't really describe whether or not he had malicious intentions. I would improve my script by adding more complex dialogue so that the reader will be able to grasp what is happening throughout the script.

                                             Concept # 7
1) A single day- Drake and Josh

2) A week- Pan's Labyrinth

3) Several Months- Cast Away

4) Ten or more years- Forest Gump

 In Cast Away aging is shown through the man. In the movie he starts off with little facial hair and in later scenes he is shown with a big beard to show long periods of time have passed.

Forest Gump shows the passing of time by having the protagonist start off as a little boy and then later in the scenes show an adult character playing his role to show aging.

                             Question # 2
If my movie is only 5 minutes long in "Reel" time the percentage of real time that will be depicted will be 0.35%.

Three favorite High school television shows:

1) Secret Life of the American Teenager.

2) If you really Knew me

3) Fish Hooks

The reason I chose these three television shows is because they show how high school is like from different perspectives. With Fish Hooks the show is more comedic while still addressing the same universal high school topics. With the Secret Life of the American Teenager and If you Really Knew me it shows more of individual struggles of certain people that face while they are in high school. Even though these cases can at times be more extreme people can still relate to them to an extent.
