Letter to Christina

Dear Christina,

In my film studies class I have learned much, much about film, film techniques, styles of film, and how to write a film. I have acquired skills that I thought I would never learn. I know how to properly create a screenplay. I also know the basic steps on how to write a film. I believe that with the skills I have attained by taking this screenwriting course and by reading your book, I would be able to create my own short film if I wanted to. I'd like to thank you and congratulate you for writing a great book.

Sincerely,
Vidal Yanez

Concept 99

I would not give James Cameron the script and I would stick to the small independent production company because that way the script will go the way I want it and it wont be severely changed. If I give the script to a famous producer then I'd have to accept any changes that they'd want to do.

Concept 90

My favorite music video is the music video to the song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. This video takes the viewer through foothills with "tangerine trees as marmalade skies" each hill is a different color and has pictures with in them. The entire video is essentially like a trip on LSD, what the song is about.

Concept 89

The most important trait I would give Jack Sparrow in an animated series of The Pirates Of The Caribbean is the power of incredible fighting skills.

Concept 88

I'd say the most controversial subject at our school currently would have to be the elections. Many people are running for office and the halls are littered with propaganda.

Concept 87

I believe it is easier to write an action film in the future because it opens so many doors to the amount of technology and settings used. Using a future time period, one can make space travel as common as driving is now, opening up doors for intergalactic conflict.

Concept 86

The most thrilling movie I have seen is Man On Fire. The movie always has different outcomes and uses foreshadowing and dramatic irony in order to keep the audience guessing about the outcome of the film.
