Concept 13

There are many roads that I wish I had taken. I wish that I would have not purposely failed Algebra 1 in 8th grade. If I would have passed the test, which I knew I would have if I had tried, I would now be in Calculus, or done with my mathematics class period. This parallel life would intersect with my current one daily, but I would just have a difference in coursework and future coursework. If I had passed that test, I would have one less class to worry about in college and I would a better looking transcript.

Freaks and Geeks Reflection

My favorite episode so far has been the last one that we saw called Kim Kelly is my fried. I liked this episode the most because it was really daring and bold. A lot was resolved in this episode and the episode was really comedic as well. Sam, Kelly, Lindsay, and Daniel all resolve their problems in a comedic way. This episode was full of twists and turns.

Script Revision

I believe that I did a good job with most of my dialogue, but I think that this section could use a bit more work.

Tony continues on the freeway towards Tijuana. He is sweating profusely and is visibly terrified. He keeps on rubbing his face nervously. About thirty minutes later he gets a call once again.

I could just say that Tony is extremely nervous and letting the director decide how that is portrayed. 

Freaks and Geeks : Halloween

1. I know that Lindsay is kind hearted and understands and knows when she messed up.

2. The major plots of the halloween episode are : Sam trying to convince his friends to go trick or treating, Lindsay finding a way of ditching her mom to go hang out with her friends, Lindsay tries to fit in with her friends.

3. All the plots come together at the end because Sam and his friends go out trick or treating, Lindsay leaves and goes out with her friends, and by trying to fit in with her newfound friends, Lindsay eggs her little brother Sam in the face.

Passion of the Christ, Avatar, and Star Wars all in one

Jesus is stuck in a futuristic planet named Pandora. He must defeat Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire. Jesus has to use the power, known as the force, to annihilate the Death Star before it annihilates the world as he knows it. Jesus goes through different tests and trials in the jungle of Pandora. He has to fight and defeat all of the bad guys. Jesus, with his immense persuading power, was able to convince some of the bad guys to fight for his side. Using this method he was able to infiltrate the death star and disarm it without major fighting and death.

Concept 8

1. I would set the plot to be a heated exchange between Orlando and Reese. They would be a couple having an argument over a suspicion of adultery. I would set the scene to start off in a parked car in the school parking lot. Then they would get out of the car and continue their argument outside.

3. A doctor, a prison cell, and a notebook, those are the three things I have chosen to write a short about.
The doctor is stuck in a prison cell, convicted of malpractice. He has been taking bribes from patients for early organ transplants, he has also purposely let other patients die just to make sure that he has enough for the bribes. We find this out because he writes a suicide letter stating all that he has done and he asks for forgiveness. The entire short is just of him reminiscing about what he has done in the past. He writes the letter in the notebook he was given.

New scene Freaks and Geeks

Alan flexes his biceps and shows Sam.

High School TV Shows

Saved by the bell is one of my favorites because it is a comedic protrayal of the typical teenager's experience in high school.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is one of my favorite shows because is it very funny.

Concept 7 Brainstormer 1

An example of a story that unfolds in one day would be Romeo and Juliet. A story that takes about a week would be Man on Fire. A story taking several months would be Anger Management. A story taking place for ten or more years would be Forrest Gump.

Personal Script

I think that my best scene would be the opening scene where Jorge gets lost and Tony is outside talking to the mysterious unknown man. I think that it was the best because it built up suspense and it set the mood and tone for the rest of the story. I would say that my worst scene would be the ending scene where Tony finds out the entire thing was a hoax. This is the worst scene because I had to change up the entire story due to the limit on the length. If I wasn't restrained I would have written the story as I originally intended it to be.

Short Film

1. The short that we watched had to do with a boy about 10 years old and what seemed to be his mother. There were only two locations within the film, ther family's house and ther playground. The problem is that the boy wants to go outside and he wants to be like his mom. The solution is that he goes out by himself without his mother. The length of the film is about six minutes long. I disliked the sad ending of the film.

2. I think that there is enough material in this short film for it to be expanded to a two-hour film. The film could go into more detail on what happened before the story took place. For example the story could explain why there was no one outside.

3. My favorite feature-length movie is Man on Fire. One single scene that could stand on it's own as a short is when Creasy goes and extracts the information from the policeman.
