Horror Movies

1. Insidious
2. Saw V
3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
4. The Last Exorcist
5. Paranormal Activity 2

A good horror story has suspense, surprises, twists, and an element of fear. Some techniques that the writers use are music, pop-ups, and sudden movements to scare the audience.

Lost

The writer reveals the differences in the characters by the different ways they talk and the different actions they do. Jack is a leader as he tries to help everyone and he tells that he is a doctor. Hurley seems like a laid back kind of person by his method of speaking. Kate is a strong person that overcomes her fear easily. Boone seems to be a person that likes to please others by the way he brought jack many different pens when he asked him for one.

Concept 24

I was completely surprised in the outcome of one of my soccer games. We had lost two players due to red cards in the first half. I was one. At the end of the first half we were down 2-0. Our players didnt give up and scored a goal in the first 5 minutes of the second half. The team continued battling until they tied the game and scored the go ahead goal in the last 5 minutes of play.

Concept 23

The story I want to write about is a story about a young person struggling with their daily life. The main character will want to solve the problems the he/she faces daily. The quest will never be fully successful but the character will win many little battles along the way.

Desperate Housewives

The three main characters are Mary, Lynette, and Gabrielle. They are introduced as if they were regular people living a regular life. The conflict seems to be the relationships between the housewives and their husbands. The writing is very modern. The characters use everyday language that is tweaked only a little bit to show the difference in characters.

Concept 22

The tv episode my group is writing is character driven because our whole story revolves around one character. The main character has to go through many different tribulations and without that main character there would be no story.

Pilot Reflection

Our characters are unique because they are complex and deal with multiple problems instead of just one main one. We can introduce them in a unique way by starting the pilot off directly into a problem. Our main character has to deal with problems at home with her family, problems at school with her friends and with academics. The main character has a multitude of problems that she has to deal with and solve.
