Concepts 83/84 Brainstormers

#2:
I think it would be harder to sustain a magical person within a world of normal humans.  With a mortal living in an enchanted realm, the mortal would be able to experience new things often enough for the script to feel refreshing and not stale.  With a supernatural person, there is only so much you can do with a normal world.

#3:
When I was much younger, "It" was a very scary movie for me.  The elements that terrified me was when the clown would come out of unthinkable places, such as the shower scene where he came out of the shower drain.  These fears had no relationship to experiences I had beforehand.

Italian Neorealism and Independent Cinema

Brick's Elements:
Brick's characters are more complex, mainly the antagonists.  The main character has some unknown motives.  Brick also relied a lot on the dialogue to get the story moving forward.  Even during any action or tense sequences, there was a good amount of dialogue put in.  It also uses multi-strand narratives.  The whole of the movie was about visions of underground society and what happens in the background.

Do the Right Thing's Elements:
DRT has an ambiguous ending.  The characters are stereotypical and straightforward for the most part.  It is usually in favor of narrative drama.  DRT has an even balance of dialogue and tense action.  It makes it aware that the audience is watching a film by all the unorthodox camera angles.

Italian Neorealism:
1. Political involvement
2. Not always a happy ending
3. Emphasis on realism and factual events

I think that Italian Neorealism has had a great influence on American Independent films, since Italian Neorealism is mostly known for its ambiguous and sad endings, much like indie films.

Concept 80 Brainstormer

#2:
The most upsetting experience I have gone through in recent years (about 4-5) was my grandfather passing away.  He was diagnosed with lung cancer after several decades of smoking cigarettes.  This changed my outlook on smokers that are even "casual smokers", if that is a thing.  I think it may have biased my perspective on people I did not know, but it has been more of a help than hurt so far.

Concept 79 Brainstormer

#3:
I think Hollywood loves comedies that have happy endings or end with a last laugh.  There were 5 films I named or know of that were on the list.

Concept 78 Brainstormer

#3:

In my script, I would not take long for the audience to start to catch on.  From the very beginning, the story slowly exposes who the characters are in the story and then moves on.  The setting itself can tell a lot about what will happen.  From there, the Western aspect of the story would be shown immediately but the suspense would not be there until the first encounter with the bandits/natives.

Concept 77 Brainstormer

#2:
In my Western-Suspense script, I would keep the dialogue true to the time period while being short and concise.  The settings would not have to be far and wide, I would easily be able to find suitable areas and locations for filming somewhere in the Midwest of the United States.  The characters would be non-professional to keep the costs much lower than hiring some big-name celebrity.  All of these combined would be a cheap project that could reap the rewards of a small budget.

The Princess Bride Genres

Adventure - A hero and his journey, a damsel in distress, big evil do-ers.

Comedy - Laughs, funny dialogue, unique and wacky characters.

Family - Underlying messages that promote happiness, love and other traits attributed to family lifestyle.

Concept 75 Brainstormer

#3:
My favorite teen-oriented weekly program is Freaks and Geeks.  It shows the typical stereotypes and cliques teens hang out in in school.  The underlying message is that there are so many tempting things in high school, but some can make it out from the pressure.

Do the Right Thing Reflection

The movie was very eye-opening to the racial violence and problems that still plague America to this day.  This was a good representation of a certain type of scenario (Italians vs. Blacks).  I wish this did not happen, but people can never get along.

Concept 69, 70, 71, 72, 73 Brainstormers

69 #1:
The Australian would compare him to an ankle biter (a small or young child) that does no work and lays about, gee-whiz (unbelievable) that they do not do any serious work.  An American will call him lazy, a bum, and useless.

70 #1:
Red Riding Hood: Her feelings and emotions, how she felt confronting the wolf and contemplating what happened to the grandmother.
Wolf: His attacks.
Grandmother: She would talk about how the wolf came into the house and her final moments.
Woodsman: He would technically be a third-person perspective.

71 #1:
My favorite historical figure is Albert Einstein.  The most significant thing about his life is all his discoveries about physics and mathematics.  I would start with how he began his life-long works.

72 #:
The most recent I have watched is Seinfeld. Jerry's car is stolen and everybody tries to get it back.

73 #:
My favorite film hero is Luke Skywalker.  My favorite villain is Voldemort.  The plot would be a mash-up of both the Star Wars universe and Harry Potter's.  Luke would emerge the victor, as having the villain win is not as fun.

74 #:
I like films that give a sense of epic proportions, laugh and have a heart-warming feeling.  I like these feelings the most because they are related to the type of genres I like.
