Concept 87 and 88 Brainstormers

Concept 87
#3:
I would love to be an explorer.  My quest would be along the lines of Indiana Jones-type adventure.  Begin a journey to find a random ancient relic or heirloom that would make me either great/wealthy.  Fight global terrorist organizations and be enlisted by powerful governments to help find these legendary treasures.

Concept 88
#1:
The most controversial subject at our school is drug use.  My documentary would be with repeated offenders, school advisors/staff, and how normal kids feel about drug use at our school.

Concept 85 and 86 Brainstormers

#2:
I think it is much better to have loved and lost than to have loved at all.  Being able to experience loving or to be loved is such a moving and influential event in your life.  To never have loved at all is a shame, but not everyone has an opportunity to make it happen.

#3:
If I were Bourne, I would try every outlet possible to figure out who I am.  But since I am on a 24-hour time limit, there is no chance to attempt to find out personally which ones are closest.  I would begin to track the closest source and go from there.

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.
