Concept 37 Brainstormers

#1:
Glory
Saving Private Ryan
Time Traveler's Wife

Sense of emotion after becoming emotionally attached to the character(s).  Some twists right before the ending to make it a roller-coaster ride.

#3:
My cousins and I switched the wasabi at a sushi place with guacamole and dared one of the older cousins to eat the whole wasabi (guacamole).  He spat it out and ran to the bathroom.  I don't know how this kind of trick would apply to an audience, unless on a talk show or if I was a chef serving an audience.

Concept 36 Brainstormer

#3: My main character's conflict is that he does not know what happened the previous day/night.

Easy ways to solve the problem instantly:
1. Remember it.
2. Find someone who does.
3. Not worry about it.

Obstacles to block the easy ways:
1. Can't remember it.
2. No one remembers.
3. Something will occur that happened the night/day before and be required that the main character has to recount what had happened.

Concept 35 Brainstormers

#1:
1 -Dave
2 - Harry Potter
3 - Star Wars
4 - Robin Hood
5 - Joan of Arc
6 - Braveheart

#2:
Braveheart, I would do almost anything, especially for freedom or country.  Braveheart is a very passionate and aggressive protagonist, and would do almost anything for his people because he sees himself as a sort of leader and martyr.

#3:
The last time I took a risk in order to gain something, it was when I was still a kid.  There was a sort of tournament at our elementary school for some kind of prize (I can't remember) and I wanted it for my mom (pretty sure).  The participants had to do an assortment of things that were both challenging and fun at the same time.  It took a lot of energy (I was chubby when I was younger) and I didn't win in the end. My parents were happy for me regardless for even trying, so it wasn't all for not.

Quick-write 12/6

Multiple Perspectives:

Movies:

Vantage Point

The perspective is from multiple people at an event and no one knows what is really going on and so each person sees different things than the last perspective.  

Concept 34 Brainstormer

Question #2:

The villain's power would be to read the hero's mind.  The hero would steal Magneto's helmet and proceed to beat the living snot out of the villain.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Structure

I think the nonlinear structure of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' was very interesting.  Joel was in his mind about 75% of the time of the film.  It added a lot to the story and theme, but for the most part it only added to the characters near the ending.  I liked the story the way it was told, a twist on the normal get-back-together structure.  'Eternal Sunshine' was very different from the other nonlinear films we watched, since the story was mostly told all in the mind of a single person.

Concept 32 and 32 Brainstormers

Concept 32
#1: Can't name a movie, but directors usually add in a side character that people would care about and the main character would have to make a decision pertaining to that particular side character

#2: Can't name a movie, but you would frequently see in the background or cameos of the bigger story that encompasses a larger spectrum than what we see currently.

#3: Add in extreme disaster shots for added effect.

Concept 33

#1: Yes, random acts of kindness by strangers towards me have sometimes had a ripple effect on me.  There are times when I go out in which something will happen to me and complete strangers would come help me.  Later that day usually, I would see something happen similar to me and I would help that person.
