Stalag 17

This film is a great story telling model with excellent character development. The film starts off with no sound/music, except for outside in the German camp grounds where you hear drums. The lighting is barely noticeable except for the end where a character blows out one little candle and all the lights go off, but it was to make a point. Each character had his own story, and you got to follow each character throughout the whole movie. Their was a great usage of props and materials that men in a German camp would have had to work with, so in those regards it was quite creative. You were drawn in to the plot as the other characters were lead in the movie to believe who the spy was. It made logical sense. But nothing was as it seemed, the culprit could have been several of the characters, and you could feel like you were a part of each characters story. In the end, the real spy was made known and had a great end to his life, while the first break out of the camp was a success. When it was all over I wanted to continue on with the story and keep following the characters to know what happened with them. But with the last scene you know that everyone will make it out.

sloppy heroes or interrogation?

I am working on two scripts for my project, Sloppy heroes which is about a boy who always wanted to be a hero. He is very klutzy, but he actually pulls off really good moves and wins an epic fight on the playground. They are not the moves he intended but they work. Interrogation takes place in three rooms, with one character who is dressed in three different manners. Kind of a good angel bad angel set up with the real person in the middle room, and the bad angel in black on his left and the good white angel on his right. It is how questions and answers good vary depending on where you are in your faith. The interrogation is to figure out who killed a man! This is a serious and deep video as opposed to the sloppy heroes.

My question is which video should I cultivate into my final project? I would like to do both because I work with kids and think the first idea would be great, the second idea is for an older audience and provokes inner thoughts. Maybe I will take a vote from all of you. I will take suggestions. What do you want to see?

writing screenplays!

I had no idea writing a screenplay was so highly detailed. The stage directions are heavy, if you are both writing and director, otherwise writing would be more frustrating because the director is gonna take your screenplay and make it look how he/she wants. That would make me mad. I would have to be both writer and director, or the director. By reading a screenplay first, the movie makes so much more sense when I watch it the first time. I guess I need to watch a movie more then once to pick up on everything. I cannot watch and pay attention at the same time. Now that I have had some experience reading screenplays, I have so many ideas for my own mini movies. Short films if you will seem to be my specialty.

Alice in Wonderland

Sheerly one of the most amazingly filmed green screen movies! there is so much planning going on to make sure that the green screen work is done effectively and mind blowing. I would love to be on a set working with that much green screen with that much skill to make it all work out sooooo well

"Momento"

Truly a great film! this movie is filmed backward in sequence, you get the final scene first and the first scene last. This is a little hard to follow at first but once you get into it, you become more and more amazed. The more you watch the film, the humor is easier to see. This movie is inspiring and wonderful to watch. I get lost in the plot and lose focus on the effects of the film and the quality, which I believe is a huge accomplishment for any film!  Kudos!
