Short Script Revision
Emma chuckles to herself, and Chelsea just shrugs and walks over to the office. She knocks on the door and Mrs. Parks doesn't respond so she just pushes the door open.
Emma chuckles to herself, and Chelsea just shrugs and walks over to the office. She knocks on the door but Mrs. Parks doesn't seem to be in her office, so she cautiously opens the door and proceeds to scan the room.

Freaks and Geeks questions
What do you know about Lindsay now?
She is still trying to find herself, but she is starting to realize that she doesn’t necessarily need to hang out with Daniel’s group of friends. She still is protective of her brother, and even though she didn’t hand out candy with her mom, she still wants to be close with her family.
What are the major plots of the Halloween episode?
Lindsay wanted to hang out with Daniel’s group and she ditched her friend Mally to go pumpkin smashing with them. And that Sam and his friends are still getting picked on because they haven’t completely stood up to Alan and his bully friends.
How do they all come together in the end?
Lindsay ended up wearing the costume that her mom got her, and she kept tradition and passed out candy with her mom. And when she came back home and realized that Sam was the one she egged, and that she isn’t really like Daniel and his friends.

Concept 10 #'s 1-3
1) What subjects do you feel you know really well?
History, rules of track and field, laws of driving, how to play trombone, facts about various animals, how to cook healthy food. I could use these skills to make a short film that involves an event in the past, a film involving animals in some way, or a short film that has to do with food in some way.
2) If I was writing about a subject I was totally unfamiliar with at home my resources would be: internet, books, newspaper or magazine articles. If I was at the library or on the Internet: google or a similar search engine, books( encyclopedia, how-to books, etc.) Within my community resources would be: people who have experience in the specific film topic, internet, library.
3) I know absolutely nothing about what it takes to build a building (the materials needed and how to start building it). If I had to write a short film that showed new students why they should take a class on this subject then I would try to find someone who builds buildings and monuments for a living and ask them to help me understand the basics of it and if they could talk to the students about their job. I would also interview the students and teachers to get their input. I would state how important it is to know all the work that goes into building the buildings that everyone uses everyday.

Concept 9 #1
1) Domestic top 3 films: 1) Avatar 2) Titanic 3) The Dark Knight
I would weave together the setting of Avatar, the main characters from Titanic (Jack and Rose) and the conflict from Dark Knight. Jack and Rose would be stuck in the world of Avatar (the jungle like place) and they would have to try to hide their identities from the rest of the Avatar blue people. They would still be human but they would dress up like the tall blue native people, and try to save the village from the evil people that would try to take control of the jungle and kill them. During the day they would be the blue people, but at night they would be their human self and fight back against the efforts of the evil (Joker) and protect their world. This film would appeal to the majority of people since it is a mix of all of the 3 highest grossing movies combined.

Concept 8 (#'s 1 and 3)
1) If there were no other characters I would focus just on Bloom and Witherspoon, and them having a dialogue together at the school near the football field. Bloom and Witherspoon would both have kids that play on the football team, and they would be reunited when they meet each other again at the game, after 20 years.
3) Character: rock star
Setting: phone booth
Prop: painting
The rock star would be stranded in a strange city and all he has with him is a famous painting that his band member stole and gave to him before he left. In order to keep his reputation in tact, he would realize that he needed to return the painting and have nothing to do with it. The rock star would find a phone booth and call and report the stolen painting. When the police arrive, the painting along with enough money to cover the cost, would be lying next to the phone.

I don't know.
MILLIE
Well let her know that she needs to respond to my question ASAP,

and those kind of things.
MILLIE
Oh yeah right, of course.
Millie sadly walks away back towards the cafeteria scanning the room for somewhere to sit.

Favorite High School Television Shows
3 of my favorite shows:
1) That 70's Show
2) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3) The Big Bang Theory
I like these shows because they are all funny and entertaining. I can relate to the characters in That 70's Show and Buffy because they are similar to my age, but in The Big Bang Theory I can't relate to their lives as much so that's probably why it is so interesting to me. I also like all these shows because the characters are all complex and have their own personalities so the shows aren't boring and don't seem repetitive.

Screenplay Self Evaluation
1) My best scene was when the main character, Chelsea, decides to go against the rules and go to the fashion showing that her new boss was supposed to attend.
2) My worst scene was when she finally arrived at the fashion show, because I should have elongated the scene or gave more detail about why she was so excited to go to the show and that it was out of character for her to do something like that.
3) I could give more detail about the setting of the scenes, and more detailed dialogue or description of why Chelsea does what she does and a better background of her life.

Concept 6 (short movie response)
Concept 6
Title of short movie: Burn-E
#1
1) robot, 3 characters
2) 3 locations (space, earth, spaceship)
3) Burn-E had trouble turning on the power for the spaceship, Wall-E helps him fix the power
4) 7 mins. and 37 secs.
I liked the part when Burn-E and Wall-E were working together using their specific talents to keep the spaceship running and working
I dislike how the ending was very quick and unexplanatory.
#2
Yes, this could easily be turned into a movie because it could be adapted into a movie just like how Wall-E was a full length movie.
#3
My favorite feature length movie is Clue. When they all discover their secrets about their lives they have to try to stay alive in a mansion and discover who the murderer is.
