Citizen Kane - What we know about Charles Foster Kane so far

Charles Foster Kane is a very rich man, who doesn't like to hide his wealth.  He's the editor of some newspaper, and he was married, but his wife died.  And he's not a favorite to most people, but some want him elected as president.  He has a mansion/castle called Xanadu.

Freaks and Geeks Reflection

My favorite episode so fr has been the recent one we just watched about Kim finding out that Daniel was cheating on her.  I liked it because it was intense, and still comical.  And how all of Lindsay's new friends met Mr. and Mrs. Weir.  It was also pretty dark, but still entertaining.

Dialogue Practice from Freaks and Geeks

Sam - Sophisticated

Neil - Does impersonations and has a good vocabulary

Bill - Kind of dopey, but smart

Karen - Speaks in a tough manner, intimidating

Kim - Rude, but knows when to stop teasing

Daniel - Jokes about edgy things

Nick - Agrees with Daniel and doesn't have an opinion of his own

Freaks and Geeks, Halloween Episode

1.  That she's struggling with her identity, and deep down she's still a geek, but she wants to seem more like a freak.

2.  Lindsay ditching her mom to hang out with her friends, Sam going trick-or-treating with his friends (even though he's considered too old,) Sam and his friends getting beat up by Alan for their candy, and Lindsay accidentally egging Sam with her friends.

3.  They show Lindsay that she's becoming the person that used to bug her when she was a kid.  And she's seeing the effects of her misbehavior by how same reacts.

Concept 10 - 1, 2, 3

1.  I feel like I know a lot about super hero films.  You can use that in a short film to show conflict between hero and villain.  Or dialogue between the hero, and the victim he saved.

2.  You can use google, films, or books in the library to find out more information about the topic.  Search engines are a very useful tool.

3.  I don't know much about romance, or romantic comedies.  Mostly because that's not a type of movie or book that I enjoy.

Concept 9

1. On the distant planet Pandora, a river is disturbed by the constant ripples from the sinking ship Titanic.  Creatures from every direction attack the survivors, while one individual takes a stand.  Batman fights off the creatures vigilantly.  Protecting and saving the passengers is his objective.

Concept 8 - 1 and 3

1. I would have the scene as Orlando getting hurt right before the game, and having to follow through anyways, and Resse being worried that he would get further injured.

3. Character: Doctor, Setting: Porch, Prop: Skateboard.
The doctor visited Mrs. Johnson on her porch, and knocked on the door.  When he informs her that she has cancer, she freaks out.  He backs off and steps on a skateboard, slips, and falls directly on his head.  The doctor dies moments later.

1. (1.) One Day - Unstoppable
    (2.) One Week - Land of the Lost
    (3.) Several Months - Limitless
    (4.) Ten + Years - Forrest Gump

Short Script Reflection

The best scene in my script would probably be the mischievous acts that got the protagonist kicked out of his home city (due to being a nuisance).  There is dialogue between Twilty (the main character) and the Bandle City police, to which his conversation got him removed from the city.
