Scriptwriter:
The script is going well and we are progressing well. The script incorporates various elements of a dystopia such as  the government using propaganda to control its citizens who is fear of the outside world or in this case the surface of earth, the citizens are living in a dehumanized state as slaves of the government, the people have a fear of the natural world which is said to be uninhabitable, and citizens conform to uniform expectations. We incorporate these elements into the trailer with shots of these things happening, character's dialogue, and text which all explain the situation or show these plot elements. There are approximately 7 scenes in our trailer, and it starts with a montage of clips overlapping with the sun which gets brighter to show what happened to the earth, and then follows the main character while she finds out what is wrong with the government. The trailer then shows the government's actions against the main character and her evasion of them.  Its a progression of her story and the actions taken against her by the antagonists.

Serenity. Joss Whedon. PG-13. 2005
Malcom Reynolds (Nathan Fillian) and his crew must run from an assassin, sent by the tyranical government, to kill a member of their crew who is telepathic.

The trailer for Joss Whedon's Serenity shows a dystopia with displaying a corrupt society and government. From the trailer alone you can discern that the government in manipulative and cruel in hiring an assassin to find and kill an innocent, though slightly off her rocker, teenage girl because she is telepathic. The costumes, effects, and scenery of the trailer also greatly affect the trailer to show a stunning dystopia of Joss Whedon's invention.

My 5x5

1.  A shot of me walking downstairs to get a snack.
2.  A shot from within the refrigerator of me getting out the milk.
3. A shot of me getting down cereal from above the fridge. 
4. A shot of me getting a spoon out of the utensils drawer.
5.  A shot of me moving around my cereal so that it all gets wet.

When i shot my 5x5 i had little trouble, and it only took me about 20 minutes. I just used a little rinky-dink camera we had in the house, and the iMovie HD on my Mac, and everything went smoothly.

I liked my 5x5, though i found as i made it that i wanted to include more footage.The little 5 second clips seemed to short, though i like how it turned out.

I think we should do a small film from the perspective of an inanimate object. The film would not have a voiceover, so as to make it a challenge to express what it is like to be that object. I think this would be interesting and a bit challenging, and fun.

For the movie review i think we should be granted freedom in our writing. For certain movies its hard to follow a rubric and it would fit better to be allowed to make our own outline. All the reviews should have basic things like a plot overview and descriptions of the main characters, but if your film focusses on certain things go into depth on those, like cinematography or effects.

Welcome welcome welcome. This is my blog, and although i have already wrote the mandatory post for school, i thought it would be fun to just write a post of my own. I mean hey. It gives it a bit of a personal touch and proves that I'm not entirely a drone of the school system. Well. What to write about is the question?  The unruly amount of homework given to us? The extent to which i accidentally harm myself (I've become quite clumsy...)? Or the many reasons why we should have tumblrs as opposed to google blogs. How bout kittens. I like kittens. They are adorable. And cute. And i want to own one. And snuggle it. And love it. Because kittens are the most amazing beings on earth.

Its baby me. And my sistahs. 

1. Hello, i am Molly. I am a student in CAP 10 and I enjoy many things. Specifically frolicking in fields with friends and all maner of things. I am quite interested in directing and filming the shots, so technically DP. I have vlogged in the past, which is a film project i've worked on, i've also done film projects in Mr. Bustillos's class which i enjoyed. I made, edited, and did all of those shenanigans for a vlog a while back, and in Bustillos's class i was an actor in a news piece.

2. We can use our blogs to share our videos and ideas. For the change project groups could use the blogs to throw around ideas and work at home together.

• Share ideas
• Talk to each other through the blogs
• Write up drafts of the project
