Thoughts.
Something i dont undertand is train of thought. What leads it?
I know that in my case i have a very strange train of thought, and i can go from thinking about a tv show to thinking about flying squirrels. Train of thought is such an interesting thing, because once you start thinking about it, and thinking about what you're thinking you get into a cycle of intense philosophical and complex thoughts that tend to get crazier and crazier. Sometimes you can descend into existential dilemmas.
But that is on a rare occasion. Most of the time my brain just jumps from subject to subject thinking about all the various information in my brain. But why is it my brain keeps these subjects. A lot of the information is completely irrelevant to learning and every day life, and yet it stays stored up in my brain waiting to be a topic of intrest for when i'm trying to go to sleep. Its always when I go to sleep that my thoughts decide to rage rampant. They skitter about in my brain keeping me from sleeping, all of my regrets and worries decide to attack me as i drift off.
This post alone shows how hectic my thought process is, it jumps from topic to topic because when i talked about one thing it made me think of another and so on and so forth.
So i guess what i'm trying to say is that brains are weird, and i dont get why zombies like to eat them.

Words. Words. Words.
I am an actress. I'm in a youth theater group that does Shakespeare and therefore focuses very much on the spoken word. Because of this we focus greatly on annunciation and consents and speech.
And yet despite all this, for some reason, i have lost the ability to talk. I will be talking to someone or trying to voice an idea and my tung refuses to function and i cannot speak. When i am reading lines and memorizing lines i do fine, but when it comes to conversing i am inept.
This did not used to be the case. I used to do well in my annunciation, but my speech has slowly deteriorated so that i will merely make sounds and move my tung around. my theory is that my mouth has decided to go on strike because i clench my jaw from all my stress, i forget to brush my teeth when i'm up late doing homework, and so on and so forth.
Well if my mouth is going on strike i guess i'll just have to talk less, do more yoga, and keep on keepin on.

Hello there
Well hello there. These blogs, as you may or may not have noticed, are for school and were used for assignments given to us by our teachers. Now when i'm on my tumblr i'm more likely to talk about something that interests me, but a school blog... not so much. Since this was the case for many students our teachers decide to change the assignment. All we have to do is make at least one post a week, on any topic we like.
But the question is, what to do with it? Should i make this a blog dedicated to one thing? A blog about my life and its challenges. A blog about a fandom i like. It could be about anything.
I really like the fact that they have given us this freedom, but now i have the conundrum of not knowing what to write about.
I assume that i will end up writing about what ever comes to mind and whatever has been prominent that week. And, to the joy of the CAP teachers i assume, i'm most likely gonna end up using it far more often. Although i'm not going to follow any blogs, because as of yet i dont know how, but i will be posting more often.
So i'd like to say thank you to the CAP teachers for giving us this freedom. It will be fun.

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