short film inspiration
In how 'bout this weather is taking about a sibling rivalry that get out of hand and attack other people. The shots were good at conveying the feeling of each character. The dialogue that is used in between the two brothers and the hate that they feel for each other and how they dread to see each other and is shown through the The shots would cut towards the emotions of the characters with the way that others react to them.
The full shots at the family is talking shows the two sides clashing as they talk about their job. The mis en scene of the light is shown down to support the two separate sides.
The cuts were fast and short to emphasis the split between the two brothers as they attack each other and destroy and hurt each others family. The acting was very convincing in the sense that the two brothers were really brothers and had built up frustration and then they are actually doing anything that they can to attack each other. The clothing was very connected to the kind of status that each brother lived. While one is dressed elegantly as he is rich when the other is dressed more like a middle class man. The story is very straight forward and comedic like because it is about an sibling rivalry that get out of hand and eventually make both brother alone as they are still fighting. I like it because it shows two brothers who are in different classes instead of helping each other they are trying to destroy each other and insut each other as their rivalry gets out of hand.
It will be a combination between comedy and sci-fi. I will blend the two together to create an idea that will bring out a laugh from audience.
A possible log line
In a future there is a family gathering and a sibling rivalry gets out of hand and the brothers end up fighting with each other.
brother getting together
brother rivalry starts.
gets into a bloody fight
gets back together.

reaserch script
THe philosophy of sciences fiction is that fantasy and mystical realism taking place in a futuristic world. one of it founders were Georage Melies through his movie travel to the moon. Also another founder that pushed Sciences fiction even futher was the director George Lucas with his famous movie Star wars. ALso some of the founders actors Buck Roger and Flash Gorden. ANother film that came before star wars was 20,000 leagues under the sea by Jules Vernes. they influenced the genera with the ideas of things that could not be done and this things made the genera more and more interesting because it was life that we can not see everyday.
THe idea I want to pursue is the way western influence on the kind of cutural background of the director and how this influence shaped the kind of science fiction movie they want to make. For example the movie of district nine is shaped my the director growing up in South Africa during the time of apartheid and how the story shows the combination between the fight of aliens and humans as the struggle between balck and white. Like in Avatar it is talking about the culture of americans and our past with the struggle of Idians against the whites as they moved west. ANother movie is the host and it shows the western influence of the Americans on the East. It is about a best htat attacks and kills everything in it path and abducts a person which makes the family start to fight back to save the person. Through this it shows western influence of nuclear substance and how the western influence had spread and how it influence the people.

What challenges did James Cameron have in realizing his vision?
James CAmeron faced the challenge of the genre that he was trying to go for because he wanted it to be more of a fantasy, action, adventure not a sci-fi movie. ALso the tech did not become advance enough until now so that he can actually make use of it in his movie.
What was the process used in creating Pandora?
THe processed that they used to create Pandora was that they took what we already had on this earth and used the CG to create a even more elaberate world like the floating mountain and the extension of forest that is longer than the amazon.
How has performance caputure changed the filmmaking process?
THe performance was actually physical movement that they putt little dots on the face of the actors and got them into suits that allow motion capture then put them in a room with cameras all over including a mic connected to the helmet and then have them physically act out all the motions made the movie. So everything that the avatar did then actors themselves had to do in the vault. ALso because of the motion capture the Cg characters like the avatar can use the facial expressions of the actor without having to actually do on a computer later.
THe cost for avatar was very experncive because the techwas not create so it cost 400 million dollars to make. 250 million was used on the making of the actual movie and then the next 150 million was used on just the advertising of the movie avatar. THe movie is expected to make about 1.26 billion dollars THe problems about making the most expensive movie is not trying to make a movie that is going to be really bad and fall and bomb which will not make the money that they should have to loose money to instead of make money. ALso another problem that they have to deal with profit is piracy which takes the movie without paying which will also cut into their profits. THe mass budget that was spent on this film I feel does not really help portray the message that the film maker was trying to make instead it was just distracting the people from the actual message.
I feel that the plot is recycled but the way that they use it is different because it is showing ideas that allow us to understand and feel what it is that the reader is trying to say. I disagree with the critics that the movie is aniti-war and is racial at all but use these implications to futher certain archtypes that need these aspects to be truely able to consolidate the idea of the archetype and how the achtype plays out in our society.
