I agree with Scott Myers’ statement because one needs a profit if they want to be a full-time filmmaker, in my opinion. Like Taylah explained, you need to pay rent, buy food, etc. Therefore, it is important to have a commercially viable story/film so it will make money and provide funds for those involved. However, this is sometimes a win/lose situation because sometimes you have to give up an idea or concept for the sake of getting a profit which isn’t ideal for some artists. Nevertheless, I…

the Comic Con has been around for a long time, the 'Lost in Translation' star has never attended the event, until last Thursday. Murray's entrance in Hall H was met with an almost frenzied standing ovation. The actor was present to promote his new film 'Rock the Kasbah,' but all he wanted to do was clear up all those pesky 'Star Wars' rumors. "I don't know if I was ever up for Han Solo," he said with a smile. It was previously rumored that the role of Han Solo was intended for Bill Murray,…

camera effects to bring the film the way it is. The studio also developed several new tools to generate realistic and believable shots, particularly the heavy and deep snows and its interactions with the characters. The need to create new tools take a serious action of creativity and dedication. The use of special effects such as the Flourish, Spaces, and SnowBatcher that together created the most important character, snow. These special effects are a must in this film as it create the heavy…

grossing movie of the year. At the same time, Dory has also flown past the half a billion mark, and now sits at $538.2 million, worldwide. Below Dory is a fleet on newcomers, starting with The Legend of Tarzan – which earned a decent $38.1 million. The film, starring Alexander Skarsgård & Margot Robbie, was met with mostly negative reviews and will have its work cut out for itself if it wants to avoid being yet another…

Nicholas Sparks is a well-known romance author whose novels almost never disappoint, considering all of his books have been New York Times best sellers. One of the books, The Notebook, was turned into a movie. Even though The Notebook isn’t the only movie inspired by his best-selling novels, I think it was the most popular and hands down the best movie. Sparks wrote The Notebook in only a short period of six months. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are the two main characters in the movie.…

I personally prefer the book than the movie. The book was more detailed and it gave more evidence than the movie. In addition, I also consider the book than the movie because I like how the author gives names to about three or more sections in the chapter. I say that because sometimes it gives me a better understanding of what’s going on. Rather than the movie, I didn’t really understand it, and it sometimes got me confused. On the other hand the book didn’t because it was more specific. My…

If I cannot accept it, I must change it. This is where my skills as a Humanities student would be useful. During my four years at the Scholar’s Center for Humanities…

Bernstein, because I read in his bio that he had written and sold several scripts. Becoming a writer for television and film is my goal, and the reason I chose to attend ASU, so I was interested to see what advice he could give me about the craft. When I met with Professor Bernstein we discussed how and why he became a writer, what it takes to make and sell a script, and films that we each enjoy. After introducing myself to Professor Bernstein, and telling him a little bit about my background…
