Pulp Fiction Research Paper
IMAGINE Pre–Interview Questionnaire
1. What are your top 3 favorite films of all time? Briefly describe why they're your favorite.
– If I had 3 of my favorite movies, I would say they are:
1.I am Legend
2.American Gangster
3.Avatar
Will Smith and Denzel Washington are among some of the greatest actors I have seen on the big screen. Smith's passion to complete his mission of
cleansing the planet, mixed with the hardships of feeling like he is the last man on earth made for a film experience I could put myself inside as he faced
obstacles throughout the movie. American Gangster was simply a movie that taught me to: 1) Stay away from drugs, because even the best
masterminds can be taken down, 2) The man in the room that makes the most ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
What do you consider the 3 best films ever made? For me, there is a difference between my favorites and what I would consider the best in class. If
there is a difference for you, please list the films and briefly why you consider them to be "perfect" films.
1.Pulp Fiction
2.Godfather
I do not have a third, as these are two of the best films made in my life so far. In the case of Pulp Fiction, the way the story is told in a jumble, and
later clarified for a complete story creates a drama that takes us on a rollercoaster of events. Admittedly, there are probably things in the film that I
have missed in my two viewings of it. Godfather is just a classic film that I feel all movie lovers must watch.
3. Favorite TV show right now?
– My favorite television show right now is Grimm. I enjoy how they found a way to integrate the stories children grow up on in a story that does not
make the idea absurd.
4. What screenwriters and directors should Imagine be working with?
Imagine is working with many of the screenwriters I have come to love in growing up, including Dave Chappelle, Robert Downey Jr., and Jay Z – to
name a few. It would be interesting to see James Cameron or Michael Bay involved in the future. Cameron's ability to create immersive creative

The screenwriter develops its character bio by digging deep with a character, discovering background history, personality, psychology and goals. The
screen writer develops a detailed description of the main character. This describes their drives, fears, and goals. This should also give the audience a
vision of how they look and sound. Ascreenwriter has a seven day schedule. Day one– Describe your main character. Day two– Do character exercise.

Grana Parmesan Joose Essay
2. Italian cheese–maker asks US soap opera for damages over Parmesan 'Joke'
Italian producers of Italian hard cheese Grana Padano have started legal proceedings against long–running US soap–opera 'The Brave and the Beautiful'
after their product was the butt of a joke in a scene broadcast last year.
In the scene, the shows protagonist, Charlie Webber, cooks a meal at home. However, halfway through Webber realizes he has brought Grana Padano
cheese instead of its more famous cousin, Parmigiano Reggiano.
At this point, Webber becomes angry with himself for having brought the wrong cheese and entirely abandons his cookery project.

countries and reaches an estimated 300 million viewers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
After checking that the Italian channel Mediaset, who broadcast the show in Italy had faithfully dubbed the scene – the Grana Padano consortiums'
lawyers filed a damages complaint against the show.
"The screenwriting breaks US comparative advertising laws due to the disparaging tone and attitude the actor shows towards our product," explained
Consortium Director, Stefano Berni.
US Advertising laws state that two products can be directly compared and that people can be shown to have a personal preference for one over the
other, but legislation states that claims which "expressly or implicitly damage a competing product" run the risk of being ruled deceptive.
"The problem is that Grana Padano, like The Bold and the Beautiful, is a global product and the negative message broadcast could have reached
hundreds of millions of people," Berni added.
Italy exports more than €750 million euros worth of Grana Padano cheese each year, with the USA being the top foreign market for the cheese after

Jennifer Joel's Influenced My Writing
His enterer life, he had wanted to be an author, he wrote books all through high school and college, but none of them ever got published. So, after
college, decided to give writing movies a try. He moved out to Hollywood with some friends and started writing spec scripts. Ended up getting his first
screenwriting assignment within a few months. Needed to have a temporary job reading scripts at a small production company and convinced them
that they should just hire him to write any movies they wanted.
That led to getting a manager, that led to him getting representation at an agency, which led to bigger jobs in movies and TV. However, after many
years of this, he decided the time had come to try writing books again. His agency had a book department, so asked if he could talk to someone there.
A literary agent named Jennifer Joel looked over his TV & film work and called to ask if he had ever considered writing middle grade. Up until that
moment, hadn't but realized Jenn was right That was exactly what he ought to be writing. He even had an idea for an adult novel – a mystery about a
dead hippo – that would be far better for middle grade.
This was only about seven years ago, but even then, there weren't that many people writing middle grade novels for boys. He didn't have to write the
whole book. Jenn could sell it to Simon & Schuster based upon his pitch, an outline and a few sample chapters. ... Show more content on

Clarity, Arrangement, Credibility, And Expectations
The five cognate strategies I chose were, Clarity, Tone, Arrangement, Credibility, and Expectations. Clarity in writing is giving a clear
understanding about what you are talking about. I've used clarity in my writing as a screenwriter by describing a character with clear and precise
wording. An example would be, " I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and I won't be back for a month. Lisa Taylor will take over my position in
my absence. Take care". Clarity is when you are explicit with the details you are relaying in your message. Specific details are key. Tone is how
you express yourself. The mood of the information you're relaying. I've used Tone in my screenwriting to set a certain tone to the scene. If it's dark
and creepy feeling, I'll say "it's dark and theirs a hissing sound in the air".An example would be " I feel really good about the new changes that are
being implemented here in this office. I have one percent faith in you that you can handle the load and that you will go above and beyond your normal
duties to achieve your quotas."... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Is It Sheer Genius?
Hi, Craig! Throughout this semester, I've found most, if not everything, you've submitted for both Professor Foreman's consideration and our
enjoyment quite impressive. More than once I have found myself using your work as a benchmark, comparing it against my own to see in what areas
my strengths lay and where there's room for improvement. It needn't get said, but I'll just go ahead and say it: this culminates all the spurts of
brilliance you've shown throughout this class and combines them into one neat and enthralling package. The idea of having students "[create] opening
scenes for a script that includes [scene] heading, [description] of [scene] and [action], [protagonist introductions and transitions] from Ordinary World
to Call to Adventure" is sheer genius in my book. Last year, I took a Screenwriting Fundamentals class here at Southern New Hampshire University
and had an incredible time, but the syllabus didn't include The Writer's Journey in any way/shape/form, nor did any of the students bring it up during
the many discussion board roundtables we had. Having had quality time here and there over the last few weeks to make a concerted effort at
accounting for everything Vogler mentions in the book, it seems as though whoever came up with the class's curriculum missed out on a major–league
opportunity. It's my sincere hope that later versions of the class will find ways to include the 'writer's journey' concept–the same way its author was on

House agreed to publish Loory's book under one condition: Loory had to have a well–known magazine publish one of his short stories. The New Yorker
published Loory's first 4,000–word short story, The TV, and with that, Penguin House published Loory's first book, Stories for Nighttime and Some
for The Day. In addition to his first book being published, Loory's stories have been published in numerous magazine publications, such as The
New Yorker, The Antioch Review, Gargoyle Magazine, and The Rattling Wall. Loory has had notable success with these stories. In 2008, Loory's

striving to improve their creative skills and become better.

A filmmaker is in charge of making, leading, and developing a film. The career of filmmaking allows individuals to show their leadership skills and
creative thinking skills by leading and directing film and television. ("Filmmaker." Filmmaker. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2015.) The director raises
money for the film's budget (either by getting it from the studio or paying out of pocket), finds filming locations, auditions actors, assembles a crew

A director can go about getting a script in a number of ways. Many directors write their own scripts. In addition to making the decisions on the set of
the film, creating the shots, and instructing the actors, beginning filmmakers may also need to write their own scripts if they want something to

My Career Path For A Teacher
On October 21, 2015 my cooperating teacher mocked me in front of my class. You see I was the student teacher in a second grade classroom at
Charles Olbon Elementary School. After class I went home, locked myself in my bedroom and I started pondering my future and my career path. I
thought I would not be a good teacher, why did I choose this career path? I choose this path because my friends and family saw me a teacher, but I
guess they do not know the real me. In 2003 at the age of ten years old I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My father saw me down at the kitchen
table and strongly advised me to go into an "easy" profession. He instructed me to become a teacher, therefore I mindlessly agreed to his requests.
Then when I entered college, I did not enjoy the teaching classes and I told my friends, family, and fellow teachers. However everyone told me the
similar line: "you will make a great teacher, you're just nervous cause you're almost graduating, just stick it out and get your degree." I listened to
others while ignoring my inner voice and passion. Now fast forward to October 23–25th I ended up skipping student teaching to go into the city for

Ringling University Scholarship Analysis
The atmosphere at Ringling College of Art and Design is too thin for me. While others here may be prospering, I've been left out to dry, desperately
searching for greater specific substance. At RCAD I can't find the variation of majors that are offered at NYU. I need a school that offers a

The Pros And Cons Of Screenwriting
Many people who dream of making it big in hollywood go straight to acting or directing. Many don't think about the "behind the scenes" workers,
screenwriters. Screenwriting gives you the freedom of speaking freely, expressing opinions and lets you use your imagination to write stories,
stories that will eventually become movies one day. Screenwriting about any genre you choose to write about could inspire people through words
and teach people through images. You could live the life so many dream of; being able to make movies. Screenwriting although competitive has
many unique features such as: it does not require multiple years of schooling, much training isn't needed and you can work from home. To become
a screenwriter you need to be able to take criticism, you need to be good at time management, you need to be creative, hardworking and
determined. Screenwriting has been around for ages in many different forms from onstage to in films. When screenwriting first began, a screenplay
was called a scenario. Scripting was mainly used for stage acting but as filming became popular it was used for movies. "In the 1890's films were
only about two minutes long. Scenarios were used to summarize and explain the short movies" (Donelly, Michelle). "The earliest movie to be similar

Screenwriting Personal Statement
I would like to pursue a screenwriting/playwriting major and a film/video major (and a minor in photography). I am interested in these majors
because It's been a clear vision of mine since I was a young kid.
Being an extremely shy kid, writing was my way of expressing how I was feeling. I can distinctively remember in 3rd grade, my teacher Ms. Jordan,
introducing me to poetry and creative story writing. I let my emotions, my heart, and my imagination in these creative works, and built myself up, into a
poet, and storyteller that I am today.I began binge–watch television shows and movies that impacted me and helped shaped my identity and realized
this is something I want to be doing for the rest of my life.
The more I grow/ am growing into my identity, and figuring out who I am, it clicked in my mind that being able to create, write, and film my own
bodies of work could be influential to others if I could reach such a caliber of excellence and status. Yet with influence comes responsibility, so in
creating my works, I would like to incorporate strong messages of positivity, truth, and vulnerability in what I would be creating. So, for me, being
able to be a part of Westphal's College is a stepping stone to get me to where I want to be, which is in thewriter's room and the director's chair with

Structure in any form of narrative is vital, whether it be in films, books, theatre, etc. It is a frame for a story to work within. While there is a traditional
method and formula to structuring a film narrative, filmmakers all over the world have experimented with breaking the norm and trying new ways to
structure a film. It tested the viewer's notion of what structure is and how a narrative can be told. It was also new and something that audiences were not
used to. Even now, a film that moves too far away from the traditional three–act–structure, is highly experimental and usually only seen in independent

"Act I, the screenwriter sets up the story, establishes character, launches the dramatic premise (what the story is about), illustrates the situation (the
circumstances surrounding the action), and creates the relationships between the main character and the other characters who inhabit the landscape of
his or her world." (Field,
2005:21)
At the end of the first act there is a turning point, also known as the 'inciting incident', that signals the start of the second act which is what Field
(2005:24) calls "Confrontation". While act one and act three usually translates to about roughly a quarter of the story's length each, act two is usually
half of the entire script. "During this second act the main character encounters obstacle after obstacle that keeps him/her from achieving his/her
dramatic need, which is defined as what
the character wants to win, gain, get, or achieve during the course of the screenplay." (Field, 2005:25) "...resolution means solution." (Field, 2005:26)
In the third and final act, the resolution, the story and characters reach a climax. Here the character usually faces his fears, overcomes his biggest
obstacles and defeats the antagonist, though not always. There is a de–escalation in act three. In the book "Story" (McKee, 1997:105–106) Robert

Modern Media Has Impacted Our Culture And Society
Introduction to Screenplays
There's been one thing that has been on the human mind centuries for centuries. Creativity. Creativity is the reason we have cars, airplanes,
government, movies, art. Writing. Even before colored movies, before the first movie, before Shakespeare, there's been a write behind everything,
behind every actor, behind every director. They're the whole reason you see what's on the screen, they birthed the movie from their hands and pen.
Screenwriting has been around for centuries and has greatly influenced the way modern media has impacted our culture and society.
Definition of Screenwriting What is screenwriting? Screenwriting is the craft of producing a script for a film, television product or a video game. A
script is the written text of a play, movie, television product, video game, it usually has stage directions, emotions lines, and actions. In this job, you
are not commonly hired, but instead contracted. The difference between the 2 is that hiring is usually your entire lifetime until you quit, are fired,
promoted, etc; However contracted means you have a specific set of goals or a job for a required amount of time until it expires, you complete the
job, or the contract renews and then you are paid. There are 2 types of screenwriters in the industry: Professional and Amateaur. Professional
screenwriters have a talent agency and are often paid for their work. Amateaur do not have these agencies, and are working for credit or a small sum of

Even if one plans on becoming a director and not a screenwriter one needs to know what kind of scripts to look for. This is very important for a
beginning small movie director since the reader will most likely be writing their own scripts to get some recognition. A script is a document that
outlines every aural, visual, behavioral, and lingual element required to tell a story, according to the dictionary definition at www.Wikidpedia.org. It
is crucial to remember that film is a visual medium. One doesn't tell the audience the story, one shows them. So what one will be writing is not a
novel but more like explaining a dream on paper. One must learn to write a screenplay visually. As famed director Darren Aronofsky said in an
interview with a struggling screenwriter trying to get published,
"Most of what one writes that doesn't work on screen will just be improvised on the movie set".
There are many important requirements for screenplays that may seem like minutia at first glance but the format of ones script is extremely important
since it will be submitted along with hundreds of others to one producer. For example, the main font in use in the U.S. by both publishers and the

The Elements Of Screenwriting
INTRODUCTION:
Film scriptwriting, also known as screenwriting, is a unique process or technique of presenting each detail including the visuals of the scenes or any
other related elements by compiling them into a written form. To write a particular film script, the scriptwriters have to take account of the elements in
screenwriting to produce a good fulfilled script. Even though writing a film script depends on the genre chosen, the elements in it will not change. Each
element in the structures plays an important role in order for the scriptwriters to produce as well as to sell their script to the filmmakers.
Blacker (1986) listed that, "Plot– The ordering and selection of scenes to tell a story and affect an audience. Character– The particulars ... Show more

Blacker (1986) wrote, "A character in a film is a representation of a person exhibiting certain personality traits selected for a dramatic purpose." (The
Elements of Screenwriting, p. 35). In a film, the characters exist to drive the story forward, to build tension within the story as they are about to bring
the viewers into it. The scriptwriter will establish the characters which fit in the story, and the most vital characters are theprotagonist and the
antagonist. The central character or the protagonist who is decorated with special strong points has to endure and overcome such obstacles, or has a
goal they want to reach in their life which will become the storyline the scriptwriter wanting to express. Opposite to the protagonist is the antagonist
who is associated with malevolent behaviours or plans to create misery, to wreck or to mess up with the protagonist's life. It is important for the
scriptwriter to introduce each character in their film script without making the description too broad or too specific. For an example, in 1969's film,
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, William Goldman had smoothly introduced a girl moving up behind Butch; its simple line of "She is reasonably
pretty, a little used." is enough to create an immediate impression of the

Comparing Clockwork Orange And Pulp Fiction
In this essay I will be discussing, in relation to their narratives, the movies Pulp Fiction (1994) and A Clockwork Orange (1971). I will be looking
at how each film conforms and subverts typical narrative conventions and I will be studying in depth the intended effect of these narratives on an
audience (the message and execution of the message being crucial aspects of the films that I will pay close attention to in my analysis). A broad
overview of both films would be that they are both rather typical in their approaches to the genre but do in many instances subvert conventions in
various ways especially in regard to narrative which in turn serve a wider purpose in regard to the films overall message and themes as well as its

Creative Writing In Avatar
Every writer has a beginning. This is the story of how I started out writing.
It all started when I was 16 when I went to the cinema to view James Cameron's comeback film Avatar. It was late 2009 when the film had just come
out in the middle of December. It was Cameron's comeback after a 12–year hiatus after the roaring success of Titanic in 1997 which won him
numerous Oscars. Needless to say, I loved it. The film was beautiful. I had never experienced a film where I would feel for the characters.
Yeah, that is a long time for a filmmaker to be on hiatus. Though, he was able to pull it off. Similar to when he took a long hiatus betweenThe
Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
"Good things come to those who wait." – Unknown
Avatar inspired me to begin writing fan fiction and the writing bug just took hold. The bug continued all throughout my two senior years of high school
(that's years 11 and 12 in Australia). I still write fanfiction from time to time. However, I haven't published anything in ages.
After high school, I went to film school and couldn't quite find where my niche laid. I wasn't an expert with cameras and I was awful at anything else.
When the second trimester rolled around, relief flooded me when I discovered that one of the classes was screenwriting. It was writing. Something that
I was familiar with, even if I had never written in that particular format before.

Martin Scoorsese's Influence On American Culture
Martin Scorsese is an award–winning film director and writer, who has created culture shaping movies over the past six decades. His work is dark,
gritty, real, and sometimes misinterpreted, which lead to a large scandal in the 1980's. However, its hard to deny the impact this director has left on
American culture. Martin Scorsese is an inspirational for his film directing and producing, screenwriting, and his effect on American culture. Martin
Scorsese began his career as a producer and director in 1967, with his first major film, "Who's That Knocking at My Door". As a director, he'd become
famous from his movie "Taxi Driver". This movie was released in 1976 and it starred Robert De Niro and Jodie Foster. Additionally, this film was
nominated for 8 major ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Scorsese wrote one of the most iconic movies in American history, "Goodfellas". "Goodfellas went on to triumph. It won widespread critical acclaim,
success at the box office and earned six Oscar nominations. Twenty–five years later, its recognition as a classic is near universal. Goodfellas didn't just
look authentic. For those who'd led the Mafia life it had a definite sense of the real thing. Twenty–five years on, Goodfellas is more than just special, it's
viewed as a real masterpiece, among the best pictures of the 1990s and possibly the best movie Martin Scorsese has ever made" (Tom Brook 2015).
"Goodfellas has the same dark heart, understanding that even as the audience watches on with horror, there's some tiny part of them that has
completely surrendered to the madness and the fun. That was Goodfellas's original genius and, even in retrospect, it seems impossible to equal"
(David Sims 2015). "Goodfellas" changed the way we viewed gangsters and the mafia. His screenwriting has told fantastic stories over the years. In

Analysis Of The Book ' Insomnia ' Essay
Every girl in my seventh grade English class wanted to be a writer. One wrote an entire essay on how Stephen King had stolen her ideas and used
them in his novel, "Insomnia." Another girl worked on a short story every day during class. Once, she asked me to read it and upon finishing the
second page, I'd realized she'd basically re–written the first chapter of James Paterson's "Maximum Ride." Yet another, the girl who'd sat across from
me, swore up and down she'd write a short story every day for the rest of her life. For a solid week, she had with her a black and white striped notebook
and for a week she sat at the lunch table and scribbled away while munching on fruit snacks. "It's my way of life, now", she'd said as she wrote
character drabbles on that gold–embossed paper. She did this for a week. On the eighth day, the notebook was nowhere to be seen. Instead, she carried
a suede and silver sketch pad and a box of colored pencils. "This is my way of life," she'd said, taking a handful of Cheez–Its and stuffing them into her
mouth.
I'd always enjoyed writing but I'd never been so vocal about it. For me, it happened quietly. My notebooks lie scattered over my bedroom floor; they
had no place at the lunch table. And my writing survived on my acknowledgments alone, I couldn't even imagine letting some else read it. This was

What are the benefits and challenges in indie film?
Independent film is a life born of passion. You have to love what you do. The main benefit is that you control your work, decide who you collaborate
with, and become fully actualized by the process.
You get to tell the stories you want to tell. There isn't someone over your shoulder telling you what you can and cannot do.
The main challenge though is financing: how to find it and how to work with very little of it. I've come to love this process. It's the creative version of
the Wild West and the "anything is possible" mentality of independent film can be exhilarating.
It appears that you have had a wide variety of experience in various roles––producer, director, writer, etc. What do you find the most interesting
/fulfilling about each role you've played in the film process?
I am a screenwriter, first and foremost. I love the solitude of the writing process: the introspection, the joy in that moment an idea comes to you and
the pleasure in creating a web of interlocking characters and stories. Independent film is made for the multitasker. Directing is much like coaching,
and I am a trained coach. I enjoy working with actors to bring about a rich realisation of story and character. It turns out I have a knack for producing,
which is a bit ironic because it's my least favourite of the three disciplines. I'm good with details, and I don't fluster easily.

Stereotypes In Hollywood
"You can't really divorce women's struggles in the world from women's in the cinema. As long as there's hierarchy it means that women are somehow

1900s that narrative films grew into such a significant part of popular culture. The occupation of screenwriting involves developing and creating scripts
for movies and television shows. Since the birth of the industry–as far back as silent movies–women have played roles in filmmaking, whether it be
directing, producing, or writing. While female screenwriters in Hollywood do not arrive in large numbers, women are more than capable of meeting ...

Historically, women have participated in industry affairs. For as long as movies have been a major part of popular culture, women have written them
(McCreadie 1–3). Movies in the 1930s alleviated nationwide sadness enacted by the Great Depression (McCreadie 67). However, just because they
were able to enter the business did not mean they never struggled against hyper–masculine studio executives who overwrote their ideas. Lillian
Hellman, exemplarily, wrote a script about Russia that studio heads promptly butchered to encourage anti–Russian attitudes in America (McCreadie
80). From this, one can deduce that women were commonly dismissed by male executives. Contemporary screenwriter Shonda Rhimes has also
remarked on the absence of diversity in the film and movie industry and the way being a black woman has affected her career. Rhimes is a part of
multiple minority groups which makes it easier for her to introduce sociopolitical issues into her TV shows and depict them from a genuine perspective
that appears to people of color, women, and the LGBT members of her audience (ironically, all minorities, that when combined make up the majority of
her viewers). Rhimes showed dissatisfaction at the need for identifiers in minority–led shows, such as "female–driven comedies" or "black shows"
(Myers). While shows about white men are standard, anything otherwise must be specified. This demonstrates the horrifically abysmal shortage of
women in the industry. Rhimes also remarked that she "was never going to get any further...if I just allowed myself to be the very nice girl who
wrote stuff...all of the things that are possible are never going to happen if you're busy waiting for someone to give you something. You have to take

It's a smart and fun idea that it's inside the tampon machine, although it's not clear how it got there. The idea of the statue comes early and sets up nice
anticipation.
However, the true inciting event is when Vinette discovers that she now has superpowers. This comes a bit late. Consider eliminating the dream. While
there are some fun visuals in the dream, such as the string of tampons, the dream slows the pace down and isn't essential to the storytelling.
Currently, the reveal that Vinette has changed comes around page 24, but consider trying to move this up to around page 15. Make sure to highlight
her denial and have fun with her discovering her new powers.
The first act also sets up the idea of drugs being distributed at the school. So, when Vinette discovers she has powers and decides she wants to fight
crime, given her desire to be a cop, make sure she verbalizes that she wants to find out who is dealing drugs at the school. This makes her goal
clearer and more tangible. She can decide to practice her new skills at crime fighting, but this is where the structure is the weakest. There's a series of
scenes in which she talks to her friends and then goes on several crime–stopping adventures.
Unfortunately, this makes the structure weaker and a bit more fragmented. Also, the idea of attempted rape doesn't fit with the tone. Consider focusing

A "scenarist"––someone who came up with funny situations for silent films––was the early form of what would eventually become the screenwriting
industry. Since the silent films being made in the 1890 's had no dialogue, it wasn 't until the emergence of sound infilm, in the 1920 's, that writers
flocked to Hollywood in order to become a part of the new, promising industry. ("Cinema") Screenwriting is the workmanship and art of composing
scripts for mass media communications like feature films, television,and video games. Screenwriters are in charge of looking into the story,
developing the narrative, actually writing the screenplay, and presenting it to industry executives. Screenwriters have the greatest influence over the
creative direction and tone of the work. They can "pitch", or tell the main points of their story with the goal of convincing the executives into backing
the project or they can also be commissioned by some executive or producer to create a screenplay based on some already pre–existing concept, true
story, or an adaptation of a book. Until now, the avenues a screenwriter took in order to share his or her screenplays were much more limited compared
to the large scale ability for dissemination the internet now affords screenwriting. With the arrival of the internet, the screenwriting industry has

Pulp Fiction Research Paper

Briefly describe why they're your favorite. – If I had 3 of my favorite movies, I would say they are: 1.I am Legend 2.American Gangster 3.Avatar Will Smith and Denzel Washington are among some of the greatest actors I have seen on the big screen. Smith's passion to complete his mission of cleansing the planet, mixed with the hardships of feeling like he is the last man on earth made for a film experience I could put myself inside as he faced obstacles throughout the movie. American Gangster was simply a movie that taught me to: 1) Stay away from drugs, because even the best masterminds can be taken down, 2) The man in the room that makes the most ...

If there is a difference for you, please list the films and briefly why you consider them to be "perfect" films. 1.Pulp Fiction 2.Godfather I do not have a third, as these are two of the best films made in my life so far. In the case of Pulp Fiction, the way the story is told in a jumble, and later clarified for a complete story creates a drama that takes us on a rollercoaster of events. Admittedly, there are probably things in the film that I have missed in my two viewings of it. Godfather is just a classic film that I feel all movie lovers must watch. 3. Favorite TV show right now? – My favorite television show right now is Grimm. I enjoy how they found a way to integrate the stories children grow up on in a story that does not make the idea absurd. 4. What screenwriters and directors should Imagine be working with? Imagine is working with many of the screenwriters I have come to love in growing up, including Dave Chappelle, Robert Downey Jr., and Jay Z – to

To give a better example, in Maggie Paley's "Terry Southern: The Art of Screenwriting, by Interview" the most important points are the fact that: Hollywood isn't what it used to be anymore The show–business industry doesn't allow writer to fully expand their ideas without lots of modifications that will potentially alter the story Actors need micro–management in order to produce at the best of their abilities. On the other hand, in Charles C. Mann's "State of the Species" the most important point is based on natural selection and the downfall of evolution.

  • 5. Safe Haven: The Song Say Anything By Tristan Prettyman Picture yourself sitting in the theater while you're getting ready to watch the most thrilling drama movie of your life. As soon as Safe Haven starts, the song "Say Anything" by Tristan Prettyman begins to play and you automatically might think this is going to be a sad movie. Safe Haven is an appealing, compelling romance that will no doubt thrill the ladies, and not be too terribly of a chore for their menfolk to endure. While it might not be the most artistic or daring, it is a charming, harmless film appealing to most audiences of the romance genre due to its vivid cinematography, well–assembled screenwriting/dialogue, and outstanding acting. Safe Haven was released in 2013 by Relativity Media Studio and produced by Nicholas Sparks and ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Julianne Hough starring as Katie Feldman began her acting career in the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". However, she more recently starred in the movies "Footloose" and "Rock of Ages." Hough also performed multiple times on "Dancing with the Stars" winning seasons 4 and 5. Reporter Sheila Roberts asks Julianne, "Julianne, can you talk about playing a domestic violence victim, what it was like and your research for it?" Julianne replies, "It's a big responsibility to do it right, to where if somebody has gone through that, it feels real and honest to them. I went and talked to women in shelters. I know people, friends, family, my own experiences, but at the same time, it was such a safe environment to do it in" (collider.com). Acting technique is paramount to anyone wanting to become a serious actor. The goal of a trained actor is to become a fully realized three–dimensional character, with a rich backstory. "I think both Katie and I are fighters. People say it's easy to walk away, but it's sometimes not. It's sometimes harder to walk away in situations.

  • 6. Grana Parmesan Joose Essay 2. Italian cheese–maker asks US soap opera for damages over Parmesan 'Joke' Italian producers of Italian hard cheese Grana Padano have started legal proceedings against long–running US soap–opera 'The Brave and the Beautiful' after their product was the butt of a joke in a scene broadcast last year. In the scene, the shows protagonist, Charlie Webber, cooks a meal at home. However, halfway through Webber realizes he has brought Grana Padano cheese instead of its more famous cousin, Parmigiano Reggiano. At this point, Webber becomes angry with himself for having brought the wrong cheese and entirely abandons his cookery project. The CBS soap–opera, which follows the fortunes of a Los Angeles fashion house has been running since 1987 is broadcast in over 100 million countries and reaches an estimated 300 million viewers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... After checking that the Italian channel Mediaset, who broadcast the show in Italy had faithfully dubbed the scene – the Grana Padano consortiums' lawyers filed a damages complaint against the show. "The screenwriting breaks US comparative advertising laws due to the disparaging tone and attitude the actor shows towards our product," explained Consortium Director, Stefano Berni. US Advertising laws state that two products can be directly compared and that people can be shown to have a personal preference for one over the other, but legislation states that claims which "expressly or implicitly damage a competing product" run the risk of being ruled deceptive. "The problem is that Grana Padano, like The Bold and the Beautiful, is a global product and the negative message broadcast could have reached hundreds of millions of people," Berni added. Italy exports more than €750 million euros worth of Grana Padano cheese each year, with the USA being the top foreign market for the cheese after

  • 8. Jennifer Joel's Influenced My Writing His enterer life, he had wanted to be an author, he wrote books all through high school and college, but none of them ever got published. So, after college, decided to give writing movies a try. He moved out to Hollywood with some friends and started writing spec scripts. Ended up getting his first screenwriting assignment within a few months. Needed to have a temporary job reading scripts at a small production company and convinced them that they should just hire him to write any movies they wanted. That led to getting a manager, that led to him getting representation at an agency, which led to bigger jobs in movies and TV. However, after many years of this, he decided the time had come to try writing books again. His agency had a book department, so asked if he could talk to someone there. A literary agent named Jennifer Joel looked over his TV & film work and called to ask if he had ever considered writing middle grade. Up until that moment, hadn't but realized Jenn was right That was exactly what he ought to be writing. He even had an idea for an adult novel – a mystery about a dead hippo – that would be far better for middle grade. This was only about seven years ago, but even then, there weren't that many people writing middle grade novels for boys. He didn't have to write the whole book. Jenn could sell it to Simon & Schuster based upon his pitch, an outline and a few sample chapters. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He was born on June 11, 1969.

  • 9. Clarity, Arrangement, Credibility, And Expectations The five cognate strategies I chose were, Clarity, Tone, Arrangement, Credibility, and Expectations. Clarity in writing is giving a clear understanding about what you are talking about. I've used clarity in my writing as a screenwriter by describing a character with clear and precise wording. An example would be, " I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and I won't be back for a month. Lisa Taylor will take over my position in my absence. Take care". Clarity is when you are explicit with the details you are relaying in your message. Specific details are key. Tone is how you express yourself. The mood of the information you're relaying. I've used Tone in my screenwriting to set a certain tone to the scene. If it's dark and creepy feeling, I'll say "it's dark and theirs a hissing sound in the air".An example would be " I feel really good about the new changes that are being implemented here in this office. I have one percent faith in you that you can handle the load and that you will go above and beyond your normal duties to achieve your quotas."... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The hierarchy. Putting in order a list of things. An example in a letter would be " We have three floors and a Three Tiered System. The Top floor is for Higher management.

  • 10. Is It Sheer Genius? Hi, Craig! Throughout this semester, I've found most, if not everything, you've submitted for both Professor Foreman's consideration and our enjoyment quite impressive. More than once I have found myself using your work as a benchmark, comparing it against my own to see in what areas my strengths lay and where there's room for improvement. It needn't get said, but I'll just go ahead and say it: this culminates all the spurts of brilliance you've shown throughout this class and combines them into one neat and enthralling package. The idea of having students "[create] opening scenes for a script that includes [scene] heading, [description] of [scene] and [action], [protagonist introductions and transitions] from Ordinary World to Call to Adventure" is sheer genius in my book. Last year, I took a Screenwriting Fundamentals class here at Southern New Hampshire University and had an incredible time, but the syllabus didn't include The Writer's Journey in any way/shape/form, nor did any of the students bring it up during the many discussion board roundtables we had. Having had quality time here and there over the last few weeks to make a concerted effort at accounting for everything Vogler mentions in the book, it seems as though whoever came up with the class's curriculum missed out on a major–league opportunity. It's my sincere hope that later versions of the class will find ways to include the 'writer's journey' concept–the same way its author was on to something when he came ...

  • 11. Ben Loory 's Career As A Writer Ben Loory did not start off his career as an author; he began his career as a screenwriter. Born and raised in Dover, New Jersey, Loory now resides in Los Angeles, California. Loory graduated from Harvard University in 1993, where he concentrated on visual and environmental studies. After graduating from Harvard, he attended the American Film Institute in LA, and received an MFA in screenwriting. Loory worked as a screenwriter for six years. As a screenwriter, Loory worked under numerous successful writers, including Jodie Foster, Alex Proyas, and Mark Johnson.

The old friend wanted to become Loory's agent, and wanted to use his short stories to present to publishing houses. After some time, the agent was able to get the book sold to Penguin House. Penguin House agreed to publish Loory's book under one condition: Loory had to have a well–known magazine publish one of his short stories. The New Yorker published Loory's first 4,000–word short story, The TV, and with that, Penguin House published Loory's first book, Stories for Nighttime and Some for The Day. In addition to his first book being published, Loory's stories have been published in numerous magazine publications, such as The New Yorker, The Antioch Review, Gargoyle Magazine, and The Rattling Wall. Loory has had notable success with these stories. In 2008, Loory's story "Photographs was a finalist in the Glimmer Train Short Story Award for New Writers Contest." (2) In addition, Loory is a winner of the "2012 Nobbie Award for Book of the Year." Loory is a member of the Writers Guild of America. Through a Skype interview, it came to knowledge that all of Loory's short stories are influenced by one short story, The Octopus. "The inspiration for all of that story was about me leaving my family to L.A." In addition, Loory has always had high hopes of one of his short stories being optioned for a movie.

No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and your fee." Anyone can be a filmmaker if they please. But while filmmaking is easy to learn, it takes years of practice. Many filmmakers take years honing their craft, striving to improve their creative skills and become better. From the 19th century to the present, filmmaking has been a growing and succeeding career.

Fortune Magazine, n.d. Web. 01 Dec. 2015.) Technicolor filmed musicals such as The Wizard of Oz and animated films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Color processing changed filmmaking and made filmmakers more conscious of color choices in scenes. A filmmaker is in charge of making, leading, and developing a film. The career of filmmaking allows individuals to show their leadership skills and creative thinking skills by leading and directing film and television. ("Filmmaker." Filmmaker. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2015.) The director raises money for the film's budget (either by getting it from the studio or paying out of pocket), finds filming locations, auditions actors, assembles a crew (cameramen, makeup artists, etc.), and directs the film. A director can go about getting a script in a number of ways. Many directors write their own scripts. In addition to making the decisions on the set of the film, creating the shots, and instructing the actors, beginning filmmakers may also need to write their own scripts if they want something to produce.

  • 13. My Career Path For A Teacher On October 21, 2015 my cooperating teacher mocked me in front of my class. You see I was the student teacher in a second grade classroom at Charles Olbon Elementary School. After class I went home, locked myself in my bedroom and I started pondering my future and my career path. I thought I would not be a good teacher, why did I choose this career path? I choose this path because my friends and family saw me a teacher, but I guess they do not know the real me. In 2003 at the age of ten years old I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My father saw me down at the kitchen table and strongly advised me to go into an "easy" profession. He instructed me to become a teacher, therefore I mindlessly agreed to his requests. Then when I entered college, I did not enjoy the teaching classes and I told my friends, family, and fellow teachers. However everyone told me the similar line: "you will make a great teacher, you're just nervous cause you're almost graduating, just stick it out and get your degree." I listened to others while ignoring my inner voice and passion. Now fast forward to October 23–25th I ended up skipping student teaching to go into the city for Robert McKee's Story and Storynomics seminar class.

Scenarios were used to summarize and explain the short movies" (Donelly, Michelle).

Where others only want to see a show or a movie, I have always wanted to be behind the scenes in the creation of the art. Being behind the scene and being involved in the creation of the film has always fascinated me. When I was a in 3rd grade I remember watching the Golden Girls. One Saturday morning, I turned to Lifetime, and there was an elderly lady who was so short and cute, I just could not turn the channel. The woman's name was Sophia and she made me laugh from the time I had started watching the TV show until it had gone off. That day Lifetime was running a marathon of the Golden Girls; those four ladies made me giggle, and smile. So it was then that I started to wonder about who is behind the TV shows and movies, because I saw myself being that person. At that time I did not know about a producer or film maker all that I knew is that I wanted to become a part of tv shows.

This is very important for a beginning small movie director since the reader will most likely be writing their own scripts to get some recognition. A script is a document that outlines every aural, visual, behavioral, and lingual element required to tell a story, according to the dictionary definition at www.Wikidpedia.org. It is crucial to remember that film is a visual medium. One doesn't tell the audience the story, one shows them. So what one will be writing is not a novel but more like explaining a dream on paper. One must learn to write a screenplay visually.

  • 27. The Elements Of Screenwriting INTRODUCTION: Film scriptwriting, also known as screenwriting, is a unique process or technique of presenting each detail including the visuals of the scenes or any other related elements by compiling them into a written form. To write a particular film script, the scriptwriters have to take account of the elements in screenwriting to produce a good fulfilled script. Even though writing a film script depends on the genre chosen, the elements in it will not change. Each element in the structures plays an important role in order for the scriptwriters to produce as well as to sell their script to the filmmakers. Blacker (1986) listed that, "Plot– The ordering and selection of scenes to tell a story and affect an audience. Character– The particulars ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Blacker (1986) wrote, "A character in a film is a representation of a person exhibiting certain personality traits selected for a dramatic purpose." (The Elements of Screenwriting, p. 35). In a film, the characters exist to drive the story forward, to build tension within the story as they are about to bring the viewers into it. The scriptwriter will establish the characters which fit in the story, and the most vital characters are theprotagonist and the antagonist. The central character or the protagonist who is decorated with special strong points has to endure and overcome such obstacles, or has a goal they want to reach in their life which will become the storyline the scriptwriter wanting to express. Opposite to the protagonist is the antagonist who is associated with malevolent behaviours or plans to create misery, to wreck or to mess up with the protagonist's life. It is important for the scriptwriter to introduce each character in their film script without making the description too broad or too specific. For an example, in 1969's film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, William Goldman had smoothly introduced a girl moving up behind Butch; its simple line of "She is reasonably pretty, a little used." is enough to create an immediate impression of the ...

It all started when I was 16 when I went to the cinema to view James Cameron's comeback film Avatar. It was late 2009 when the film had just come out in the middle of December. It was Cameron's comeback after a 12–year hiatus after the roaring success of Titanic in 1997 which won him numerous Oscars. Needless to say, I loved it. The film was beautiful. I had never experienced a film where I would feel for the characters. Yeah, that is a long time for a filmmaker to be on hiatus. Though, he was able to pull it off.

The main benefit is that you control your work, decide who you collaborate with, and become fully actualized by the process. You get to tell the stories you want to tell. There isn't someone over your shoulder telling you what you can and cannot do. The main challenge though is financing: how to find it and how to work with very little of it. I've come to love this process. It's the creative version of the Wild West and the "anything is possible" mentality of independent film can be exhilarating. It appears that you have had a wide variety of experience in various roles––producer, director, writer, etc. What do you find the most interesting /fulfilling about each role you've played in the film process?

Historically, women have participated in industry affairs. For as long as movies have been a major part of popular culture, women have written them (McCreadie 1–3). Movies in the 1930s alleviated nationwide sadness enacted by the Great Depression (McCreadie 67). However, just because they were able to enter the business did not mean they never struggled against hyper–masculine studio executives who overwrote their ideas. Lillian Hellman, exemplarily, wrote a script about Russia that studio heads promptly butchered to encourage anti–Russian attitudes in America (McCreadie 80). From this, one can deduce that women were commonly dismissed by male executives. Contemporary screenwriter Shonda Rhimes has also remarked on the absence of diversity in the film and movie industry and the way being a black woman has affected her career. Rhimes is a part of multiple minority groups which makes it easier for her to introduce sociopolitical issues into her TV shows and depict them from a genuine perspective that appears to people of color, women, and the LGBT members of her audience (ironically, all minorities, that when combined make up the majority of her viewers). Rhimes showed dissatisfaction at the need for identifiers in minority–led shows, such as "female–driven comedies" or "black shows" (Myers). While shows about white men are standard, anything otherwise must be specified. This demonstrates the horrifically abysmal shortage of women in the industry. Rhimes also remarked that she "was never going to get any further...if I just allowed myself to be the very nice girl who wrote stuff...all of the things that are possible are never going to happen if you're busy waiting for someone to give you something.

She's the type of character an ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It's a smart and fun idea that it's inside the tampon machine, although it's not clear how it got there. The idea of the statue comes early and sets up nice anticipation. However, the true inciting event is when Vinette discovers that she now has superpowers. This comes a bit late. Consider eliminating the dream. While there are some fun visuals in the dream, such as the string of tampons, the dream slows the pace down and isn't essential to the storytelling. Currently, the reveal that Vinette has changed comes around page 24, but consider trying to move this up to around page 15. Make sure to highlight her denial and have fun with her discovering her new powers. The first act also sets up the idea of drugs being distributed at the school. So, when Vinette discovers she has powers and decides she wants to fight crime, given her desire to be a cop, make sure she verbalizes that she wants to find out who is dealing drugs at the school. This makes her goal clearer and more tangible. She can decide to practice her new skills at crime fighting, but this is where the structure is the weakest. There's a series of scenes in which she talks to her friends and then goes on several crime–stopping adventures. Unfortunately, this makes the structure weaker and a bit more fragmented. Also, the idea of attempted rape doesn't fit with the tone. Consider focusing more on her investigation of who might be distributing the drugs. Peel away her powers. The idea of ...

  • 36. English Major Personal Statement I was initially attracted to the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) because I discovered that within its English major there is a creative writing program, which appeals to my desire to continue studying literature while at the same time developing my skills and exploring my creativity as a writer. The program within the major involves multiple workshops and tutorials on both poetry and fiction, which can provide me with the independence and flexibility to learn by writing original content and develop my own portfolio of work. Furthermore, courses within the LSA's English major are very diverse, ranging from Intro to Autobiography to Native American Literature. This diversity will help me form a strong foundation in literature through the study of works from many eras, genres, and styles. This exposure to such a diversity of literature will also help me hone in on what style of writing I like the best and want to continue to study in my future academic career as well as in personal projects. ...

If I decide I want to focus on screenwriting rather than general creative writing, I can major in Screen Arts and Culture and sub–major in Screenwriting, while still being able to minor in English through the LSA English minor. The Screen Arts and Culture major is the perfect combination of general courses and production courses and, like the English major, is very wide in scope and will make me very insightful on visual media of the past, present, and future on a global scale.

  • 43. Million Dollar Baby By Alan Eastwood 1. In large part this is a victory of execution over conception. Eastwood tells the story so well, and draws such committed performances from his co–stars, that there's little opportunity to snicker at the innate silliness. Morgan Freeman may be the best voiceover artist alive, his world–weary humanism perfectly modulated to the tone of this film. In his mouth even the tritest, most overwritten analogy feels grounded in experience. Along with a haunting, minimalist piano score composed by Eastwood himself, Freeman's wistful narration ties together Million Dollar Baby's heroic and tragic phases and offers the first signal that it will not be a typical sports movie. There is no doubt that this film's plot is beautifully organized containing a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Since the silent films being made in the 1890 's had no dialogue, it wasn 't until the emergence of sound infilm, in the 1920 's, that writers flocked to Hollywood in order to become a part of the new, promising industry. ("Cinema") Screenwriting is the workmanship and art of composing scripts for mass media communications like feature films, television,and video games. Screenwriters are in charge of looking into the story, developing the narrative, actually writing the screenplay, and presenting it to industry executives. Screenwriters have the greatest influence over the creative direction and tone of the work. They can "pitch", or tell the main points of their story with the goal of convincing the executives into backing the project or they can also be commissioned by some executive or producer to create a screenplay based on some already pre–existing concept, true story, or an adaptation of a book. Until now, the avenues a screenwriter took in order to share his or her screenplays were much more limited compared to the large scale ability for dissemination the internet now affords screenwriting.
