That was the first thing discussed, but it really gets me thinking about what films get funding. The financial side of filmmaking is just so complicated.]]> 2020-02-12 02:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444120648 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444121663 This is somewhat off-topic, but it is a thought I had. Woody Allen is a creep. Who marries their (basically) adopted daughter??
It also makes me think, because people continue to work with people like that because they are good at what they do and their films make money.]]> 2020-02-12 02:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444121663 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444151814 It's crazy how many films use kids considering how difficult it is to film with them (unpredictable and can only work 4 hours at a time). It also makes you think about how difficult acting can be on children. There are many popular actors today who have suffered from stardom in their childhood. ]]> 2020-02-12 04:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444151814 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444152623 2020-02-12 04:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444152623 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444154464 It's crazy yet discouraging how much movies cost to make. When Jim Burke said something like "the studios think 20 million is a cheapie", I felt kinda weird. Twenty million is a lot of money but film is such a big industry that it is like nothing! ]]> 2020-02-12 04:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444154464 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444155499 I realized, I barely know what a producer does. They are important but at the same time I have a very small idea of what they do. I would say a lot of people think producers have the money and they just walk around set being important. Roles in filmmaking are so much bigger than we think of. ]]> 2020-02-12 04:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444155499 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444157456 "Time is more emotional than chronological."

I spend the majority of my life acting (stage and screen) and it is so clear how different it is being directed by someone without acting experience vs. with. It is good for someone like a director, producer, or screenwriter, it is good to know what it is like to know what the others on your team are going through. It helps create a fuller experience to know more than one part of a system.]]> 2020-02-12 04:45:12 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444157960 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444158660 I love how all these writers talked about how personal many of their scripts were. Its hard to come up with ideas sometimes, but knowing people have created such interesting, successful movies based on their personal experiences is inspiring. ]]> 2020-02-12 04:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444158660 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444159659 Adapting a book into a screenplay is a lot harder than we audience members give the writers credit for. There is so much to include! Sometimes book to movie adaptations feel lackluster, but there is no way to fit every beloved detail into a two hour movie.]]> 2020-02-12 04:53:53 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444159659 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444160957 I feel like the writers are under-appreciated  by audiences. The only screenwriters I can think of off the top of my head are writer/directors. ]]> 2020-02-12 05:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444160957 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444162425 Well, I didn't know The Help was written and directed by a white guy. That surprised me. 

I attached a really interesting article about how Viola Davis regrets doing the help movie. ]]> 2020-02-12 05:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444162425 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444163208 There is a clear lack of POC in these panels we watched. ]]> 2020-02-12 05:13:46 UTC https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444163208 asj3v https://padlet.com/asj3v/ich21j76hvua/wish/444163795 It's interesting how many films go unfinished.

Even great writers struggle.
