TIME

You need to create a movie that is centered around TIME. 
How you choose to portray time is up to you-Here are a few general ideas, but you are not limited to these:

     -Time moving Fast
     -Time moving Slow
     -Time standing still
     -A time Limit

EXAMPLES:
The Time Machine

12 Monkeys

Phone Booth

 

The Lake House

 

1 day assignment

Everyone must recreate 1-2 yard signs.  

Try to take your own picture and make the designs more unique then what you see here. 

Below are examples of the previous signs.

Children's Books=Movies

Let's take a look at a few Children's books that were successfully turned into movies.  Usually there is a twist to the original or more added to what already existed.  Don't be afraid to add to your movie.  It will make it more interesting for us as your viewers.  I LIKE TO SEE CREATIVITY THAT YOU COME UP WITH ON YOUR OWN!

Hansel & Gretel

This one is about to come out in the theaters on January 25th.  Let's read the book and take a look at the trailer together. 

 

Hook

This movie is a sequel to the famous PETER PAN.  Let's take a look.
