The American Dream?

Alas I could not find the article I was suppose to read, "Founding Brothers: Kane, Corleone, and the American dream," but I will try to answer the question as best I can. To much avail I can't truely think of any other tragic ends to people who persue the American dream in terms of what these characters have been surrounded in. The idea of wealth and power are things we can look for but some don't get. A pursuit of freedom and wealth I can think of Lenny from Of Mice and Men, he was trying to break free of his poor postion but he could not fit in to the world he wanted to be in because of his mental handicap.
Maybe I can refer to Fear and loathing in Las Vegas; that is Hunter S. Thompson's reason for going to Las Vegas, to find the American dream. He says he does find it at the casino that is a circus. He tells the story of the owner and how he came from being a nobody to owning a very busy casino in Las Vegas; gaining all this power and money, every one comes to Las Vegas for that quick trip to fame and fortune but it rarely happens. The American dream isn't freedom anymore its wealth and power and when you pursue that to hard the end results can only be tragic.

The Thousand Words

Well, we say a picture is worth a thousand words but I'm not sure if I can give you that many about this one. I woke up and took the picture at noon on Sunday, today, and it was of me looking out my bedroom window. As you can tell my Landcruiser is in the photo, I have a tree as well. There are other buildings in the back ground giving it a good sense of distance there are also the bars that section of the window adding to that effect. Th only thing truly in the center of the picture is the lock on the window , its the first things you really focus in on. Its not a bad picture but too bad the screen makes it look really blurry.

Progress 2

I've figured I'm gonna do the scene where we go somewhere else in my car, it will be something different and hopefully prove to be worth it.
I plan on only using two people in the film, easier for dialouge and scheduling filming will be easier with that fewer people.
I plan to work on the dialouge and maybe have a rough draft up next week but tests might not allow it. lets hope for the best and go with it.

Title Characters

So a film title is suppose to be a glimpse into what the show or movie is about. The font and other elements give ideas as to what is going on. I recently started watching a show I hadn't seen in a while and decided I would write about its title. The is The Invisible Man, a short lived series on the sci-fi channel and it was good for what is the a-typical sci-fi channel show. Now the title may look like any other show title but I feel it does do a little to give its. A short synopsis is given by the main character then the opening credits start. The actors name appears with clips of the character but the fonts used is interesting. Its looks like sans serif or miscellaneous letter but I'm not too sure. What is interesting about it, its whole but then a line starts to go out around it like and invisible layer or showing character development. Then The title appears like the Invisible man would with a layer of quicksilver forming around him, then it disappears to a black background and the show starts.

Progress 1

I haven't really done much for my project since working on the main proposal. I have scouted some places out for the possible scene where I change location. I'll get some pics up when I decided to charge my camera again. The places are: a car, this huge tree in the Brooks Center parking lot, the benches outside Vickery, and maybe at the boat house on the beach or dock. I plan on shooting the rest of the scenes in my apartment.
