Class 3 - Notes

Discussed summaries of Chapter two and reviewed information.

Read some of 1 paragraph stories out loud; discussed meaning behind some stories and suggested directions. Learned how to use FreeMind - free mindmapping software. Created a mind map of 1 paragraph story- see below. (click to see larger)


Talked about Inter-textual references in films such as the King Kong reference of the giant gate in Jurassic Park. References in films are usually made explicitly clear. List references that you use in your stories for ideas.

Also listed opposites in Jurassic park for an example. And discussed how to make a time line of your film with events in a linear sequence.

Pan's Labyrinth: (in class exercise)

Intertextual references - alice in wonderland, spainish civil war

Inspirational - fairytales, nightmares, religion, greek mythology, childhood to adulthood journey

Homework:
