7 Common Myths About The Brain - Business Insider - 0 views

  •  
    The main point of the article is to just go over 7 myths of the brain and why they are not entirely true. For example, some people say that you only use 10% of your brain, but really you use many parts of your brain which are all equal to more than 10%, so the myth is completely incorrect. The purpose is to expose to people that not everything you hear in movies or see on social media is always correct, and that by letting people know about these myths, they will think twice about accepting truth from everything on the internet. But the topic that is covered is that some brain "facts" are actually myths, and the article chooses 7 to debunk, like the myth that we humans only use 10% of our brain; That's entirely not true. We use far more than 10% of our brain, because we use different PARTS of our brains, all at different times. This myth being debunked is important because it doesn't make us sound so stupid (using only 1/10 of our brain power), but it also contradicts every movie, like Limitless, and Lucy, which are about people which gain control of more than 10% of their brains, in which the results are supposed to be drastic, like the ability to freeze time. If someone were to ask about this article, I would simply tell them that the article goes over 7 of the biggest myths of the brain, and debunks them, and has data to back it.

A Christmas Carol - 0 views

  •  
    I watched the movie version of "A Christmas Carol" with Kelsey Grammar and Jennifer Love Hewitt. This version is the one closest to the musical script that we used for the fall musical. An enjoyable movie that helped me visualize the characters and understand the story in another way.

Dialogue Dos and Don'ts - 0 views

  • Dialogue Dos and Don’ts
  •  
    This website helped me learn how to write dialogue smoothly and flow-like like in a movie or in a real life conversation. It told me what to do and what not to do which was helpful. I learned that dialogue sets the character's mood towards another character in the story and that was something that I wanted to learn more on. I think I expanded my knowledge of writing dialogue by finding this website!

    This site had the entire "To Kill A Mockingbird" screenplay and was helpful in understanding how writing is changed into the form of a screenplay and how the screenplay then forms the movie.

'Fed Up' Theatrical Trailer - 0 views

    I got this trailer via Russel and Ms. Camera and it looks great. I suggest to anyone who is concerned about the obesity epidemic and would like to educate themselves on the subject of sugar and how it is related to our health, as well as how it is perceived in our society.

    This is definitely one of the best french movies ever made. It is a touching story about true friends (as cheesy as that sounds). It is great to watch whether you speak french or you don't. It has a great plot.

    Good article explaining how ski cinematographers use new technology to increase quality of ski films. The technology discussed could be applied to any filming type, even the big screen.

Screenplay Formatting - 0 views

    This site showed many different ways of formatting a screenplay and explanations of each example so that everything was clear. Each example was from a real movie and that made it a very trustworthy site.

Read Maze Runner - 0 views

    I was looking for a good book to read and I came across the movie trailer for the Maze Runner. It looked exciting so I thought that I should read the book. I did and even though I'm not usually into Sci-Fi, I found the book very exciting and interesting.

This is an incredibly interesting source of information, as it doubles as a news feed and a way to practice French and test knowledge. The French is more difficult as it is for intellectual people,...

    It is very useful because it teaches students new words in a fun and creative way. It isn't the same as listening to it on a movie or a radio, but it allows the student to learn to spell the words as well, and learn conjugations.
