BBB Video Treatment

The theme for the BBB video contest is trust. The definition of trust is: "Belief that someone or something is reliable, good, honest, effective." Trust is something that you cannot achieve all by yourself. Trust is between at least one other person and yourself. Trust takes a long time to develop, and is easy to break. Trust is the most valuable but fragile thing on this Earth.

For the video, I wanted to interview some people to see what they had to say about trust. I interviewed two people, my friends Griffin Johnston and Lindsey Meyers. Both of their definitions of trust really focussed on the trust between friends, and how important it is. I wanted to shape my video around their definitions, and because their definitions both focussed on friendship, I decided to film people interacting with their friends. I had to sneak around and film people without them knowing then ask their permission afterwards. I feel there is no way to truly describe trust: it must be shown through action, which is why my video is the way it is.

Oh, also, I did the color palette to show different moods. Sometimes things are bright, sometimes their not, but it's always better when you have people you trust around you.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Recently, I went to the theaters to watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I did not expect much from it, mainly because I was mad that American Hustle was sold out, but it really surprised me. I expected this movie to be average, and to many people who saw it it was, but to me it was inspiring. I could really relate to Walter Mitty, because he was a dreamer, trapped in a regular world but had an imagination that could take him anywhere in the world. I am notorious for zoning out: often times I don't even realize that people are around me. I think I'm off living an exciting life, when really I'm in pre-calculus. Maybe that's why I love this movie so much, because I have never related to a character as much as I have to Walter Mitty. He's shy, awkward, yet in his mind he's outspoken and brave. I love this movie because it reminded me of who I could be. Also the shots were so beautiful and they went to locations like the Himalayas, so it looked almost like a NorthFace commercial. (which I love). I am planning on buying this movie as soon as it comes out. I know most people don't feel the same way as I do about this movie, but I don't even care. I love it soooo much. 20 out of 10. ^_^

Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood

My mom was very determined to have me watch this movie. The movie is about a group of friends who are very old, but have remained very close. One of the member's daughters has become distant from her mother, but seeing the scrapbook that her mother let her understand her mother more, and understand why her mother did certain things.

It was a decent movie. Nothing spectacular, but it was cute. It was a typical chick flick without romance. Just a mother daughter movie. The filming wasn't spectacular. The acting wasn't revolutionary. It was a purely meh movie. It's not a movie I'm just dying to watch again. It was decent. I don't know what else to say about it. It just did not impress me at all whatsoever. Movies like that usually have a good story line, but nope. It was just average.
