i don' t think it' s a coincidence that hoover prep school' s colors are pink and green! my favorite scene in making the grade was judd nelson' s transformation from badass to prep. i was already a huge fan of judd nelson from his roles in the breakfast club and st. elmo' s fire so that probably made me like the movie even more. have you seen making the grade ?

if any of you remember john bender from the breakfast club, then eddie keaton of making the grade will seem familiar. they are similar, except that john bender has more depth. making the grade is a silly, sometimes funny, parody of the
preppy
lifestyle. it makes fun of everything from wearing no socks, to the bright, peppy colors. it' s an all around funny movie. this is judd' s first movie, and i recommend it to all of you who enjoy his work. for those of you who don' t, i suggest you watch it anyway, and make an opinion for yourself... ! * + * anna * + *

making the grade is not only an ok comedy, it gives a name to a person who once was a sylvester stallone look alike from brooklyn. this man is andrew clay, who gets a role in this movie named dice, who would later take dice and make it his nick name. but enough about him, this film is also a good teen comedy (not the best by far) and i liked judd nelson as the lead (still a bad - ass). a -

a decade ago there were few open directing assignments for indie - oriented directors. thats changed in the past few years as many of todays independent directors dont always write their own material. of course, these directors also look for projects already set up with financing, but here westfeldt and zions track record at making a commercially successful film and raising private capital should speak for the projects viability .
george lucas is a writer, producer and director known for his creation of the enormously successful' star wars' and' indiana jones' film franchises .
i am getting mentally exhausted from watching so many generic movies .
making the grade
looks as if it was churned out of the same factory as a hundred other' 80s movies. a spoiled high school kid doesn' t want to spend his senior year going to a private school. he hires a trouble maker (judd nelson) to pretend to be him and attend the school in his place. end of story. there is no chemistry whatsoever between nelson and his female costar (jonna lee). what about comedy? i literally laughed one time during the 100 minutes of this film. it is dull and predictable. you would be infinitely better off watching judd nelson for the millionth time in
the breakfast club
rather than watch this piece of drivel. 1 / 10

so simple. i had to write a 300 word synopsis for a silent film – not an easy task – this helped me understand exactly what needed to be said, which i found difficult given that my film has no character names or any written / spoken language .
i practiced query letters and blurbs in a fiction class, but the synopsis is new, and i’m writing one this week for a contest entry. mine’s for middle grade fiction, and it’s supposed to be on the short side (under 250 words) so i will need to be extra ruthless in my edits :) thanks again !

all the money in the world ,
lee jokes .
were in preproduction now, so its really nuts and bolts. we need a lot of physical production things. were still working on vendor deals. on the creative side we have all the special effects and digital services donated to the project, but theres a lot of hard costs in terms of going from film to digital and then back to film. its locations, its money, its time .
kim said theyll worry about distribution after the film has been made and then look to hire a producers rep and a publicist .
i love this movie man, judd nelson who never really took off after m, aking this film, is great in this as the street smart kid shaking up the establishment in old fashioned college. the coach of the team is also very funny, and some of the lines are greatest that i have ever heard. watching this film takes me back to the 80' s, its what teen comedies were all about, the absolutely awful 80' s fashion, the hairstyles, the synth score that just is washed all over the film, i just love this stuff. if you want to get back to your missed youth, and reminisce about the old days, get this, this essential 80' s viewing that should be on the shelf with the breakfast club and all the rest, man i love this film. if you guys haven' t seen, find it and slot it into your dvd player and, sit back and enjoy .
director george lucas was born on may 14, 1944, in modesto, california. he grew up in the suburbs, which inspired his 1973 film american graffiti. he studied cinematography at the university of southern california and caught the eye of francis ford coppola, who helped him enter the film business. lucas is best known for writing and directing star wars and creating the indiana jones series, as well as founding the industrial light & magic special effects company .

filmmaker s take: says macaulay ,
as caleo observes, casting is key here. broderick is a fantastic start, and at a certain point additional names will create the critical mass allowing a company to feel secure that, at the least, ancillary sales will cover their investment on the film. if the cast is going to be built up, both the producer and, as caleo notes, a good line producer should budget the film to demonstrate that above - the - line costs will still leave money left for a solid production .
i was asked to write a synopsis for a film producer for the script that i am still working on, you can imagine the hassle i’m in, i basically stopped writing the script, and did not write the synopsis either: s this should really help considering the story is there with all the details. this will be very useful! thanks !

jersey and 3 arts are on board as producers, but they are not financing the film ,
caleo says .
in order to get the money, we need to package the project. once thats in place, ill need a good line producer and a strong storyboard artist because its my first feature. i think the other really important thing is finding a marketing person who really understands how to sell this film noir wrapped in a dark comedy .
not too long ago, i began a feature film where the production began by telling me that ,
the main actor, the producer and the director are all taking a cut in their rates, ” – due to it being a more risky kind of script and not a
blockbuster
. therefore, the rest of the crew, including myself, should all do the same .
this is like love at first sight. i call this hitting the bull’s eye. i have a request from a popular hollywood film agent to send a one to seven page synopsis for my allegorical fantasy story. just one click after i googled for synopsis. i got ‘miss right’ waiting for me. i pray i get through the hurdles and get my story into film you are part of my success story .

but then how would you write a watchmen synopsis without making it look like too nonsense or really stupid? there is an infinity of odd main characters and they all serve a great purpose to the plot. if you’re going to name only three people who would stay out? dr. manhattan? the comedian? nite owl? silk spectre? rorschach? ozymandias? the story structure would pretty much fall apart if you pull any of them out .
your personal statement will be read very closely and we will be looking for a range of interests and extra - curricular activity. previous experience of film and tv is not a requirement .
we spent a lot of time working on the script and refining it so that we have what we feel is a very strong, compelling story ,
lee says .
weve got this really strong crew of extremely talented actors on board .
adds kim ,
another strength is the fact that chris is not a first - time director and his first film was shown at the l. a. film festival. he does have a track record .
a rich preppie hires a street wise loner to pose as him at an elite prep school. judd nielson is good in a hand tailored role and the film is better done than most 80' s teen comedies. the score is good. it is overlong, however. rating: 7. 5 out of 10. the end credits announced a sequel, but none has been made to date. also the film is rated pg, according to its box, but should have been r - rated .
lucas served as the producer of a different type of action film in early 2012. working for years, he was able to help bring the story of the famed african - american pilots known as the tuskegee airmen to the big screen in red tails. this world war ii drama starred cuba gooding jr. , terrace howard, nate parker and david oyelowo .
eddie though while trying hard to embrace his “preppy - self” comes across to the others as a snarky cool outsider that really doesn’t fit his “woodrow reputation”. the contrast is fresh and humorous making for a perfect example of 80’s school humor that rises above with nelson’s performance. arriving to school sporting an all red sports jacket sets the tone perfectly for how this lil ditty plays out. the performance here is a pretty good seque into nelson’s later “like” role in the breakfast club that echoes “new york streets” over the more suburb rooted personas of some of his co - stars .
the words ‘one page synopsis’ send shivers down my spine! thanks for making it so much easier to understand. note: make sure that the publisher / agent you’re looking at doesn’t specify single - or double - spaced. i finally boiled my novel down to a page, only to realize i had to half it again! cutting a 46, 000 - word book down to 350 wasn’t easy, but it was possible with this technique .
in your final year, you' ll be able to make a statement about what you want to be in the professional world: film - maker or programme - maker, technician or producer, writer or director and more besides .

this helped me a lot actually! as an aspiring writer, the synopsis and the query are the two things that frighten me the most. i’ve just written the first draft of the synopsis of my manuscript .
in that situation–if it’s really critical to the plot that you mention the flashback in the synopsis–i would mention it when it happens in the story .
in 2008 lucas released the latest installment of his indiana jones series. he served as one of its writers and as a producer while steven spielberg once again acted as director. harrison ford returned as the famed adventuring archaeologist in indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull, and was joined by cate blanchett and shia labeouf on this new challenge. the film proved one of the summer & apos; s biggest hits .
digitally grading and finishing a film is a critical part of filmmaking. unless the cinematographer is shown due respect throughout the entire process, and those who claim to hold
principles” admit that they are deliberately and knowingly taking advantage of cinematographers, then there is a conflict of interest .

look at this year’s bafta and oscar - nominated films. does anyone think that the five top nominations didn' t benefit from the endless skill and dedication of the director of photography? does anyone believe the dps didn' t see their production through to the end? does anyone think that it' s simply a privilege for bob, chivo, ed, john or roger to finish the film to the benefit of all concerned? no, these films shine out because of the work of their cinematographers .
the film did arrive years on dvd, but has only just arrived to blu - ray format (per olive films). the transfer works well on big screen tv providing a “best so far” version of this underrated 80s’ classic. the release itself presents well but does lack subtitles for those who prefer to watch and read .

what if there were shared residual payments, not for the few departments who have won their individual rights to the pot, but for all those who turn a script into a film? what if a percentage of the gross profit found its way back down the chain in some way? it would mitigate the extra, unpaid work and our handing - over of intellectual property. it might help make up for the time spent away from home and family, the unsociable hours and the enforced gagging orders, called “non disclosure agreements” .

the following year, lucasfilm produced the first in its anthology series: rogue one: a star wars story, which starred felicity jones, ben mendelsohn and diego luna. in 2017, lucas & apos; friend and old collaborator, ron howard, was tapped to direct the subsequent film, solo: a star wars story, which premiered in may 2018 .
defending his latest creation, lucas argued that the phantom menace was a children & apos; s movie, as all the star wars movies were meant to be before their cult - like magnetism took hold of the american public. however, a behind - the - scenes featurette that accompanied the film & apos; s release to dvd in 2001 told a different story, revealing a director who wasn & apos; t entirely satisfied with his product .
it & apos; s a little disjointed ,
lucas says at one point, after watching a rough cut of the film .
it & apos; s bold in terms of jerking people around. i may have gone too far in a few places .

i had a brilliant time at york. the training we received in the tv studio was fantastic. we learnt how all of the different roles in multicamera production work together all while using industry - standard kit. i discovered how much i loved vision mixing and went on to study at the national film and television school. i' m now working as a vision mixer for bbc studioworks, primarily on eastenders .

red tails may prove to be one of lucas & apos; s final epics, excluding a possible new indiana jones film. he announced that he was retiring from big blockbusters to explore smaller, more personal stories on the screen around this time. to that end, lucas decided to sell his company, lucasfilm, to the walt disney company in october 2012. he received about 40 million shares of disney stock as part of the deal. in return, disney got the rights to the very lucrative star wars franchise, which the company continued with the release of the record - breaking star wars: the force awakens in december 2015 .
you have to take this movie for what it is and when it was released. the characters are likable and the dialogue doesn' t try too hard to be funny; it just is. granted, some of the appeal may be nostalgic at this point; it' s hard to imagine how this looks to a first - time viewer today. ok, some parts are bound to be ridiculous; there is a break - dancing scene and accompanying music that are hopelessly dated... then again break - dancing does appear to be making a comeback. i' m not a huge andrew dice clay fan, but this movie is where the
diceman
character originated. the actor who plays palmer woodrow wrote the movie the burbs, as it turns out .
to escape the desert planet, ben and luke hire a low - life pilot and the pilot’s hairy, alien friend. luke, ben, luke’s robots, the pilot, and the hairy friend leave the planet and fly to the death star, darth vader’s home and the empire’s main base. once on board the death star, luke discovers the princess is being held as a hostage. he and the group set out to find the princess, while ben sets out to find a way for them to escape the base .
the mc is lower than low, and he / she must fight through the blackness of his / her emotions to find the strength for the final battle. what happens here ?
i have exactly the same problem, can’t wait to get tips on this. the modern query structure seems to skew the market towards the more linear stories, it seems to me .
once on board the death star, luke discovers the princess is being held as a hostage. he and the group set out to find the princess, while ben sets out to find a way for them to escape the base .
so what is it that makes the above - the - line production team think they can create a caste system in filmmaking. to my mind it lies in the very divisiveness of the above - the - line / below - the - line dogma imposed on our industry. by keeping cinematographers as struggling artists, the executives can play the privilege of creativity card. we should be so lucky. the result is that the corporations get their cake and fill their faces .

recognise and develop a capacity to intervene effectively into a range of issues relating to film and television culture through a developed and critical understanding of moving image forms and aesthetics and of how films and television programmes tell stories, create meaning and relate to social and cultural conditions .
i guess that, by now, anyone reading this article is smart enough to know just where this is going. and it is going to end badly. well it did, in a way, but only for some. the film turned out to be successful, very successful. i fought my case, argued the obvious, that below - the - line crew are not the same as above - the - line, and i managed, at least, not to take a cut in what i had been paid previously .
after rescuing the princess, luke and the group try to escape. ben sacrifices himself so they can flee, and darth vader kills ben. the group flees the death star on their own ship .

lucas continued the story of the jedi knights and the dark side in the empire strikes back (1980) and the return of the jedi (1983). in the meantime, he set up a state - of - the - art special effects company, industrial light & magic (ilm), as well as a sound studio, skywalker sound, and began to execute more and more control over the finished product of his films. he eventually built his own moviemaking

projects already in preproduction in this presumably lower - budget range usually have a hard time attracting financing from distributors. the distributors would rather see the film made for more money and in a way that would allow them to exert more control over the production. so its smart that the filmmakers are concentrating instead on raising private equity and goods and services. there are private equity players and new production companies out there who might be impressed with lees festival record and want to participate .
after rescuing the princess, luke and the group try to escape. ben sacrifices himself so they can flee, and darth vader kills ben. the group flees the death star on their own ship. luke is devastated over ben’s death, and he is more determined to fight darth vader and help the rebels defeat the empire. luke joins the rebel army, and helps them plan an attack on the death star’s only weakness .
in the few scenes he' s in, it' s the diceman who adds the only flavor to this amateurish attempt at a teenage sex comedy. lifeless screenplay and dull cast drive this right into the ground .

what happens when a wealthy preppy hires a street kid from brooklyn to attend prep school for him? well, not much of a movie, that' s for sure. stupidity abounds in this golan - globus funfest. a week after seeing this film, i cannot remember a single detail. and that is perhaps the highest praise i can give this piece of schlock .
luke is devastated over ben’s death, and he is more determined to fight darth vader and help the rebels defeat the empire. luke joins the rebel army, and helps them plan an attack on the death star’s only weakness .
i would say that the black moment is not just about ben dying, but mainly about the falcon being tracked back to yavin 4. if they don’t stop them, the empire will end the rebellion in one swift stroke .
now that lucas had won back the confidence of his supporters, he set out to make a children & apos; s saturday morning serial that would be part fairy tale, part flash gordon and complete fantasy and adventure set in the imaginary frontier of outer space. the project eventually evolved into a full - length feature entitled star wars. released in may 1977, star wars blew audiences away with its awe - inspiring special effects, fantastical landscapes, captivating characters (the erroneous pairing of two bumbling droids providing, ironically, the most heart and comic relief) and the familiar resonance of popular myth and fairy tale. made for $ 11 million, the film grossed over $ 513 million worldwide during its original release .
sooz – i have been searching for 3 days for the best synopsis ‘how - to’. you win! thanks for taking the time…the ‘star wars’ analogy is a perfect guideline .
one thing writers hate doing but will inevitably have to do (one day or another, at least) is the dreaded synopsis. an agent may request it in his / her submission materials, or an editor might want it once your agent has you out on subs. my film agent needed it for shopping around something strange & deadly, and i would imagine other rights - agents would want a short, simple synopsis for the same reason .
i am a huge 80' s buff. i love the classic comedies that have come from that era. this is by far and away the best of the bunch. it is quite possibly the best comedy ever. it plays on the stereotypes of preppies and intercity kids. it is great. palmer woodrow, played wonderfully by dana olsen, is a scene stealer. this is also one of judd nelson' s first films. it is andrew dice clay' s first film apperance. it is a classic piece of americana. buy it, rent it, steal it if you have to. it is that good .
i do have a question though – i have just completed the first book in a trilogy. the ending is of course, in the third book – how do i then do the synopsis? do i need to mention it’s a trilogy? do i only mention what happens in the first book ?
it does! and i appreciate the haste of your reply! i think my question could be rearranged as so: if you feel the narrative is best served in a non - linear way, do you show that via your synopsis? for example, the main conflict is presented the most, but then the story cuts back further and further to reveal the events that led to the main conflict. would you write this in your synopsis to reflect how you want to tell the story ?
though luke is still sad over the loss of ben and his family, he has found a place among the rebels, and with them, he will continue to fight the empire .
the girl school mixer band' s rendition of my sharona in no way corresponds to the band' s physical movements. there is not even anyone singing when the vocals are being heard .
now in a new life, the mc meets new people, experiences a new life, and meets the antagonist / villain .
