How to Hook Your Audience in Those Crucial First Seconds
 

 Article:
  There are many ways to hook your audience enough for those crucial first seconds at the beginning of a film. One of the ways is getting to know your target audience you want to get into the minds of that you want to know what you're thinking what kind of image that they have of what you want done to see. The article says that you typically want your "hero" to be someone that has common interests and views as your audience does. The other big thing to do is to give your audience something new inspire the viewer you want to give them something that they haven't seen before give them something they can really go on and make someone staying and not  walk out of the movie theater. Another way to keep your viewers attention to the film is to build suspense and run their curiosity high. Never want your audience to be able to predict what happens next in. If they can what's the point.
Opinions:
  I think the ideas of being creative and making sure that your audience really doesn't know what's going to happen and gave them a little surprises a great way to spice up the film.
   I think that there's many films out there that don't really buy these guidelines and that's where they lose their views.
Question:
    I wonder what will be the next big film the next big saga to hit the blockbusters?

          Toward a Kingdom Without Kitsch


 Article:
 The Lego movie has become a big head on the block buster releases of 2014. You would think the simplicity through making a Lego movie would just be simple but by Mr. McKay tells us within the article that the ocean water within the movie came with a great challenge "we found that there were certain kinds of bricks that looked better as water" he said like pulling small squares and circles of on top to create a splash effect. Oh I haven't watch the movie yet so I'm not too sure if this is CGI's or stop motion. Whatever they have done they have really pulled it off successfully throughout the number of good reviews from many critics.
Opinions:
   Personally I never got into Legos I really never have them and I was a child but this movie does look fascinating.
    I do like how they incorporated many hit movie stars and famous actors within this movie
Question:
 I wonder if they get so me much good reviews the first movie they'll make a sequel?

Sony Pictures Imageworks’ Pete Travers talks “wonderfood” VFX in Cloudy 2
 
Article:
  Many of seeing the motion picture by Sony "cloudy with a chance of meatballs". Personally I've never got around to see. By seen many trailers for it and reading this article I now see the beautiful artwork and visual Sfx that Pete Travers one of the special-effects supervisors who helped bring life to those important creatures that make the movie what it is. Pete goes on to say within the article that a lot of the work centered around resurrecting as much data as they could come up with from the first film and altering it as little as possible to make the second film. "And also that creating the design for the food animals was seemingly simplistic looking but the mechanics underneath were often times more complex"  he goes on to say within the article.
Opinions:
 Personally I like the first movie and I really think that the second movie is one of few sequels that really outdo themselves.
   In my opinion sequels really don't do it for me but this one looks like they did a great job could be even better than the first.
Question:
 I wonder if this is Sony's big chance to really stick it to Disney and Warner Bros. pictures?
Think Filmmaking Is Just for Extroverts? Here’s 5 Things Introverts Bring To Movies
 

Article:
  In this day and age anyone can really make a film and just a simple list of ideas created with enough imagination and heart can become the greatest thing in the world. Within the article it it shows five challenges introverts it brings to moviemaking. One of these challenges is a lack of creativity. Very hard for filmmakers stand out of the crowd and write a real original film that will capture audiences attention. For example JK rolling a self confessed introverts. She claims within the article that her Harry potter eureka moment came on the train alone. And really for a lot of people like JK rolling this could happen in a dream where they wake up and they can't stop thinking about this movie or this idea. Another challenge is lack of stamina. It takes a lot of stamina and a lot of energy to make create think of a film and then to go and pursue it takes not even 100% but 1000% complete dedication to your dream.

Opinions:
   I know for one fact that I had a dream about a movie and it was so clear my head I could write it down and be finished but I didn't have the energy and the dedication to really pursue it.
     I would've loved to become a great film rider and later a great film creator but just don't have that drive anymore.
Question:
 I wonder JK rolling will come out with another hit like a potter?
