Quotes to inspire us with ideas

Keeping in mind that we wanted to make our film something personal and something with moral i decided to look up quotes, as did the rest of my group.
I personally think Muhammad Ali, a famous figure in society is quite an inspirational character, many quotes of his I found interesting and so I made note of them.
I will then present my finding to my quote and select my favourite quote and from then on sketch out ideas and inspirations i get from the quotes in order to come up with a unique, interesting treatment.


Muhammad Ali

•Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.
•We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.
•I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''
•Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
•Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
•He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
•I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
•I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Journal Entry One

The first meeting with my group was interesting and i was delighted to have them as my group as i feel i can share openly any ideas and opinions and that they will give me honest feedback. i feel that my group members communicated very well with each other and myself. my group is me, Rebecca, Edward and Norianne, and i am happy that i am working with them as they are open to new ideas from everyone and share there own too.

In our first meeting we came up with;

Ideas -

• Graphic matching
• rise & fall (crime genre)
• love
• falling ill (disability, becomming mentally or physically disadvantaged)
• filiming in the rain (fall of rain symbolising them of the fall)
• contrast of unreal and reality, imagination vs reality, (camera style - showing half of both worlds in one shot)
• single parents
• current affairs
• our city/lifestyle/society

however, we all felt that our ideas were too basic and that as a group we wanted to do our own extra research and look into anything that may inspire us and trigger new ideas

we decided to look at songs and lyrics related to 'the fall'

we also were very much interested in the idea of looking up quotes and sayings that could inspire us with a moral, a storyline or something to offer an inspiration for us.

Character Assessment - My sister's keeper

This character assessment assesses important characters in the film through an interview i conducted, this helps us see the world of the character, thoughts, motives, attitude and behaviour. With this assessment i hope to apply this to my own characters and imagine the thoughts of my character and create the character in that way.



'Anna Fitzgerald looks to earn medical emancipation from her parents who until now have relied on their youngest child to help their leukemia-stricken daughter Kate remain alive.'

Anna fitzgerald, What was your situation?
once my sister kate got cancer, she gradually got worse and worse. she would eventually die without someone to give her genetically matching donar's. i was born for this reason to become a donar for my sister to keep her alive. I Refuse to be a living donar however, and the problems begin. what they do not know is that i would do anything for my sister to live but what kate knows is that she cannot overcome this cancer and she asks me to do one thing, to let her die this way.




how bad is this affecting your mother?
she struggles so much, she's tried everything. she wont let go of her children and kate is her number one prioroty. she's given her life to look after her and do everything she can. her marriage begins to deteriorate and so does the relations betwewen me and her, the family goes through so many falls together. its hard, family is everything to her.

Character Assessment - Seven Pounds

Interview with 'Tim' (Will Smith)

why are you giving donars to people and helping them?
I had the perfect life, i was in love with the woman i wanted to spend my whole life with. it was me that killed her. too wraped up in my own world that i killed 7 other worlds, i killed 7 lives in a car crash, i did not mean to, i should have concentrated on the road and not my phone. but this has changed everything. now all that matters is not my life, not myself, but all that i want to do is change 7 lives.



What are your feelings towards Emily?
Emily is a beautiful lady she is caring and compassionate. when i met her again and again i felt more then just wanting to change another life. i felt feelings for her, she was the one i wanted to give my heart too, she deserved it, she was the one i wanted to give my life too. she reminded me of my wife, i would have done anything to save her life.
