Outside the Academic Center, there are many tables and chairs. Each chair is same style and color. They are arranged in different positions and each one has its own rhythm.
The cool thing about this is that each chair and table has a meaning and a purpose....
They are each for someone to sit down.

A past dream to make it a Film
The main character is standing in a big plaza looking for someone specific: a friend.
In the same plaza but at another time of the day there is that second friend buying a bracelet.
After buying the bracelet this second friend starts walking towards a garden.
Meanwhile we go back to the first person she is still standing in the plaza waiting for her friend.She starts walking and passes the bracelets stand and keeps walking towards the garden.
There is a montage of both persons walking but none of them are walking together yet. The montage keeps speeding up and at a point both persons are walking holding hands one next to the other.
The second friend gives the bracelet as a present to the first one. The first person smiles and puts it on but it is now back in the plaza by herself.
She smiles and keeps the bracelet on, remembering the day that she and her friend had a nice walk in the garden, laughing and enjoying the beautiful nature and landscape that God created.

Gore Verbinski's Tone of Voice
The director I chose is: Gore Verbinski. He is the director of many movies including Pirates of the Caribbean I, II, III and the Lone Ranger.
I chose this director because he has done many movies not only live action, but also animation and a combination on both. The way he approaches the cinematography and story is very successful and I think he is able to put his own style to each movie even if it is not the same writer or genre.
Pirates of the Caribbean I and II has the same cast, characters and the plot extends through all the movies. Lone Ranger is a complete different story and different cast.
In Pirates of the Caribbean the voice of the director is comical, fast passed and has a lot of pirate tone voice in it.
While watching the Pirates of the Caribbean you feel you are in that world, the way the characters speak, move and interact they make you feel you are in their era. Personally I feel that the way this movie is portrayed, its brilliant because you don't feel the Pirate's voice is forced into you but it flows and it is believable. Since it is a movie for teenagers and Kids, the director also adds a funny voice to it. Jack Sparrow is the main character of the movie and he is able to communicate the story in both of the movies, with the funny/mysterious pirate tone.
This two movies are very successful.
The Long Ranger is an interesting movie to analyze, since it is the same director and same main actor. Looking at this pieces, we assume it will be as successful as the two previous movies I talked about: Pirates of the Caribbean I and II; but in my opinion it was not successful.
What I feel it happened is that the director tried to approach this story in the same comical way than he did in the Pirates movie but it wasn't quite good. I think the reason is that the main character in this one was an indian it wasn't a pirate. The indian has another voice than the Pirate.
The Long Ranger's voice is all over the place it tries to be funny but I think it should have more cowboys + Indian voice and bring out that rivalry like the old west movies.

Star Wars Screen Play: Han's Perspective
The script I read was Star Wars Screen Play. The way I want to address this post is to analyze how an actor would adapt their characters in the film based on what they read from the screenplay.
I think that Han Solo is very well represented with actor, Harrison Ford. I think as an actor you have to fully understand the character and take his background and life and try to feel like if you are that person. You need to believe what you are acting, that way the audience will believe it too.
In this particular scene, Han's character has different personalities depending to whom he is talking to. It says in #10, "Into the radio, big brother style" "Now wait a min, Luke" We see that with this Han has to act like an older brother would do. He cares about Luke but he also wants to make sure, Luke understands who is in charge in the relationship wether Luke will obey or not.
Then Han Solo, talks to Leia. By his expression we can see that he is now in the opposite side of the card. He is now more submissive to what Leia has to say. When he was going to meet her, his attitude was "I am the best", and we see it as it is described: "She walks quickly to Han, whose mouth is open on an angry retort. He shuts it as she smiles at him."
As an actor Harrison Ford he needs to understand that his character is a man of mystery and he will act different depending to whom he is talking to. He is a man of honor and he is brave and he will do anything he can for the ones he love, even though he sometimes tries to hide it. I think Han character is very well written and there is nothing I would do to alter his characteristics, except the fact that at the end he could maybe learn some Jedi techniques and fight and save Luke with a lightsaber.

Virtual Reality
What is real and what is not real?
Virtual reality is a term that has been hoping out in Hollywood, films and entertainment. It is a computer-generated simulation of a three dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special equipment: such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors.
It is an interesting concept, trying to bring the humans to a three the world. I think it gives a new experience to gamers and movie audiences. The cool thing about this experience is that it takes the audience into a complete new world.
I tried it one time when Bio Lucid came to the school with some glasses so we can see inside a cell. It was amazing because once we had the gloves on, if we walked and turned our head, then we could see a 360 degree view of the human cell. It was a little bit confusing, because our world does not look like a computer generated one and it can make us dizzy.
Like any other thing, virtual reality is something that we need to be careful. Virtual Reality is something to play with, or to see but it is important to always live in the real world and to be thankful with the world we live in and have.
