Saturday, September 25th, 2010

Then again, subjective paintings are a good deal diverse. Abstract artists use a variety of abstract painting techniques. The particular painting simply by itself will not illustrate authentic objects. The actual sizes and shapes along with colorings revealed throughout abstract art will be non-objective as well as non-representing. The painting could possibly pertain to a real man or woman or maybe to just about any additional individual, all sorts of things, or simply quite possibly nothing.

Assuming you are not able to fully understand the particular interpretation regarding any particular piece of art, you actually are able to talk to some experts or even the actual artist about you are looking at significance. Normal fine art buffs on the other hand, don’t need information simply because if they love subjective paintings, these people will fully understand clearly the relevance regarding the actual piece of art.

Essence Of Character – Seven Steps To Creating Characters That Write Themselves

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Creating the perfect movie script?

Creating movie characters that are believable takes time and discipline. Creating dynamically real individuals and not imposing your own thoughts and impressions upon them is not easy to do, and is often the difference between a novel or screenplay that sits in a closet and one that finds its way around town and into the hands of audiences. Spending your time building your characters before they enter the world of your story makes the process of writing an easier and more enjoyable ride, and creates a finished product that agents, publishers, producers and readers can truly be excited by.

You must first agree to operate from the understanding that the three-dimensionality of your characters is not created magically. Talent equals discipline multiplied by time and you must practice (daily) the art of developing your characters. As a development executive with LA Film Lab Entertainment (a literary development and production company), I have developed a framework to assist you in creating rich and complex characters. The complexity that you desire comes through 1) labeling their desire essences, 2) labeling their fear essences, 3) getting specific about their past, 4) labeling their behavior, 5) raising their stakes, 6) not meddling in their lives, and 7) letting them play. Asking provoking questions in line with these steps, answering them thoroughly, and then repeating the process, provides constant individual growth in your characters that mirrors life. Now let’s take each step in turn:

1. Label the Desire Essences of each of your main characters: The first key to deepening your work is finding the major motivators in the lives of your characters that drive their actions. We all have deep aspirations that drive our choices, our thoughts, our actions and reactions. These needs are what differentiate us from one another and we will refer to them as “Desire Essences.” Some examples of DESIRE ESSENCES are: the desire to be intellectually brilliant; the desire to be socially famous; the desire to hide from the world; the desire to belong to a group; the desire to be loved; the desire to party; the desire to die.

2. Label the Fear Essences of each of your main characters: What is at the root of each of your characters’ darker sides? For every desire they have they should also exhibit the antithetical fear of failing at that desire. These fears will battle their aspirations for control over their behavior. Labeling and understanding the darker sides of your characters is imperative to creating the dimensional and imperfect characters you are after. Some examples of FEAR ESSENCES are: the fear of being stupid; the fear of being ordinary; the fear of being socially exposed; the fear of being rejected by a group; the fear of being loathed; the fear of being boring; the fear of having to face life.

3. Get specific with your Backstory: Human behavior is made up of a string of moments and reactions to those moments. A character’s current behavior is a battle between fear and desire and their immediate choices are made based on very specific (yet unconscious) experiences from their past – experiences that leave imprints much like DNA. Though your characters should be unconscious of these past experiences that are influencing them, you the writer must create these in your preparation of their backstory be fully aware of them. Here is an example of what won’t benefit you vs. what will when getting specific with backstory:

Bad example of getting specific: Rachel is a pretty girl who thinks she is unattractive. She prefers to live in her books as opposed to being with friends or family. Her father has abused her sexually throughout her youth. She hates attention.

Better example of getting specific: On her graduation day, at a party her Mother is throwing for her, Rachel’s sexually abusive father shows up drunk and congratulates her, hugging her too closely, grabbing her rear end with both hands, and calling her pretty in front of a room full of her friends and family. She runs away humiliated and hides in her room, escaping into one of her fantasy books. That night she moves out to stay with a friend and doesn’t tell her friends where she is going. Two weeks later she finds out through another friend that her father died in a car accident. He had been drunk.

In the better example of getting specific, the reader can have a visceral reaction to the words. This is caused by the detail. The generality of the bad reaction is logical, but lifeless. In the better example it is easy to determine what the essences of our leading lady might be: desire to hide, maybe even desire to die, desire to live in her books, desire to be valued for her intellect instead of her body, fear of loneliness, fear of her appearance, fear of the opposite sex, fear of losing a loved one, fear of being abandoned.

4. Describe their Current Behavior: Take the essences and the specific examples you have now created and determine what kind of behavior your characters might exhibit as a result. Don’t limit yourself with these, but rather excite yourself with the possibilities.

Simple examples from our leading lady – a woman who: hides her body; avoids friends from her past; mistrusts anyone who comments favorably on her appearance; desires to control her education and her intellect; avoids alcohol.

5. Raise the stakes: Emotions are extreme. Play in the realm of this extreme when dealing with the fears and ambitions of your characters. These essences are all encompassing; meaning that we spend our lifetimes with them. Don’t cheat your characters by being afraid to raise the stakes as high as you can. Needing to find a precious stone to sell to an art dealer by midnight to raise the financing to save your character’s mother’s house before the bank takes it away from her tomorrow is exciting! Look back at your own life and think of how seriously you take your essences – when your essences are threatened will you fight to extremes to defend them, just as when they are fulfilled, do you enjoy some of your greatest moments in life? Play in the realm of the extreme. Raise the stakes. Your essences are life and death to you – let them be that way to your characters.

6. Don’t meddle: Of course you might be saying to yourself, “How do I not meddle – I’m the writer!” But a truthful story is going to grow from your willingness to let your characters make their own decisions based on how you have defined them (which after these exercises will be in great depth). As their parent, you have to let your children go; this is the point at which your story truly begins. DO NOT MEDDLE IN THEIR LIVES. Continually remind yourself – it’s not about you. You just serve the story. Let your characters make their own decisions. If you ever find yourself not knowing what decision they might make – question your homework and rework their essences, behaviors and stakes until their choice becomes obvious.

7. Let your characters play: Once you have developed several characters by labeling their essences, getting specific, defining their behavior, and raising the stakes, you are ready to begin to let them interact. It’s like the first day at a new school; ripe with possibility. When properly developed, there is no way to predict how your characters will behave in any given situation, but they are so full of life and their own agendas that they are ready to interact with other characters who have been developed to the same level. If you have done the work to get to this place – this is where your characters will begin to write themselves.

Follow these steps to create the richer characters you want to be writing.

Find the Essences:

To find the essences of your characters, you have to look to their history and their genetics. Just like real people, your characters’ current behavior is defined by their DNA combined with experiences you create in their past. We all have the basic fears and ambitions of survival, shelter, and food, so when working on these essences focus on the ones that really drive each character. Consider ethnicity, religious beliefs, and major life events. Address sex, drugs, music, parents, siblings, education, appearance and intelligence for sure.

Start by writing out twenty DESIRE ESSENCES that feel right for each main character. Then determine one polar opposite of each DESIRE to create your twenty FEAR ESSENCES. Go back and toss the ones that you now feel less attached to. Repeat and refine the process until you have at least ten of each for each character that really excite you.

Get specific about Backstory:

Get specific about how your character’s essences have come to be. Create definitive moments in your characters’ lives that detail when these fears and desires were initiated. Come up with five supporting examples of moments in their lives when each of these essences was tested and eventually vindicated in the name of the fear or in the name of the desire. Failure vindicates the fear and success vindicates the desire. Write at least one half page of text supporting each -Yes that will give you a total of twenty-five pages of essence work. Do the work.

10 Essences (a desire and a fear for each) x 5 samples for each = 50 descriptions (each a half page)

Label the Current Behavior:

Using their essences and their specific past, come up with ten sample behaviors for each character. Simple example: a character who has a desire to hide and a fear of being publicly humiliated, has a specific past incident of continually having their pants pulled down in public by a sibling. The current behavior – they might always wear a belt, or might always look behind themselves in a very specific attempt to never be humiliated again.

Raise the stakes:

After looking over your newly created examples, it should be easy to determine some issues that might be going on in their lives that would increase or decrease their stress. A decrease in stress generally excites people to take greater chances, while an increase in stress tends to shorten people’s fuses.

List five possible increases or decreases in your characters stress level.

Don’t meddle and let them play:

Now put two of your fully developed characters into the same room. Implement two or three increases in stress to one character and two or three decreases in stress to the other character and let them bounce off of one another. Go into this exercise with no preconceived notions of what might happen. If you have done your homework, they should affect one another.*

*If you need a jumpstart – add an element that one needs from the other and give the other a strong reason for not wanting to provide what that character needs. Could be tangible or emotional.

Piano Music Classes Are Nonetheless Working Out for Me

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Here’s a nice article from a novice musician friend of mine. He is speaking about how he was introduced (compelled) into music by his parents when he was 8 years old. I personally suppose it’s fairly dangerous to oblige youngsters to do one thing they do not also have a clue about. I think it’s higher to wait for them to ask for it, after which help them out to not give up instantly as quickly as the primary difficulty reveals up. However for some kid it may be really good, in any other case they wouldn’t start something besides playing around.

When I was a baby, my dad and mom enrolled me in piano music classes with a neighborhood teacher. At first, I assumed it was essentially the most boring a part of my week, however as time went by, I began to actually take pleasure in them and nonetheless profit from them in certain ways to this very day.

I was really young after I began out these piano classes, and at first it was complicated me a lot. I didn’t know what to consider it. There were so many keys and the notes were exhausting for me to figure out. My fingers have been quick and stubby and I had issue reaching the keys. I told my parents nearly immediately that I wanted to give up, however they made me keep it up, and I’m glad they did.

I rapidly started to pick it up, and before long was playing fairly well. It was not long earlier than I used to be launched to a different nice passion of mine, which is classical music, after which I became extremely grateful that I had taken piano music lessons. Not solely might I hearken to this lovely type of music, but I may actually play some of it earlier than too long.

Apart from learning how you can play a musical device, taking piano music classes served me in additional traditions. It educated me a sense of commitment and loyalty that has carried on all through my existence. I never give up one thing when it will get too exhausting, until I’m sure that whatever I’m doing goes nowhere.

Piano music lessons also instilled a discipline in me that has allowable me to work by myself for most of my life, because I can construct a schedule for myself and comply with it to the letter. I haven’t got trouble with sticking to a each day work regimen, and I really believe that these character personality had been formerly developed after I was taking those schooling.

One of many different large benefits is solely selfish. Every time I am at a celebration or social gathering and a piano is present, I love to make my way over and tickle the ivory, so to speak. Considering the appears to be like on folks’s faces as I play Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” or another classical piece, is incalculable!

My wife gets a big kick out of it as effectively, as she is musically disposed, and he or she loves to sing along as I play the piano. Ours was undoubtedly a match made in heaven.

Piano music lessons have aided me all through my entire being and in many different ways. I am thankful to my mother and father for having me take them, and I’ve had my child and daughter take them as well. I simply anticipate they profit as a lot from them as I have.

Lady Gaga said she will create fashion, technology and photography products. Fashion Police captured her stunning moment at the red carpet dawn in an “iridescen Armani Prive swirling confection, accessorized with sparkling heelless platforms and a giant star.” Absolutely beautiful and elegant for the glamorous Grammy Awards.

Lady Gaga appeared on the red carpet “sporting a white tiered Francesco Scognamiglio dress with a white pompadour wig that would make even Amy Winehouse’s beehive appear tame.”

March 2010, venue BBC Friday Night with Jonathon Ross. Punchline this round is a hair raising “hair phone”. A successful marketing tactics I would say to promote her single “Telephone”. Definitely another top charter of fashion forums.

Apr 2010, Fashion Yearbook. Vote results for the best and worst costume worn by her. Best ones include “Pretty in Hot Pink”, a bubblegum pink, structured cocktail dress for the 2007 Brit Awards. “Futuristic Disco Queen” glitzy disco dress that she wore at the 2009 Glastonbury Music Festival. “Banana Jacket” that sports a button collar, sunny hue color-blocked with black stripes fabric, fingerless leather gloves, and over-sized, open sleeves. “Lilac Rabbit” sporting a lilac blond bob under a black veil with 2 black lace bunny ears by Maison Michel on the cover of Spanish magazine Neo 2. “Dripping in Pearls” all-white pearl outfit, including her body and face.

July 2010, performed for the Costume Institute ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of her Monster Ball tour. She looked like “a cross between Catwoman and Gene Simmons” as put by Washington Post. Needless to say, this invited an avalanche of critics who dethroned her from being a fashion “icon”.

August 2010, Staples Center. Lady G wore plastic bubbles on her bod, red lace over her face, 10-inch Alexander McQueen “armadilio” shoes on her feet and an Armani “Space Age” dress constructed of glittery rings that seemed to orbit around her. Turning the singing artist into a human disco ball.

How Many More Movies For Blond Bond

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Daniel Craig is a decent actor I would say. Craig has had roles in Munich and The Jacket. He accepted the role of Bond last October, and filming for the movie began last month in Prague. Last week the producers of the film cast French actress Eva Green as Bond girl Vesper Lynd and Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen as the villain le Chiffre.

He has done a descent job especially after a controversial start. EON Productions angered fans around the world when they fired Pierce Brosnan at the height of his popularity as Bond. To add insult to injury, EON cast a short, blond, odd-looking Daniel Craig in the role of Bond. You could see the excessive facial sweating on the executives faces prior to the premier but today they are a bit more comfortable.
