Concept 70

1. If the story was told in a first-party viewpoint, i think it would be weird. Maybe there would be more detail because the story would be told from the person who actually experienced the whole thing. For the wolf, maybe he would make the story seem like he isn't the bad guy. The grandmother's point of view wouldn't really be that interesting because she's in bed the whole time.

Concept 69

1. If i was writing a film with dialects, the resources i would use to ensure that my wording and slang expressions are accurate would be the internet! You can find anything about slang on the internet.

African American Genre

The African American genre has changed a lot over time. African American's can be portrayed as many people, but one thing i've noticed is in films, they tend to be the bad guy, the drug addict, or the gang member. This was a lot in the old times. Now African Americans are getting a more variety of roles, such as the hero in the film, in the main role, or the good guy.  African American roles vary. Back in the day, they were very limited, but now there's a lot of variety. African American's can be anything in their roles today.

Film Festival reflection

I watched the film "No Look Pass". To be honest, at first i thought it was going to be really boring, but it turned out to be really interesting. I loved the parts when they showed her playing basketball and when she would shoot, it would go in slow motion. It was really interesting. I loved it.
