Movie Mistakes

Movies have lots of mistakes. I never realized how many there are and I think it's sad that people would not have lives to the point where they watch movies that closely and write about them!

Sexting

This stuff happens all the time. It is weird to have such a harsh punishment for teens because once you are 18 you can take and send pictures of whatever you want. I feel bad for the girl but she was really dumb for sending a picture to someone she had barely been dating.

Camera Angle Video

I like how they conducted the interviews with the equipment moving cars and stuff in the backround! I thought that this was very cool and really made the video look alot simpler than it was to make. I don't really see how they could force somebody to do exercise as part of work especially then the people at that work place are not overweight.

Broadcast Journalism Story #1

Matthew Wangler

Broadcast Journalism Story

Topic: Eastview Varsity Basketball Playoff Run!

Angle: Fans shout opinions!

B-Roll  MATT’S VOICEOVER, VIEW OF BASKETBALL COURT AND PLAYERS PRACTICING CLAIRE GRIMM MATT’S STANDUP JOE S MATT’S STANDUP #2 DEREK S CUT BACK TO PRACTICE AGAIN, MATT’S VOICE

A-Roll Well another basketball season means another shot at state for our boys in blue and black. The Eastview lightning blew away the Wolfpack last night 80-19 and the hopes for the playoffs are high. “Wait… are they in the playoffs? Right now? Umm I think they’ll go to state… we’re supposed to go to state right? Yeah they’ll go to state! But I don’t know how far hasn’t Hopkins won state the past like four years?” –Claire Grimm (Game Attendee) There are many obstacles in the way of becoming state champions but as you can see our fans are pretty convinced that we have what it takes. “We’re going to go all the way, I have faith that they’ll step up their game and win the whole thing. I will be there cheering my heart out. Yeah we got it we’re winning state.”  -Joe S (Sophomore Player) But why do they think this way? Does every fan have their heads in the clouds, or does Eastview actually have a chance at state? “I think we could go to state, I mean we got all the keys we just got to learn how to use them. Well we have good players at every position, good depth and pretty good year so far. Yeah that’s it.” –Derek S (Fan) That’s it is right; Good luck boys!

Man + Goose

I think it's weird... I mean it's cute and all if they were friends but the news anchor desribe them as lovers, or in love. That is just messed up! A man and a goose cannot be in love, just friends.

Susan Trial

1. This crazy lady murdered her children.
2. She pretended like a crazy "black man" stole her car with her boys inside.
3. She had tearful pleas on TV for the man to return her children and urged people to look out for the vehicle.
4. She claimed she had mental issues that impared her judgement, so basically she pleaded insanity.
5. She was sentenced to death.

The Kids Movie Rango could get R Rating

The movie Rango intended for kids might get an R rating because characters smoke cigerettes and cigars in the movie. I think the people rating this are idiots and crybabys. I understand a character in a movie smoking that a little child may idleize may also lead to him/her idleizing cigerettes as well but this is where parents need to step in. R rated movies mean 17+ and I really can't think of any 17 year olds I know of that would enjoy Rango.. These raters need to put the moviemakers pay and the success of this movie in mind as well...

ACTIVE/PASSIVE QUIZ

I got 8/10. It seems like direct verbs are active and other linking verbs are passive!

Worst Uniform ever in history of the NFL

The worst uniform in the history of the NFL award goes to the old lime green philly eagles jerseys. They looked awful!
