When you finish i-lab for this week, here is a little internet field trip that you may go on. The inventor is Ron Popeil and he peddles a wide variety of products on his infomercials. Check out his products on this link:

Check out his infomercials on YouTube.

Opening Scenes
Write the opening scene of a film, one that you would like to write, not a movie already made.
It can be any genre or style. Pay attention to the following:
Lighting (light or dark, soft or harsh. What is the light source? Are there shadows? ...etc.)
Sound (traffic? sirens? crickets? breathing?)
Music (What kind of feeling do you want in the music? What kind of instruments?)
Color (If we see green, is it bright emerald, dark pine or like a swamp.)
People (What do they look like? What are they doing?)
Place (Where are we? Is it clean or dirty, city or country, safe or dangerous...etc.)
Time (What do you use to indicate the time? Cars, clothing, newspaper headlines, weapons)
