5. How does special effects make movies more interesting?
Yes, special effects do make movies more interesting because they give some sort of amazingness that make you go “Wow” . Examples are like in Jurassic Park, where they actually used real people for the dinosaurs, because they wanted little CGI and wanted the movie to look alive. You can also take Avatar for an example when it was the fight scene, the special effects made it look very realistic. In Skyfall, James Bond also actually fought a person on a train, no stunt doubles, and only a wire was their protection. Don’t forget too when in The Dark Knight Rises, when the plane fell, the plane actually fell, luckily, it was a prototype. Finally, another example of special effects was in Harry Potter in the fight scenes with Voldemort and Harry Potter, the wand fight scene looked very cool and realistic. So to put it generally, special effects are really, really helpful for movies.

Line of Inquiry 2 : How ideas, emotions and feelings are expressed through movies
1. How do producers transform books into movies?
First we need to find professional screen producers. Well if you don’t have the money you have to do it by yourself and learn it by yourself. If you have the money you are in stage 1. So in that stage you have to try to make your book sell-able to the professional screen producers. You have to try to protest the good sides and positive sides of your book so that the professional screen producers can buy that book and you may reach your dreams. Next the professional screen producers will have to find professional writers. The professionals will have to adapt the book into a screenplay. In this stage you don’t really have to do anything. But the only thing you have to do is to budget our money to hire a professional writer. Actually there are many books that are made into movies, such as Harry Potter, Divergent, Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Twilight, The Hobbit and many more.

2. How are ideas transformed into movies?
According to film-maker, screenwriter and film-producer, Mr. Kevin Douglas Wright, many movie ideas go to waste because there’s not enough information to make the idea into a movie script, which is around 1 or 2 hours. But Mr. Wright found a way to make ideas into movies by taking the idea, adding some missing background information and other missing things, which makes the idea complete. He also says to never let an idea for a movie go to waste and try to create the plot-line complete by combining them with ideas that supports the plot. He says to contact a local screenwriter and discuss your idea with him/her. There, your idea will develop into a half complete script. After you do that you have to get supporting ideas and a vision of the movie. After that, if your script still isn't complete try to contact an organization that can help. Hopefully it shall be completed and your idea has transformed into a wonderful movie and has good reviews.

3.How do actors produce good emotion?
According to Steven Spielberg you always need to rehearse before your scenes come because every time your scene comes you always forget your line. Then to produce good emotion when your scene comes and get a high state excitement, empty out your personal self and leap into it with choice less awareness.
Maggie Flannigan also gives an advice to produce good emotion. First the actor must be open, available, and enjoy affecting the other actors. When an actor begins to be emotional, it is important to end the emotion by releasing physically so the emotion can connect to the movie. You cannot hold on to the emotion or not the emotion will not connect to the movies. Emotion is like water, it flows and changes.

4. How do Animated Movies Produce Emotions?
An example of an animated movie is Frozen. Making emotions are by usually drawing it and see if it’s what you wanted. Making animated female characters are really difficult because you have to go through of the kinds of emotions. You have to keep them pretty and the characters are also sensitive. Having two hero female characters are really difficult because having them in both scenes and they have the same emotions. They would look different from Elsa being angry and Anna being angry. Without emotions, the movie would be flat. Like it would not have any excitements that are made by the different emotions. Another reason is also that the music is wonderful and produces a lot emotion with the lyrics.
Another example is Winnie The Pooh. Winnie The Pooh touches your hearts. It’s simply like that because they find the correct actors and the music is very sad, an example is “Forever and Ever” and “Wherever You Are”. They’re about how Christopher Robin has to leave but Pooh is insisting that Christopher Robin’s news can wait since its sad news and about how Pooh goes on a quest to find Christopher but they almost fail to do so and Pooh gets sad. Both movies produce emotion in the same way, both with the drawing, the voice actors and the songs. The drawing shows the emotions on their faces like sadness or happiness, the voice actors are the ones who make the movie emotional with voice and the song also can produce emotion with its lyrics.Sources:

5. How do producers pick the right actor\actress?
Producers casts. Here's how it usually goes.
So Usually producers send emails to the casting producers. After the email is shown to the cast producers, they send messages to people they have in their contacts. They usually send the date, characters (and about the characters), amount of payment and the adress. When poeple come to the adress, they have to sign a paper that says their name, age, phone number, weight, height, size of clothes and shoes. When people go inside the room where they cast, the cast producers would ask the perosn to say their name, age, what characer the've chosen, weight, height and farwell greetings. and then the casting end at a time.
When the casters find enough people, the director and producers will choose the poeple that they think is good enough for it. Then the cast producers choose and give them an email that they have been chosen.

Line of Inquiry 3 : How movies inspire people
1. Why are movies based on true stories?
I think movies can be also based on true stories because they want a movie to be informative so that people could know what happened in the past or present though a movie. Its pretty creative because they can think of a different type of movie, mostly movies are like cartoon, action, etc. But they want a different type to be different from the others. From all the ratings from the website IMDB the most popular movie that is based on true story is Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013). It is the most popular because it got the rating of 8.5/10. The movie on 2nd place is The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) because it got the rating of 8.4/10. On the 3rd place there is 12 Years a Slave (2013). It got 8.3/10.

2. Why are superhero movies interesting?
Superhero movies are interesting because most of these kinds of movies already have the comics which are already popular so they get excited when the movie comes out. Superhero movies are also popular because they make the superhero invincible and always win against the villain or sometimes ending it in a cliffhanger. The writers also use their imagination to enhance the movie and make it spectacular and even better than the comics, making the comic fans very happy. The special effects that producers and directors add in the movie make the movie even better too because they make it look realistic and attractive, also cool. Superhero movies are also very popular because they show the powers that the superhero has to show the world that there is hope of them saving the day, even if they look that they’re going to die and lose against the villain. These points also inspire people because it makes kids think they can reach their dreams and reach for the stars, also not to give up. If a superhero gives up, then a kid gives up, so this is how writers know to always make the hero win and not lose to not crush the hopes of the kids. Superhero movies give hope to kids and everyone else to always believe that something good will happen even in they’re worst times when something has gone insanely wrong.

3. Why are fairytales everlasting?
Fairytales are everlasting because of the tales it brings and the authors’ creative style of writing, example is Hans Christian Anderson. It’s a good bedtime story to tell to kids too. The authors’ put their creative mind into it and make it seem as if you are there and they make the writing magical and surreal. Fairytales are also everlasting because they teach you a lesson, to get back up when you’re down. Example, who wouldn’t say that they hadn’t learned anything from Goldilocks or Cinderella?
They also teach you a lesson, to wish for the best and keep holding on in Cinderella and to not go to a person’s house and eat, sleep and do other things in there when not invited in Goldilocks. Fairytales teach you what to do and what not to do, like be witty and bold from The Worn Out Dancing Shoes or to never give up on what you’re looking for from The Tale of The Boy Who Learned Fear. Fairytales are magical and they are the stories that make you learn, from morals and the content.
Fairytales make kids’ imaginations go wild, makes you think anything is possible and to reach for the stars. They make you make wonderful stories, well actually all books do that but fairytales do that the most. They make your imagination run all over the place and make you believe, to have hope everyday. That’s what fairytales do. If you take fairytales out of the world, some of the best stories might’ve never been made, author and actor Chris Colfer said “Once upon a time' These are the most magical words our world has ever known and the gateway to the greatest stories ever told. They're an immediate calling to anyone who hears them-a calling into a world where everyone is welcome and anything can happen. Mice can become men, maids can become princesses, and they can teach valuable lessons in the process” This quote means that fairytales are amazing because it makes people believe, in their lowest times, they can still get something good, anything can happen and anyone can be who they want.

Where does action movies get inspiration for the stunts?
Action movies get inspiration from books. The book that wanted to become a movie. There are a lot of stunts needed for action movies. Such as, Spider Man The director needs to find the person to do the stunts. In Spider Man, the director needs to find a person who can swing across the buildings, to fight and etc.
In action movies, usually they needed professional stunts crews. In some Jackie Chan movies, there has to be a lot of stunts, because his movies contain a lot of fighting. So there must be a lot of professional stunts crews. If the real actress or actor does the dangerous scene, the actor or the actress might also be injured, that’s why movies have double stunts. If the actor/actress get injured, it would be hard for them to continue the film.

How do horror movies get their plot?
Some horror movies are popular because it makes people curious. It can make people famous because the cover, the story and sometimes the cast. Some producers says that horror movies can be frightening but the truth is because the producers want to give their opinion about the horror movie.
Producers usually take their plot from true stories. They use histories/myths from books or Historians. They want to make their movies more interesting or shocking for people to say “AAH!” or “wow!” they also want their movie nice so they can win the favorite movie awards. They also want to make their movie become so famous that they get money to make more and more horror movie.

Superhero movies are interesting because most of these kinds of movies already have the comics which are already popular so they get excited when the movie comes out. Superhero movies are also popular because they make the superhero invincible and always win against the villain or sometimes ending it in a cliffhanger. The writers also use their imagination to enhance the movie and make it spectacular and even better than the comics, making the comic fans very happy. The special effects that producers and directors add in the movie make the movie even better too because they make it look realistic and attractive, also cool. Superhero movies are also very popular because they show the powers that the superhero has to show the world that there is hope of them saving the day, even if they look that they’re going to die and lose against the villain. These points also inspire people because it makes kids think they can reach their dreams and reach for the stars, also not to give up. If a superhero gives up, then a kid gives up, so this is how writers know to always make the hero win and not lose to not crush the hopes of the kids. Superhero movies give hope to kids and everyone else to always believe that something good will happen even in they’re worst times when something has gone insanely wrong.

3. Why are fairytales everlasting?
Fairytales are everlasting because of the tales it brings and the authors’ creative style of writing, example is Hans Christian Anderson. It’s a good bedtime story to tell to kids too. The authors’ put their creative mind into it and make it seem as if you are there and they make the writing magical and surreal. Fairytales are also everlasting because they teach you a lesson, to get back up when you’re down. Example, who wouldn’t say that they hadn’t learned anything from Goldilocks or Cinderella?
They also teach you a lesson, to wish for the best and keep holding on in Cinderella and to not go to a person’s house and eat, sleep and do other things in there when not invited in Goldilocks. Fairytales teach you what to do and what not to do, like be witty and bold from The Worn Out Dancing Shoes or to never give up on what you’re looking for from The Tale of The Boy Who Learned Fear. Fairytales are magical and they are the stories that make you learn, from morals and the content.
Fairytales make kids’ imaginations go wild, makes you think anything is possible and to reach for the stars. They make you make wonderful stories, well actually all books do that but fairytales do that the most. They make your imagination run all over the place and make you believe, to have hope everyday. That’s what fairytales do. If you take fairytales out of the world, some of the best stories might’ve never been made, author and actor Chris Colfer said “Once upon a time' These are the most magical words our world has ever known and the gateway to the greatest stories ever told. They're an immediate calling to anyone who hears them-a calling into a world where everyone is welcome and anything can happen. Mice can become men, maids can become princesses, and they can teach valuable lessons in the process” This quote means that fairytales are amazing because it makes people believe, in their lowest times, they can still get something good, anything can happen and anyone can be who they want.

Where does action movies get inspiration for the stunts?
Action movies get inspiration from books. The book that wanted to become a movie. There are a lot of stunts needed for action movies. Such as, Spider Man The director needs to find the person to do the stunts. In Spider Man, the director needs to find a person who can swing across the buildings, to fight and etc.
In action movies, usually they needed professional stunts crews. In some Jackie Chan movies, there has to be a lot of stunts, because his movies contain a lot of fighting. So there must be a lot of professional stunts crews. If the real actress or actor does the dangerous scene, the actor or the actress might also be injured, that’s why movies have double stunts. If the actor/actress get injured, it would be hard for them to continue the film.
