Film Club 10/02/09

This week we watched the movie's Poltergeist and Dracula and saw different techniques by the directors and saw really how far horror movies have come in such a short time. Dracula was directed and produced very well for its time periods it gave us ideas for when we decided to make movies.

Today I went out and bought donuts from a local donuts shop and with the help of my advisory we sold them and other snacks we our now up to 90 dollars in less than two weeks. This shows 2 things.
1) That I do have these skills but am still not ready to admit I have reach my LOG's.
2) Now that i have awareness of these skills I want to make atleast 500 dollars before the beginning of 2010, this is my new goal by using the same LOGs to make over 500 dollars I am almost up to 100 I know I can. I am really seeing that with my motivation I was able to get other people more motivated because this is truly a global importance and I know 500 dollars once fix poverty but its a start.

Today in film club we watched the movie Plan 9 from Outer Space by Edward D. Wood Jr. which is a low budget horror movie from the late 1950s which we compared how movie making and especial horror movies have increased from the 1950 to the late 70s when Halloween was made. We've come to respect and listen each others so far.

Today was my first film club meeting after our introductory meeting on 9/10/09 where we discussed what we will do this year. Anyways today we watched the movie "Halloween" by John Carpenter and we discussed our likes and dislikes of the movie and decided what we'd like to learn and copy from the movie and what does not belong in the movies.

Today I sold cookies to the students of my school making 22 more dollars now putting me at 34.75 almost half way to my goal. I am learning more about my strengths because I've always been afraid to go up to people I don't know and now I have to sell things to them and I am doing good at, which makes me happy because its worth it in the end to hopefully see all the money I save go to people who really need it. This whole process is really shows me how lucky I and other people have it and how we should help out families who are needy.

Today I sold donuts before school time and during break making over 12$ towards my goal of between 50 and 100 dollars before Christmas time. It felt really good selling for this purpose and made me want to sell more. THis is very important so I can help out as many family s as possible during the winter time with the current economic state.
