BIg Idea Project

Big Idea: Risk taking/close calls
Potential Topics: Shoot out, fast paced, running, chasing, antagonist vs. protagonist, Adventure, steal something, injury, mystery, twist, cheesy old action scene.

Action is tough, gritty, bloody, and fast.  Heart pounding scenes.

Comedy is and thing thats funny. It could be fast witty humor or slow planned out comedy                 conversations.

Action isn't slow and boring its very intriguing, it grabs your attention and forces you to watch.
Comedy is something that if done correctly you should want to be friends with that person or at least know them. If you understand.  When i see someone who is or acts funny i want to get to know the person.
In action the main characters are tough and rough they don't really care about much
In comedies it can really be anyone who stars in it.  But in action comedies you almost have someone who is in experienced and doesn't know what they are doing.
Boys usually want to see as many actions movies s they can even when their younger.
Comedy is for everyone but it's hard to reach all age groups at once.  Comedy can usually only reach a certain demographic kids, teens, young adult, adult, and seniors.
Boys usually love action movies and girls sometimes do but it doesn't draw girls as much as it does guys.  Comedy can reach anyone in the demographic they aim for.
Action in real life isn't normally as entertaining as it is in movies and people/things in life can be really funny but movies are usually packed full of comedy.
movie action comedy don't happen in real life.
In action lives are usually threatened and in comedies people are usually made fun of or have good come backs.
rewards in action can be saving someone or getting justice.  comedies goals are usually just to make you laugh... thats it.

intervention

- In your own words, what is intervention?
I think that an intervention is anything that is different in someone's life.  Anything that intervenes with their everyday routine.

- What was the purpose of this exercise? 
To show everyone in the class how much fun and how great it is to make someone else day more fun, interesting, or just different.

- Why did you choose to intervene the way you did? I’m looking for more than “I thought it would be funny” or “no one would expect it.”  What social/personal/human issue did you intend to comment on? Why? How?
I had a lot more that I wanted to do that I didn't get too but that was just because of the winter.  I ended up with my idea by starting out with the craziest thing I could think of.  Then when i chickened out and couldn't go swimming in the fountain i worked my way down to just doing odd things in the store because i figured that it was reasonable and still a good idea.  Why? because people often don't enjoy going to the store.  Seeing something weird always makes me smile.  How? random things that certain people look like they would enjoy.

- Why did you choose the location? I’m looking for more thought than “lots of people would be there, so I went there.” How did the location play up your specific idea?
We figured that in walmart we would be able to get away with a lot more than we would anywhere else.  The location gave us so much options to do for the video that we were kind of overwhelmed.

- Name three specific examples, ideas, artworks or statements you observed in class that helped you plan for this project.
I always watch video on youtube of people pranking other people and i think that its so funny so i got a big inspiration from that.  The video of improve everywhere was pretty cool too.



I hate routines and i cant stand when i have to do the same thing over and over again.  People that have to go to the store usually arent happy to be there.  Me and my friends thought that we should go to walmart and do something weird to try to make them go home and tell someone in their family something they saw at walmart.  We would see someone in an ail and based on what was around them we would do something crazy.  Brian saw a girl next to  big teddy bear so he picked it up sucked his thumb and walked around her. When we did things like that for a while we decided to make sure everyone saw something.  So what we did was rode bikes through the store around everyone. It was fun and i hope what we went there to do ended up happening.  This was a really fun project and i enjoyed it a ton.
