Conflict Blog

Conflict is seen everywhere, from TV, to movies, and in real life. One example of conflict that I have seen in a movie is in "Toy Story 2". One of the main characters, Woody, is taken by a guy who sells toys to be on display. Woody's friends go out to find and rescue him. In real life, conflict is everywhere. One time I had conflict in my own life is when a family member of mine passed away. It was a sad time for my family and myself. It is a moment in my life which I will never forget. This conflict, however,  can be made into a movie. Most movies has this type of conflict, with a main character or one of the main character's relatives or friends passing away. It isn't very difficult to make a movie with this conflict involved somewhere in the plot. In fact, this is one of the most common conflicts in film.

My Film Job

All the jobs in film, such as producer, director, and casting director seem really fun and entertaining. But the job that I feel that attracts me the most is the screenwriter. With this job, you have the freedom to write and chose what is on the screen for the film. You can chose the characters name, the conflict, and the dialogue. The path the film takes and the direction it goes is in control of the of the screenwriter. The screenwriter also decides where to put undeserved misfortune and the superior position to make the film shine. This job really is underrated with producer, director, and other positions on the line, but in reality the screenwriter is one of the most important positions for the making of a film. The way the film turns out is in the hands of the screenwriter.
