This is an impact on me as a student, because what if my dream was to become an actor? This definitely would stop me from getting to where I would want to go. As a future filmmaker, I would definitely have to keep my eyes open on to who to hire and who not to hire. As a consumer, I'm very shocked about this. If I were a parent, and my child were an actor in the entertainment industry, I wouldn't allow my child to go back and act unless they did something about it. I think this is really horrible. Im glad that now, it requires criminal background checks for managers, publicists, photographers and others with unsupervised access to young performers. But I personally think that they should've done this a long time ago. Questions that come up is, how long has this been going on for? Do you think they should've done this a long time ago? What do you think about this incident?

Gov. Jerry Brown signs law to protect child actors
September 28, 2012
On thursday, Gov. Jerry Brown had signed a law to afford greater protections of young actors in Hollywood. Recently revelations had come up about child molesters working in the entertainment industry. I thought this was very important, because I never thought this would happen. Many kids/teens love acting and being in the entertainment industry. But imagine how many had to stop their dreams of acting, just because of what is happening. I chose this specific article, because my best friend is into the entertainment industry and acts, and I would absolutely hate for this to happen to her or even have this stop her from her accomplishing her goals/dreams.

'Hotel Transylvania,' 'Frankenweenie' have monster animation
The films are creature features that bring classic sensibilities to kids. In the case of Tim Burton's stop-motion black-and-white "Frankenweenie," which opens Oct. 5 from Disney, the movie embraces the Universal horror films of yore. Based on his 1984 live-action short film, Burton's "Frankenweenie" revolves around a boy named Victor Frankenstein who uses the power of science to bring his dog Sparky back to life. Producer Allison Abbate said with "Frankenweenie," what they tried to do with it was to "re-create the excitement of Tim and I and the other filmmakers had when we saw those movies". Their hope is that it will spark kids to have a deeper interest in it.
This article is important, because i thought it was cool how the hope of "Frankenweenie" was to bring those horror films to a new generation of people. It caught my eye, because i like how this film is in black and white just like an old classic film. The impact of this article on me as a student is great. I love their ideas they put in this film, and how classical it is. As a future filmmaker, it greatly influences me on how unique and interesting your film should be, and how much effort you have to put into it to become successful. Questions that come up is, Will this movie get a lot of viewers? What made the director come up with a film like this??
Finding Nemo, 3-D!
September 13, 2012
“Finding Nemo’s” 3-D re-release was said to go swimmingly at the box office and was expected to debut at No.1. Walt Disney Studios had decided to pull a handful of its most popular animated titles out of the vault for 3-D re-releases a month after “The Lion King 3-D” scored at the box office. Disney expected “Finding Nemo” to ultimately sell more tickets than “Beauty and the Beast," but fewer than “Lion King.” The studio said it spent under $5 million to convert “Finding Nemo” to 3-D, meaning it should be a financial winner for Disney. When Pixar's Animation's "Finding Nemo" was first released nine years ago, it debuted to glowing critical reviews and it had won the Oscar for best animated feature. When 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures distributed “Titanic 3-D” in April, the movie did massive global business, raking in nearly $350 million worldwide. I think this article is important, because I thought this was an amazing and smart idea. I didn't think they would actually "re-release" a movie, back in theaters, but in 3-D. This article caught my eye, because i absolutely love Finding Nemo, but didnt get to watch it in 3-D. I think it gives out a much different perspective when its in 3-D, not just this movie, but any other movie.
There is an impact of this article on me as a student, a future filmmaker, and a consumer, because as a student i would definitely go out to watch these re-releases in theaters in 3-D. As a future filmmaker, I would keep this in mind by re-releasing a movie in theaters because I think it's a very smart way to make good business.

A question that came up was, What movie is next in line for a re-releasing in 3-D???

The Oogiloves sing, dance- and flop...
September 6, 2012
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-oogieloves-big-balloon-adventure-20120903,0,7665861.story
'The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure,' which cost $60 million to make, was on track to take in only $6 million in its first weekend.
The idea was to create a two-way entertainment experience, which Viselman believed that it had been lacking in the children's space. He said he was inspired to create "Oogieloves" after seeing a Tyler Perry movie in a theater, where people got into it and talked back to the screen. "Oogieloves" is a culmination of a dream that began with Teletubbies, whose British licensors Viselman could not persuade to make a feature film. The hook of "Oogieloves" was that it encouraged children to get up and dance while some of the songs played. I thought it was kind of odd how he came up with this toddler movie, because he has no kids. Viselman had mentioned that, "Pixar always had the triumph of good over evil." He had said "Why did there have to be evil in the first place?" Which brought him to the direction of the "Oogieloves".
I think this article is important, because it shows how directors come up with their ideas for different kinds of movies. This article caught my eye, because my five yr old niece really wanted to watch this movie, but we all thought this movie just looked ridiculous just by how it looked, and what the characters looked like. There is an impact of this article on me as a student, because the ideas that some directors come up with are crazy. As a toddler in the mid 90's, they weren't coming up with these kinds of movies, they were coming up with like "The Little Rascals", "The Lion King", etc. As a future filmmaker, this impacts me, because it sets a pretty good expectation on toddler movies, but just not as high as the Pixar and Dreamworks films. Some questions I came up with is, Did the toddlers really like this movie? How long did it take for Viselman to come up with this whole film?

Jersey Shore, no more...
After six long seasons, Jersey shore is no more. The last ever episode of Jersey Shore will be aired on October 4th. There has not been any further information as to why they are going to cancel this show, but I am very glad that they are doing so! This show to me now, is very pointless, and I think it's a good idea that they're canceling this show, but despite the cancelation of this show, a few of the cast are starting to work on separate shows such as Snooki & JWOWW and The Pauly D Project.
This article caught my eye, because I used to watch this show a couple years ago and wondered how it changed from when I used to watch it, to now. There really is no impact on this article on me as a student, and there is certainly no impact on me on this as a future filmmaker. If I were a filmmaker, I definitely would not have made this media with these kinds of plots with no actually meaning to it. But as a consumer, I would actually care about the cancelation of this realty show.
Many questions come up as to why did they even start this reality tv show? How did they come up with this? and how did these characters in the show, become famous so fast?
