List of French words and phrases used by English speakers Here are some examples of French words and phrases used by English speakers. English contains many words of French origin, such as art, competition, force, machine, police, publicity, role, routine, table, and many other anglicized French words. These are pronounced according to English rules of phonology, rather than French. Around 28% of English vocabulary is of French or Oïl language origin, most derived from, or transmitted by, the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English. This article, however, covers words and phrases that generally entered the lexicon later, as through literature, the arts, diplomacy, and other cultural exchanges not involving conquests.

Really really worth it, like The Dark Knight or The Incredibles. Sometimes the results are absolutely horrible, like Daredevil or the more recent Iron Man 2 movie. What gives? Clearly they cover the same material. What is it that sets The Incredibles apart from other comic-book style films like the original Superman or Jaws where defeating the bad guy was everything? Some Pretty Incredible Storytelling Is every superhero story really about beating the bad guy? Stories Are About Solving Problems The Inciting Incident brings an inequity into the lives of the characters within the story, creating an imbalance that begs for some sort of resolution. Sometimes those inequities are resolved, as with Inception or The Town, other times they are not. The Incredibles issues begin with Bob's loss in court against failed suicide-jumper Oliver Sansweet. Superheroes Who Don't Get to Be Superheroes This is the real problem at the heart of The Incredibles.
John K Stuff Top 10 first lines in children's and teen books | Children's books The boy and the old man arrived at the port at night. That's the first line in my debut novel, Close to the Wind, and I'm rather proud of it. The line doesn't shout out at you, but it does a lot of work establishing the tone of the book and giving you the setting and characters without any fuss. It's always difficult to know how to begin a book. Originally, I had a much bolder first line but during an editorial meeting it was suggested I lose it and start with the second line in. Of course, I objected. An opening sentence should draw the reader from their own head and take them somewhere completely different. It was a dark, blustery afternoon in spring, and the city of London was chasing a small mining town across the dried out bed of the old North Sea. 1. Is this the best ever opening line from a children's book? The first thing you find out when yer dog learns to talk is that dogs don't got nothing much to say. 2. A great book that's all about the voice and he nails it in the first line.

Get Me Writing » 5 Interactive Fiction Authoring Tools EmailEmail If you want to get into writing Interactive Fiction (IF) it can be hard to know where to get started. So here is a list of five IF authoring tools so you can pick the approach that’s best for you. This is an update of a post I wrote way back in 2010. It’s been a long time and some helpful folks have pointed out some things I’ve missed, so it’s well overdue for an update. Because this is a long one, here are some quick links in case you came here for a specific tool:Twine Inform TADS Quest ADRIFT Twine (Mac, Windows, Linux) Summary Visual interfaceProduces HTML-based stories (that require javascript)Has limited support for basic programmingGood entry-level system Twine is the simplest way to create a text adventure, and therefore the easiest to use.

studentfilm.ch :: Neues Netzwerk für Nachwuchsfilm The Blackwing Diaries: On Story: No reason to sacrifice character to plot This is a reposting of a Diaries entry from March 2006 that I think bears revisiting. Michael Barrier makes some sharp--and challenging--comments about the point of great character animation in his most recent post. He describes his friend, animator Milt Gray, flipping some of Ollie Johnston's animation of "Jock" from Lady and the Tramp, and being startled by the amazingly lifelike performance that sprung off the pages. Barrier continues: The great virtue of Disney films like Lady and the Tramp was that they showed that such animation is possible. Tough words...but I know what he's talking about, and I suspect most of my colleagues do, too. To turn Barrier's premise inside-out, though, there have been some Disney films where "story" took a backseat to characters. It's been said by wiser heads than mine that in the latter days of the nine old men, they were actors without a worthy stage, much like Laurence Olivier giving it his all in "Boys From Brazil" or "The Betsy".
Hitchcock’s Storyboards from 13 Classic Films Hitchcock was known for his extensive storyboarding down to the finest detail of production. He was reported to have never even bothered looking through the viewfinder, since he didn’t need to do so. Looking at his storyboards versus the finial film it’s safe to say that is a vast overstatement. Hitchcock trained as a draughtsman and worked in advertising before his first job in the film industry; designing title cards for silent films. Perhaps this influenced his pre-visual style. While he was an experienced illustrator he always hired a storyboard artist. Family Plot (1976) Storyboard by Thomas J.Wright for the cemetery scene for Family Plot and the pursuit of Mrs. Topaz (1969) Thomas Wright’s “Topaz” storyboard. Marnie (1964) Storyboard sketch from “Marnie” by Harold Michelson. The Birds (1963) Harold Michelson “The Birds” storyboard. Psycho (1960) Saul Bass prepared storyboards for the shower scene, and was on the set during at least part of the filming. North by Northwest (1959)
