William Baer SCRATCH

I really good idea I noticed from the article was how George Lucas used note cards for each scene. The note cards would contain the music, the characters, and the plot for each scene. As for our group, I don't think we need a note for our screenplay, but it would not be a bad idea to split our script into small parts with information for each scene. I also liked how George, Gloria, and Willard were not afraid to voice opinions, cutting out dialogue for example, and made appropriate changes. The group was willing to compromise and trust in others decisions. I hope that our group would be willing to compromise as well. Another thing I learned was that we should never be afraid to do wild, or unorthodox. The ideas, characters, and the themes in American Graffiti were weird and wild. We should also strive to be fresh, fun and wild as well; you never know if people will like it or not. I also liked how each people brought their abilities to the table. George was a master at music and montages. Willard and Gloria was exceptional at dialogue. They brought all their abilities to the table and collaborated. The more important point was that each of them knew what they were good at and what they weren't. This allowed them to put aside their pride because they knew how good each of them were.
