Why don't you dance?

1) Raymond Carver uses different sights like the stripes on the mattress and the reading lamp on the bedside.  He also took about 2 paragraphs just to set the scene so the reader would have a visual idea of the story.

2)-That it is nighttime because she could see stars.

   -That it is nighttime because they could see all the houses turning on their lights down the street,      which you can only do when it is dark outside.

3) "He looked at them as they sat at the table. In the lamplight, there was something 

about their faces. It was nice or it was nasty. There was no telling."

-It shows it was dark with just lamplight which gave a lighting so you are unable to see the their expressions.

"Arms about each other, their bodies pressed together, the boy and the girl moved 

up and down the driveway. They were dancing. And when the record was over, they did 

it again, and when that one ended, the boy said. "I'm drunk."

-The two were dancing on the driveway (most likely at night), and the boy got drunk.

Evaluation Criteria

Criteria: Group Movie Project


Describe your role in the production of the class movie. How did your contribution make things more efficient? How did you help make the movie better? What specific contributions did you make? Did you go above and beyond, or simply show up? Be honest.

I changed my roles from day to day.  First, I was the script supervisor and was in charge of putting everyone in place to shoot the scene.  The second day, I used the audio machine which was important to get more quality sound during the movie.  Third, I just played as an extra.  I think I did help to the making of the movie and it would have gone somewhat slower without me.

Describe one or more things you learned about the writing process that you did not know before working on this project.

I never knew everyone comes together from their smaller group to contribute pieces to the bigger group.

Describe one or more things you learned about the production (filming) process that you did not know before working on this project.

I never knew conversation scenes are shot from both peoples view so it is easier to switch back and forth.

Describe one or more things you learned about the post-production (editing, sound, etc.) process that you did not know before working on this project.

I never knew audio from the audio device was put into the movie at the end.

Are you satisfied with the final product? Why or why not? Be honest.

Yes, I thought it turned out funny and used many different people's ideas.

Suggest one improvement for next year’s class. What could I do to make it easier/better/more informative/more fun?

Moving quicker. It was starting to get tedious toward the end of the project so maybe getting more organized before starting to film.
