In the book I Am #4 some challenges that every director faces when makeing a movie is in its length. Keeping the details and story the same while not changing it to much or loosing to much of the story along the way. Three scenes that need to stay are when John first gets his powers. Second when he first meets Sarah at the school and how they get together. Last the ending when Henry dies and the story ends. We would probobly have to cut some of the smaller scenes like some of the times that John and Sarah get together. Another scene that would need to be cut would be the meatball scene with the princible.

Book One Project

The Hunger Games park opens up to the public in three days. The park is remarkably big and is designed for many open areas and along with many restricted areas out past the fence.  This park will feature many different kinds of food and items each representing different parts of the thirteen districts in the book. There will be a small arena that you can travel through showing the battlegrounds of the first game in the book. There will be actors acting out the story every couple hours along with free refreshments to and participating citizens that would like to take part in the archery contest to see if you can shoot as good as Katniss from the book. Each district will have a contest depending on the special job from each district. There will be a gift shop at the entrance of the park selling anything from food to souvenirs. There will be pins for each districts specialization as well as mocking jay pins for all the revolutionaries. There will be numerous challenges along the roads if you wish to embark on them, some dealing with nature, others animals or people and maybe even some game maker surprises. Weather they come from above or below like in a parachute that helped the contestants so many times or it’s a ball of fire speeding your way like when the game makers push Katniss to other contestants for a fight, you won’t know until you take on the challenges that the games will show. There will be weapons of every kind that where in the books for you to buy and us in the training arena to show off your skills the sponsors or to take home as souvenirs. If you want you can even rent a weapon to show off your prowess. For the people who just want to sit back and relax there will be the main city centered the middle of the park. Just like the nations center in the book the center will be luxurious and beautiful with some of the most exotic and most beautiful pieces of art, food, and furniture the world has to offer. With its thirteen floors to the central building, open roof with a garden and a beautiful view below it’s only a matter of time before you fall for the central city in Panem. On the entrance sits a sign that reads “Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!” (Collins19) There will also be signs in the different areas around the park of some of the best quotes from the book. One of my favorites would be, “Here’s some advice. Stay alive.” (Collins 56) Also every time the park gets is seventy fifth player in the day  an announcement will play, “Ladies and Gentlemen, let the Seventy-forth hunger games begin!” (Collins 147) Just to keep things relatively the same. The idea behind the park is to show how much we appreciate the books story and to show that we want others to come and see and enjoy the story in all its glory. We won’t our citizens to not just dream of being able to go the Panem, but to enjoy it by coming to our park. We try to bring everything that the story has to offer, from the small parts of the story to the extreme parts. Where once it was just a book then it became someone’s dream. Well now we wanted to make it a reality. So we stuck to the story and tried to bring in all the best parts, from the games to the food and to that old book that started it all. We’ve brought all the good the bad and brought it together to try to make the most fun filled park that we can have without anyone getting hurt of course. This park we hope will really draw in the audience and bring the numerous fans to our park in an attempted to show them such a great story. Here is what some of it looks like ubove.
