Costuming - Most of the time it was school clothing even during some of the performances but it all depended on what they had to do at the time and weather it was a performance or just school or out of school performance
Attitude - Again it all depended on what they were doing at the time like in the beginning it was nervous when everyone was trying out but later when everyone was in their first year they were all excited and happy then at the end most of them were sad for some reason.
Space - They used a lot of space for tricks when they did them but they didn't do to many.
Relationships - There wasn't much partner dancing except for ballet.
Styles of Dance - Depended on what they were doing at the time like when they where in class or on their own dancing and such things like that.
Emotions - It really depended on what they were doing at the time like most of the movie.
Space While Talking - Most of the time it was close in and they were just talking in the hall or something like that just normal dialogue but when they singers where talking to the audience they talked big with their hands and everything.

Costuming - The Costumes I thought were quite creative, they used different costumes for different moves and (or) Style of dance.
Attitude - Really, This will probably be confusing, but I found out that really, snotty rich people had crap attidudes when dancing, and the wierd people that could barely afford the school, not to be mean, but they were trying to be nice to the snotty kids, and most of them turned out to have better attitudes after being around nice people.
Space - The dancers used QUITE a bit of space, although there would be times in the movie where people would run into each other, then they made the movie become a turn-off. Especcially when teachers would spend a whole 15 minutes to teach the noobs how to dance. The point of going to school is to learn MORE dance or (other things), not learn them.
Force - AWESOME jerky movements, and pretty cool break dancing.
Relationships - I have nothing to say here, but that they had well relationships.
Time - There Timing was fairly well, they used there space and usually looked at each other to either get back on time, or to make sure that everyone else would make sure that everyone else was on time.
Styles of Dance - Well, I guess you could say that their styles of dance was quite modern, and that they had plenty of ways to make the dances a bit better in plenty of ways.
Emotions - They had good emotions there was sad, happy, let downs, and quite mad, some examples were when couples broke up, and when family was upset about childrens choices.
Clothing - Isn't this the same as costumes?
Space While Talking - They had great space while talking, (if this is correct) they had good space for talking so that they wouldn't crowd each other.
Tone of Movie - The tone of the movie was so freaking annoying, THERE WAS NO PLOT, JUST really small ones.
Tone - I'm not sure what this meens, but I'll take a crack at it. The tone seemed to be triumph, and defeat?

Costuming - Well they had they right costumes for whatever they were currently doing at that moment. They also must have been some time for either making them or waiting for them to arrive because they were pretty well made.
Attitude - If they were playing a character that was mad then they seemed pretty mad, and if they were playing some character with a different emotions then they did that well. It was also the actors who were doing well not just the characters.
Space - They used space well when dancing, it seemed like they had worked on it for years when i saw a couple of the performances. They sometimes had a little amount of space and they used that wisely and even used large amounts of space wisely.
Force - There were a couple times during the part were they were all practicing and they used force wrong, on purpose of course but after that part they did pretty well.
Relationships - Well, by that i assume that you mean relationships between partners and not the boy-girl relationships, because they was a lot of that too. But they worked well with their partners, except for that one dude who tried to commit suicide he wasn't very good.
Time - Well it was about 1:45 when we went to see the movie but i don't think thats what you meant either. They had a freshman through the senior year timeline. And they had great timing when they were dancing, well the ones who didn't get kicked had great timing and when they would ripple or jump and catch each other.
Styles of Dance - They had like jazzy and and hip-hop stuff during the whole movie. The guy who tried to commit suicide did a little bit of tap-dance and ballet.
Emotions - It was kind of excited at the beginning but got a whole lot sadder during the middle and close to the end, at the end it was sort of happy and sad.
Clothing - The clothes helped them do what ever they were doing a whole lot more interesting then if they had just done them in like school uniforms or something.
Space While Talking - Well they definitely talked a lot in the movie and the singers were all over the stage, even the teacher swung her arms when she as singing.
Tone of Movie - The tone was like everyone was all skip and hop around, but as the movie progressed then everyone got sadder and sadder, even though the movie was happy some of the times. By the end it was like half the people were all sad and didn't care and the other half were all YAY IM OUTA SCHOOL!!
Tone - The movie had its ups and its downs, while they're were a lot of downs there were also a bunch of ups i guess to keep people watching the movie and so it didn't seem like everyone in college just wanted to commit suicide.

I thought fame was a ok movie.
The costumes were wierd like the circus costum.
The attutuid was okay because some parts the attuid was just wierd,like the part with the halloween thing in the movie.
The space was okay they just had a littl to much space for the part with the try outs for the acting.
The timing in the movie was good
The style there was not very many different styles of dances in the movie manly just moderen not to much of different styels of dances.
The movies type of emotions were mostly of anger and just crying in the end and some tims the people were sad.
Every body just gave up not really your saying of ahappy ending.
My over all review was okay out of 1 through 10 i would give them a 6/10

You guys are all being tough to please! i agree with you all, but it was entertaining and thats the point of a movie. now will it be a famous blockbuster? of course not but it was worth the time to see. ya, um costuming wasn't any thing special, the dance in it was impressive, epically because they mixed so many different kinds of dance in it including, rap, pop, and ballet. this gave a wide verity of movements such as, swift, slow, controlled, and powerful. there definitely needed to be more of a perspective from a main character than the whole movie bieing about the group of people. lets all face it, the plot sucked but we did not go to see a dramatic plot filled chick flick or any thing like that we went to watch the dancing. as far as lighting was concerned they did good. i did not see to much of it though exept in songs and dances rather than the acting  i injoyed the movie but was expecting more...

What's Happening in the World
/ Re: Venezuela, Chávez, and Global Socialism |
on: Oct 6th, 2009, 7:46pm |

While Chávez and the on-going issues in Venezuela have quieted down over the last week (though still VERY real and present), Honduras has moved to the forefront of Latin American headlines with the return of ex-President Mel Zelaya hiding in the Brazilian embassy...and the rest of the world (including the U.S.) telling them how Honduras should run their country.
So what's it been like? Here's a fascinating BLOG from a Chilean reporter that's also been hiding in the embassy with Zelaya and his supporters:

The movie was ok, dance wise. I feel that the movie did not have enough dancing and it was more of a romance movie. More like a "School of Rock" type of movie. The end of the movie was pethetic. There was no big ending number and it was mostly singing. Another point to back up my statement is that half of the movie was about trying to get that album made and published so they have a further career. Even though i like "School of Rock" type of movies, in a dance movie there needs to be... dance!
Costumes - In the ending number where the people came at in jungle costumes definatly made the dance seem more, Junglish! Ha.
Attitude - The attitudes were usualy on a low level. Mostly because the breakup. That made the movie a lot more dramatic. (Which also gave that romance efect)
Space - I agree with Skyler. The dancers were mostly taking up a lot of space to do fancy moves which does need space.
Force - There was a lot of force but then again there wasnt. Like one of the very first dances where the dancers danced in the lunch room, it was smooth with some parts and sharp with other parts.
Relationships - The singers would sing about something going on in there life and the dancers would dance in either a fast motion (if there was something good going on in there life) or dance slow looking down or sad (if something bad was going on in there life)
Time - It would usualy start with music and then the dancer(s) would come in.
Style of Dance - The style of the dances were mostly fast and smooth. But sometimes it would be slow. Like the begining of the ending number, it was slow.
Emotions - Most of everybody was excited and pumped but others were sometimes sad and such.
Clothing - The clothing set the emotion for the scene/dance/song.
Space While Talking - Everyone moved around while talking, taking up space.
Tone of the Movie - The overall tone was happy. But as the two broke up the tone of the turned sad.
Tone - The tone would change as the dancers/singers emotion did.
I did end up liking the movie in the end.

Personally i didn't like the movie at all!! I thought it was slow but then it picked up a little bit at the end but over all it wasn't my favorite.
Tone - I thought it started out fast then everybody got sad because some people moved and some people got kicked out of the school, then at the end everybody was happy and it ended.
Attitude - At the beginning the attitude was very nervous because they thought they wouldn't get into the school but then after everyone got in the school they kind of got happy still a little nervous and then at the end no one was nervous and everybody had there own style of dancing.
Clothing - I thought that the clothing really brought out the styles of dance that everybody had.
Styles of dance - I thought that they were very smooth but sometimes they were a little intense and rough.
Emotions - I thought that the movie was very sad at points like the time when the boy broke up with that girl and the time when that guy was about to commit suicide in the metro station.
Space - Everybody used tons of space because they had to give each other room to breakdance and stuff.
Movements - The movements in Fame when the music was soft the movements would be smooth and as the music got louder the would have sharper moves.

Costuming - The way the people were costumed made you know the background that that specific character has.
Attitude - The attitude of the movie was mostly excitement, joy, and sometimes sadness.
Space - Most of the time the dancers has ma feet in between them and when they did a move in the air they have enough space in between them to be safe.
Force - The characters in the movie did not use much force most of it was flips and splits etc...
Relationships - In the dance the people used a lot of feeling in their dance and if they were singing about something that they liked they put their sole into it.
Time - The timing of the dancers was perfect. when a group song came up they blended with each other perfectly
Styles of Dance - The many styles of dance that they used made you know when the event was happy or sad.
Emotions - The movie was mostly happy.
Clothing - The clothing really showed if they were rich poor sad happy etcc...
Space While Talking - The characters really took up all the space they had they wasted nothing.
Tone of Movie - The tone of the changed when the characters got mad at each other or really anything like if theirs dreams were crushed etc...
Tone - When the dancers got their dreams back the movie was happy again
