You shall be using the knowledge you have gleaned from the book and class experience to complete this webquest. Have fun trying to impress the executives of production company, and creating an amazing movie trailer!

=Task= You have gone to college and decided that your dream career would to be a screen writer. The only problem is that you have not been able to fine a production company to cover the cost of your films. You hear about 20th Century Fox's search for a new film to produce. You are to write a script for a film that will dazzle the producers. Unfortunately you understand that you can't undertake this task alone, so you gather friends to create this film. Your group decides to incorporate themes from an old classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest into your film. To further illustrate how great your film will be you create a movie clip, or a trailer to show to the producers. Once you and your group have refined the movie clip you will present it to the producers and pitch your movie idea with all the enthusiasm you can muster. Remember, you need this movie deal to pay the bills, buy food, and not get evicted.

=Conclusion= Congratulations! I'm sure that you have successfully adapted the themes from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's into an interesting movie trailer. Don't stop here. Continue to evaluate and analyze how these themes fit into your life. When you watch movie trailers after this experience I hope you ask yourself if they were trying to portray one of the themes that you did.
