INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Begin with a basic flow of your narrative. Focus on the conflict of the story; conflict drives drama. Keep length in mind. When in script format, each page is roughly one minute of screen time. The average length of a two-hour script is 120 pages. Dramas should be around the 2-hour mark, comedies should be shorter, around one and a half hours. The pillars of a screenplay are the Three Acts. Each act can operate independently, and when taken together provide the full arc of a story. Act One: This is the set-up for the story. Introduce the world and the characters. Set the tone of the story (comedy, action, romance, etc.). Introduce your protagonist, and begin exploring the conflict that will drive the story. Once the protagonist is set towards the objective, then Act Two begins. For dramas, Act One is typically 30 pages. For comedies, 24 pages. Act Two: This act is the main portion of the story. The protagonist will encounter obstacles on the path to the resolution of the conflict. Subplots are typically introduced in the second act. Throughout the second act, the protagonist should be showing signs of change. For dramas, Act Two is typically 60 pages. For comedies, 48 pages. Act Three: In the third act, the story reaches its resolution. The third act contains the twist of the story and ends with the final confrontation of the objective. Because the story has already been established in the second act, the third act is much faster-paced and condensed. For dramas, Act Three is typically 30 pages. For comedies, 24 pages. Sequences are parts of the story that operate somewhat independently from the main conflict. They have a beginning, middle, and end. A typical sequence will be about 10 to 15 pages in length. A sequence tends to focus on a specific character. Scenes are the events of your movie. They take place in specific locations and always serve to drive the story forward. If a scene does not do this, then it should be cut from the script. Scenes that serve no purpose will stick out in the audience's mind as flaws, and will drag the story down. Once you have scenes, you will have characters interacting. Dialogue can be one of the hardest things to write. Each character needs to have its own distinct, believable voice. Realistic dialogue is not necessarily good dialogue. Dialogue should be focused on moving the story forward and developing characters. You should not worry about trying to capture reality with dialogue, because in reality, conversations are often dull and lifeless. Read your dialogue aloud. Does it sound halting, stereotyped, or over-the-top? Do all of your characters talk the same way? Now that all your ideas are on paper, look for weak links, distractions, or anything that drags. Does the story ever get sidetracked? Are there unnecessary details or repetitions? Do you give your audience enough credit? If it over-explains or doesn't move your story forward, cut it. Choose people with different tastes and backgrounds to get a variety of opinions. Be sure to ask for the cold, hard truth; you want constructive criticism, not flattery or lies. This may be painful at first, but when all is said and done, you'll be glad you took the time to properly convey your vision.

SUMMARY: Outline your story. Write your story in three acts. Add sequences. Start writing scenes. Begin writing dialogue. Cut away the dead weight. Show your finished work to a few friends. Revise your work as many times as necessary.

Whether you have brown, blue, green or gray eyes, it is essential that you choose the right colors for your eye-shadow. Being pale is like being a blank canvas: colors will show up with more intensity on you because you have a lighter tone. Someone with very dark skin may be able to easily pull off dark and/or vibrant makeup while muted neutral tones may be more flattering on a person with lighter skin. Soft neutrals, such as taupe, cream, sand, pale pink, and beige may be your best bet. Remember, less makeup is more for a light-skinned woman. Makeup tends to show up easier on someone with lighter skin, so just a little bit of light eye-shadow can look stunning. If you want to wear brighter shades, such as neons and metallics, use them in small amounts as accents in order to look your best.

Q: There are many different recipes to create different patinas. Patinas change the color by creating a chemical reaction with the metal to create a colored film over the surface. You can use a patina on any copper or bronze metal to give the surface an aged color and appearance similar to the green coloring of the Statue of Liberty. Depending on the material, you can search for a patina recipe to create the color you are looking for or purchase one over the counter. For a green verdigris patina, add three parts apple cider vinegar to one part salt. For a black patina, add sulfur of liver (sulfurated potash) to warm water. Some patina recipes will require the metal to be heated before applying the patina, so you may need to purchase a torch to heat the metal. You can use a regular paint bucket for cold mixtures, but you may want to use a large metal pot if the patina mixture needs to be heated. The bucket should be large enough to immerse your object in the solution. Patina mixtures may need to be heated or cooled, so use a container that will work for the temperature of your recipe. Some chemicals can give off hazardous fumes. Always use a workspace that is well-ventilated. If you are coloring an object that is too large to put in a container, you can put a patina solution into a spray bottle and spray it all over the metal. You can also wet a rag with the solution and rub it on the metal, or use a paint brush to apply it to the surface. Just be sure to wear rubber gloves when using harsh chemicals to avoid contact. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and place the metal object in the container filled with a patina mixture. Depending on your patina recipe, you may need to let the piece sit for anywhere from a few minutes up to several hours. Set a timer and wait. Check on your piece after the allotted time. If you want a more intense color, let the metal soak longer. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and remove the metal once your metal has taken on its desired appearance. The patina will continue to change while the piece dries, so be patient. If you want to color the piece further, place it back into the mixture and repeat the process. Use a spray-on acrylic clear coat varnish to help protect the surface and coloration.
A: Create a patina mixture. Fill a container with your patina mixture. Soak the piece in the mixture. Remove the metal. Let the metal dry completely. Coat the metal with a varnish.
