1). Reading is subject to change over time and is something that will always change writer by writer. From such variety from writers, a writer must read other writers work because it allows the writer to be influenced by others. Every writer has another influence to their work because they all have some kind of motivation from another writer that they look up to and aim their work towards. Reading is the stepping stones for writing. Reading a new book will always be different from another and will never be seen as the same as another allowing for a lot of creativity, variety, and deep thought from someone. Writing isnt a template and is made through deep thought and influences. I feel that a writer needs to have a goal in what they want the writer to see and they can do this through their own style  but it can be influenced by another piece of work but they can critique that style and make it their own.

2). I see global warming as a huge dilemma in the world. Its something that isnt going to stop anytime soon and is growing exponentially. It scares me to think that the world may be gone in a couple hundred yaers possibly. We need to create more and enthuse others to recycle and put their share into helping the world. Its a problem that many dont seem that they want to do anything about because they dont see the developing problem that is going to be devastating to the world and the people in it. People dont want to help because its not something thats easily seen and thus, they dont want to help until it is something that they can see with their own eyes and effects themseleves.

3). I have been inspired by many snowboard movies for filming purposes. I would say that Burning Bridges has been a influential work for my filming eye and my editing eye. The way that they film and over white balance the shots make the shot something new too look at and are unique. The editing is something else in the snowboard world. They were the first to edit like they do and have black and white, 8mm film, and just not intense snowboarding, but more of a fun feeling. It really makes you enjoy snowboarding for what it is. The starting titles are always different and something you would never see coming and its always nice to see something new because its hard to think of new creative things. The riding in the video is also awesome because they portray each rider for who they are and dont try to make them someone else they arent. The creativity that they put into the film is something i hope to put into my own films because its caught my eye in a positive way and if i can capture this essense and put it in to my video, i hope it would do the same for my audience. Its very influential to me and is a video that will follow me into my future.
