Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Go location scouting. Discuss what parts of the room you want to use. Think of the room's "lines" when designing. Build, design, or buy essential crafts and props. Remember that less is more. Remove or cover up any brand images. Light the set with the cinematographer.

Answer: Grab a nice camera and hit the road. Try and get 2-3 set options for each scene you have to design. Take shots of every single angle of the room, using as much lighting as you possibly can, so that the director knows exactly what the space looks like. On the way take pictures of furniture, decorations, or props that you think are a good fit in the set. Other things to jot down include:  The dimensions of the space. Whenever possible, make accurate measurements with a tape measure-- there is a lot of film equipment you'll need to fit in the set. Any fees or stipulations for the set. For example, you might be able to shoot in a public school classroom during the summer, but it will be nearly impossible to film in fall when all the students are back. What are the power capabilities of the set? You need to plug a lot of things in to make a movie. Hows the ambient sound? Will people be walking through the set, and is that okay for the script? In most cases you will need to design 2-3 walls, such as the ones behind two chatting characters. However, if the director wants to use the entire room for filming then you need to be sure that the entire set looks like it could be in a movie. Where are the characters moving through the set? This is called blocking, and you should push the director to make a decision now so that you aren't redesigning the set on the fly when shooting starts. Lines create the illusion of movement for the audience, which makes a set design dramatic and engaging. Line is everywhere -- the tops of couches, the floorboards, the horizon-- so don't interpret this as pinstripes. Remember that a set is a 3D space, but the audience perceives it as a 2D space, like a photograph. Thinking of your set like you were composing a photograph will always lead to more interesting designs. How can you get the illusion of depth in your set? What lines of perspective, furniture, and decorations will lead the eye to the most important prop/character in the scene? There are hundreds of DIY solutions to set design, but these take time. You need to use your budget to balance the speed of buying everything with the creative control of building the whole set. Your design needs will change from set to set, but there are some key principles to keep in mind:  How essential is a prop to a shot? If it is just a piece of background material you can often get away with a cheap, quick prop, as it will likely be blurred out anyway. Posters may help decorate a room, but they can also look cheap. Buying several inexpensive poster frames, however, can give the room a much more high-class feel. Make or buy one large centerpiece if you are on a budget. What is the focal point of the scene, and how can you make that as great a prop as possible? 90% of viewers will be focusing on that object the entire time, such as the couch two characters are sitting on. Unless the point of the scene is that things are cluttered and chaotic, less is more in the scene. You don't want the audience focusing on your set, you want them focusing on the actors and action. A great set is unobtrusive -- it feels natural and realistic, less like a set and more like a room you could visit in real life. While you can think of many extravagant, complex sets (The Royal Tenenbaums, The Great Gatsby, Blade Runner, etc.) these are not exceptions to the rule. Rather, the sets in these movies are made to fit a lush, extravagant, or chaotic script. Thus, they appear natural in the world of the movie. It actually costs money to show that "Kitchen-Aid" logo on the mixer in the corner. While it is unlikely that you'll get sued for anything, there is no need to take the risk. Whatever brand logos you can remove, cover up, or hide need to be covered up. This is done because a brand may not like how you use it in a movie. No toilet paper company, for example, want to see their product used by a serial killer to wipe up blood. After lighting, there is a good chance you'll need to redesign the set a bit to eliminate awkward shadows or fit in lighting stands. This is also a chance to put in any "practicals," which are lights that appear as part of the final movie, like lamps or ceiling lights. The cinematographer is also in charge of camera placement, meaning this is the time to work out crew placement and check how your scene looks at specific camera angles.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep it longer. Pull it up in a top knot. Create natural waves overnight. Don't be afraid to experiment. Try a hair mask.

Answer: Though Cheryl has talked about going super-short with her hair (AKA a pixie cut), she prefers to keep it at least shoulder length. At that length, she can do a number of different styles, from up-dos to braids. About the shortest Cheryl has worn her hair is a bob cut. One thing Cheryl loves about longer hair is that it is easy. She loves to pull it up into a top knot and go. One of Cheryl's favorite tricks is to let a top knot do the work overnight. After washing her hair, she dries it upside-down. Then she uses a warming brush to pull it into the top knot. In the morning, she pulls it down and has wavy hair. Over the years, Cheryl has tried a number of different styles and colors. Of course, she's always going for that perfect look, but she's not afraid to try different things in the pursuit of it. Hair masks help rejuvenate your hair, keeping it from becoming damaged over time. Cheryl prefers to do hair masks at least twice a week. She claims if she doesn't, her hair looks much worse.  You can make a simple hair mask at home, probably from ingredients you already have. Mix 1 part coconut oil with 1 part honey (raw, if you have it). You'll likely only need about a tablespoon of each. You can substitute another oil, such as olive oil, if that's all you have.  Heat the ingredients quickly on the stove or in the microwave, being careful not to burn them. Make sure the mixture isn't too hot for your skin.  Wet your hair first. Rub the mixture into your hair in sections, starting from the top. Make sure you get the tips, as they usually have the most damage. When you've applied it all over your head, scoop your hair up in a bun, and let it sit for about half an hour before washing it out.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set up a right triangle model. Identify the known parts of the triangle. Set up a trigonometry equation. Solve for your unknown value. Interpret and report your result. Solve another problem for practice.

Answer:
Trigonometry functions can be used to model real world situations involving lengths and angles. The first step is to define the situation with a right triangle model. For example, suppose you have the following problem:  You are climbing a hill. You know that the peak of the hill is 500 meters above the base, and you know that the angle of the climb is 15 degrees. How far must you walk to reach the top? Sketch a right triangle and label the parts. The vertical leg is the height of the hill. The top of that leg represents the peak of the hill. The angled side of the triangle, the hypotenuse, is the climbing trail. When you have your sketch and have labeled the parts of it, you need to assign the values that you know.  On the problem of the hill, you are told that the vertical height is 500 meters. Mark the vertical leg of the triangle 500 m. You are told that the climbing angle is 15 degrees. This is the angle between the base (bottom leg) of the triangle and the hypotenuse. You are asked to find the distance of the climb, which is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Mark this unknown as x{\displaystyle x}. Review the information that you know and what you are trying to learn, and choose the trigonometry function that links those together. For example, the sine function links an angle, its opposite side and the hypotenuse. The cosine function links an angle, its adjacent side and the hypotenuse. The tangent function links the two legs without the hypotenuse.  In the problem with the hill climb, you should recognize that you know the base angle and the vertical height of the triangle, so this should let you know that you will be using the sine function. Set up the problem as follows:  sin⁡θ=oppositehypotenuse{\displaystyle \sin \theta ={\frac {\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}}} sin⁡15=500hypotenuse{\displaystyle \sin 15={\frac {500}{\text{hypotenuse}}}} Use basic algebraic manipulation to rearrange the equation to solve for the unknown value. You will then use either a table of trigonometric values or a calculator to find the value of the sine of the angle that you know. To find the length of the hill climb, solve the equation for the length of the hypotenuse.  sin⁡15=500hypotenuse{\displaystyle \sin 15={\frac {500}{\text{hypotenuse}}}} hypotenuse=500sin⁡15{\displaystyle {\text{hypotenuse}}={\frac {500}{\sin 15}}} hypotenuse=5000.259{\displaystyle {\text{hypotenuse}}={\frac {500}{0.259}}} hypotenuse=1930{\displaystyle {\text{hypotenuse}}=1930} With any word problem, getting a numerical answer is not the end of the solution. You need to report your answer in terms that make sense for the problem, using the proper units. For the hill problem, the solution of 1930 means that the length of the climb is 1930 meters. Consider one more problem, set up a diagram, and then solve for the unknown length.  Read the problem. Suppose a coal bed under your property is at a 12 degree angle and comes to the surface 6 kilometers away. How deep do you have to dig straight down to reach the coal under your property? Set up a diagram. This problem actually sets up an inverted right triangle. The horizontal base represents the ground level. The vertical leg represents the depth under your property, and the hypotenuse is the 12 degree angle that slopes down to the coal bed. Label the known and unknown values. You know that the horizontal leg is 6 kilometers (3.7 mi), and the angle measurement is 12 degrees. You want to solve the length of the vertical leg. Set up a trigonometry equation. In this case, the unknown value that you want to solve is the vertical leg, and you know the horizontal leg. The trigonometry function that uses the two legs is the tangent.  tan⁡θ=oppositeadjacent{\displaystyle \tan \theta ={\frac {\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}}} tan⁡12=opposite6{\displaystyle \tan 12={\frac {\text{opposite}}{6}}}   Solve for the unknown value.  opposite=tan⁡12∗6{\displaystyle {\text{opposite}}=\tan 12*6} opposite=0.213∗6{\displaystyle {\text{opposite}}=0.213*6} opposite=1.278{\displaystyle {\text{opposite}}=1.278}   Interpret your result. The lengths in this problem are in units of kilometers. Therefore, your answer is 1.278 kilometers (0.794 mi). The answer to the question is that you must dig 1.278 kilometers (0.794 mi) straight down to reach the coal bed.
