I found it that writing a script is actually quite interesting, it's different from the story writing. it's as what be said in the reading we are "reseting on stereotypes". Yes! thats right. Everyone has their different point of view or concept or a certain thing and people.
Everytime when i'm redrafting I was like creating a character from my own experience, I added in something from a friend of mine to reconstruct the image and personality of the character. The style of script writing is more a vivid way to express the story and convey people's emotion than words. (my personal feeling) It's the straight forward descriptionsto of a person's pysical appearance/facial expression/actions etc., which offer the reader a more open imagination.
It's totally a new experience for me. I'm getting enojoy it. :)

Genre...
"Think about genre!"
Again!!!?? I almost yelled out when i read the email either david or paul sent to us.
-> This sentence doesn't mean to be offensive, just a few exclamation mark mixed with a bit question marks.
Exclamate that Wowoo! we have been discussing 'Genre' through out two courses, for one year, and now it's my third semester and second year to get back to it. From this point of view, genre must be a very very very important element in film.
Question that isn Genre sometimes comes a bit subjective?
I'm not saying that i know genre very much, or i can explain it thoroughtly, but i wish i could say it right.
Film genres are usually be categorized by three,
--> Setting: indicated by locations/background. (e.g.country/culture->Western, Eastern)
Mood: the emotions be carried through the film. (e.g. comedy/tragedy/thriller)
Format: the film be presented by the particular equipment or in a specific manner (e.g. animation)
-According to previous lectures and tutorial discussion, and a bit of my internet research.

would it works?
=Some adjustments and possible 'ending'=
Adjustment:
* Add in the homie image of Tom at the begining of the film, and to construct his obsession of downloading movie and crazy for the new youtube and online movie.
e.g.
* Tom sitting in fron of his lab top concentrately and can't-be-interrupt. Msn messenger's binbon sounds keeps buzzing, with the movie downloading window on the screen (of lab top).
* Tom's mobile rings, his friend asking him to go out for the movie "The Devil wears prada"
"Oh no no no! (dramatic facial expression ) Don't be silly! No one pay for 15 box to watch movie at cinema today, man! Watch downloads!!"
"But i prefer the atmosphere of cinema, though." friend A said.
"Come on, I don't want to waste my money on that. I would rather download the movie and watch it at home, You want a copy of that? I will download it right now."
"umm... alright then. Burn me one copy as well. thanks" friend A said.
Tom hang off the phone and his hand back to the mouse, click and search.
Screen (of lab top) shows theprocess of download.
========================================
Ending (will be put in after April turn her head towards the camera):
* Tom's mobile rings again, friend A called.
"Hey! have you burned me the movie yet? " said friend A
Tom picks up the phone, staring at the screen shocked,couldn't get back to self.
“Umm...“ "Umm... I think it's better to watch it at the cinema, isn it? eheheh..." (laughing bitterly and awkward)
"Alright, Tom. up to you then, you are such a changable guy." Friend A said.
fade in black, text on: "Life would be more happliy forever if you go to cinema!" OR "Let's go to cinema!"

Diane's comment of my concept
"What's your ending?"
"Mmmm...the ending is ...is there....its..when Tom saw April's 'home vedio' with another guy on youtube.." I said to myself in my mind.
"You have a opening, and you have a solid, concrete charater, but you don't have an ending. It seems like just cut off, right there"
"Mmmm..." "??"
"You have to get your story a ending." "End up the story, Joy!"
"Yes."
=======================================
To be honest, i wasn't sure what Diane means "no ending" at the begining. Because 'My Ending', which i thought that was my endng, and which i put in the end of the story doesn't seems to be a real ending for Diane.
Therefore, when she pointed out that, there were thousands of questions running in my mind,
"Didn't i have a ending?"
"umm.. i think i have a ending, so what did she mean i don't have a ending?"
"ummm...should i tell her that ..that is my ending, right there?"
"If thats not consider an ending, what should i add in after that ?"
"but i want to give the audience some space to think after the scene that april turns her head towards the camera, that's why i make it black out in the end and put on the text"
"Umm.. if it is not a ending, I have to think another ending then...um.... whats my ending..?"
After Diane's explaination, i finally understand that i should add in a real concrete/obvious ending, which subjective expresses my own idea of the whole story, so that audience would be able to grab the whole story.
Like what happend after Tom saw his girlfriend on yotube naked? Did Tom gets angry ? Will the break up with april?
Or he will pretend knowing nothing?
* A ending from my point of view.
Guess it would be better i thoroughly develope the charater's background and personality..etc before creating an ending, and then I shall be able to build up the whoe senario rationally. :)
Oh! got lots of stuff to do now!

MY concept
Genre: Drama/teen-movie.
The idea of this story is to show the dying situation of cinema industry today.
Main character: Tom, 20. He is an ordinary university student, who spends most of his time on browsing the net, watching Youtube and download movie. He is always the first guy who has watched the latest movie among his friends, and the one who didn’t watch movie at cinema in these two years. He enjoys the time watching onl He has a girlfriend, called April.
Location: Tom’s apartment
Opening Scene: Tom sitting in front of his lab top, watching youtube and chatting with friends on msn. (Couple’s picture on the desk, behind the labtop) Mobile (on his bed) rings Tom go to pick up the call and talk sweetly. Camera follows him and shows the room.
Tom downloads some hot movies before the bedtime as usual, which he prepares to watch next day.
The day after, he woke up and watched ‘Devil wears prada’, but it is an incomplete file, which in the end of the movie was partly disappeared. He started to search on the Youtube, trying to grab the ending of the movie on the net. He clicked on one of the clips on Youtube, and lean on the chair, about to enjoys his last piece of the movie.
Unfortunately, the clip wasn’t the original movie ‘Devil wears prada’, but a clip filmed by a couple. The girl walked out from the camera only with towel and red heels, and a guy’s voice from the side of the camera is checking the camera.
Tom frowned and hand back to the mouse, going to click on Stop buttom, and to download another file, the girl is taking off her towel and turning her head smile to the camera.
Tom shouted “F***”, April.
