Bird by Pablo Neruda



Poem:
It was passed from one bird to another, 
the whole gift of the day. 
The day went from flute to flute, 
went dressed in vegetation, 
in flights which opened a tunnel 
through the wind would pass 
to where birds were breaking open 
the dense blue air - 
and there, night came in. 

When I returned from so many journeys, 
I stayed suspended and green 
between sun and geography - 
I saw how wings worked, 
how perfumes are transmitted 
by feathery telegraph, 
and from above I saw the path, 
the springs and the roof tiles, 
the fishermen at their trades, 
the trousers of the foam; 
I saw it all from my green sky. 
I had no more alphabet 
than the swallows in their courses, 
the tiny, shining water 
of the small bird on fire 
which dances out of the pollen.

Visualization:

1st shot: A low angle, plus a wide shot, frames a big, blue, sunny sky full of birds, flying through the wind, that sounds like a flute
2nd shot: The camera make a high angle above a flying bird. In that position, it can be seen a large forest full of vegetation
3rd shot: Zoom in a mountain. Suddenly the camera passes the mountain, and left a great full moon. Pan out to bird flying beyond earth and the clouds
4th shot: Extreme close up, to the wing of the bird, emplosizing on his feather
5th shot: The camera moves to one eye of the bird ( still with the extreme close up) and it goes deeper on it. Then the camera shows a wide shot of the earth showing a path that drives to a little town, there they can see the house's roofs
6th: The camera make an extreme close up again to the bird, and then pan out to show a wide shot, plus a dutch angle, of the landscape

News draft

Thanks studio, and yes the "King Arthur" is choosing his kingdom, and no one knows where he is going to be this next season.
Until now Arturo Vidal, is the midfielder of Juventus, where he won 3 times the italian calcio. Also with his excellent participation on the Chilean team, was more than enough to have the attention of the greatest teams in Europe, especially Man Udt who according to what his DT, Louis Van Gaal needs, they want without excuse the chilean player. 
But that is not easy work because, Juventus knowing that Man Udt is willing to pay £47m, does not want to sell Vidal, but they accepted that if he doesn't show an intention to leave, they wont sell him. Also Allegri DT of Juventus, declared that Vidal will stay in the club and they are happy with that, but recently international reports say that Vidal has a verbal agreement  with the Red Devils Team
It seems that this year, with the arrival of Alexis Sanchez on Arsenal, and the imminent sign of Vidal on Man Udt, we will have a Premier League with a lot of chileans, but this is something that only the time will tell us.
Thank you very much

Piece of News: Where is going to play this next season, the 'King Arthur'?



Juventus or Man Udt?



1.- What is your piece of news about?
My piece of news is about where the football player Arturo Vidal is going to be this next season 2014-2015. Many international journalists say that he is going to stay at Juventus, but Manchester United is willing to pay as much as they can, to have the 'King Arthur' in his team. Whatever all what we all now is that were he is going to play is a mistery
3A.- Write down a summary of each of those sources (2 to 3 lines)

According to the UK news station, Louis Van Gaal (DT of Man Utd) wants the chilean midfielder player without excuse, and that is why Man Utd. offers £47m to have him in his team the player who can be the top sign in the football club. But Juventus who is agree with the offer of Man Utd, is convinced that he is going to stay at Italy, and that if they sold him, if because he ask to do it

3B.- Take note of 2 or 3 comments made by one of the people involved in the the sources you chose. Write the name of the person who said that. 
a)Allegri DT of Juventus said "Vidal will stay here and he's very happy about this, I spoke with him about his fitness, we're happy he will stay with us"
b) Juventus: "(...)If he doesn't show an intention to leave, our position won't change."
c) Express.co.uk News: According to reports in Chile, the World Cup star has verbally agreed to join United.

The idea is that in your own News Report you are able to refer to those comments by using reported speech.
4.- Put together 3 ideas that you would like to include in your own news report.
a) Manchester want Vidal without excuse, willing to pay as much Juventus want
b) Juventus dont want to sell the chilean player, but with the £47m of Man Udt, the only thing that separes Vidal of Old Stratford is his own agreement 
c) Today off is a mistery the team that "King Arthur" will defend on this new season, but some reports around the world says that Vidal has a "verbally agreed" with the Red Devils Team
5.- Get ready to prepare your own news report and upload the previous information on your website.

After the famous scene of the movie Gladiator had been going on, Commodus see Maximus going out the arena, with a imprudence actitude.
Instead of kill him or something else, the Emperor of Rome let him live another day, but not without felling insulted of what just happend, because he was humiliated by a ordinary gladiator, a simple slave. At this point of the movie, the Emperor of Rome take his way to see one of his advisers, to talk about what just happened and what to do next. This is a extract from the movie climax

Dragging his cape and his ego on the ground, Commodus travel the corridors of the Coliseum on his way to go out of it. When he was at the streets of Rome, he knew what to do next, go to the house of his adviser, to tell him what just happened.
COMMUDUS: How this can happened? They told me that he was dead! And I let him alive...it is a mistake to kill him with all that crowd that love him, what can happened if the Emperor kill an innocent in front of his eyes with no reason?! But we have to do something, if I give him time, he probably kill him or something worse
ADVISER: Is a mistake to kill him in that way, because is a dishonorable attitude
He make a pause, like he was thinking in something and then he say
ADVISER: But there is one way...what if you ask him for a duel? You can say that you want to fight with the best gladiator of all Rome because is a honor to do it. There you can kill him, is simple
COMMUDUS: But how, he will kill ME
ADVISER: You are the Emperor, you can have some benefit...a silent stab at his back and...
COMMUDUS: And i will kill him easily in the arena, brilliant
After that scene, the plan began, and a final battle started in the arena of the Coliseum, with our hero, the Gladiator Maximus, with the Emperor of Rome Commudus
