It is said that life imitates art, and sometimes that art inspires people in what they want to do with their lives. A song could inspire you to become a musician or a singer. A painting could inspire you to start painting or drawing. A TV show could inspire you to become a doctor or lawyer.

Entertainment and art does inspire people to do many things, from creating their own to becoming trained in something they saw their favorite actor do in their latest television show. If you have a passion for legal dramas, you may find yourself inspired to become a lawyer, or maybe a judge. Here are a few legal dramas that are sure to make you think about going to college and hitting the books.

Law & Order

Whether you want to help people who have been hurt by their loved ones, raped, or you want to help the families of people that have been murdered, Law & Order has a show for you. In fact, there are seven incarnations of the Law & Order franchise.

In case you haven’t been keeping up since the first Law & Order aired way back in 1990, its popularity has bred many spin offs with great actors, like Ice-T. Spin offs include Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Law & Order: LA, Law & Order: True Crime, and Law & Order: You the Jury. They mostly pull their cases straight from the headline, and you get a chance to see what happens behind the scenes when a crime is committed.

The Good Wife

The Good Wife is an extremely popular television show right now, maybe because of the acting or simply because of the storyline. Julianna Margulies plays the good wife of a former state attorney that finds himself in prison after a sex and corruption scandal. She has to go back to work to provide for her family, and works as a litigator for a law firm.

One of the reasons this show is so popular is that it spends a good deal of time in the courtroom with the main characters. You get to see what it is like to work in a law firm, and maybe find that it looks like something you’d enjoy. The other reason it’s popular is because people love the actors, and they keep the stories fresh and interesting.

If you’ve been considering getting into law, take some time to binge watch some great legal dramas like these, or even look up some of the popular legal based movies. There are plenty of them. You’ll get a chance to get an idea what that world is like, and determine if it’s really what you want to do!

Steps You Need to Take If You Want to Make A Film

Film is one of frontrunners for entertainment in society today. Television itself has only been around since 1925. If you think about that, it’s been less than a hundred years and the world has completely been transformed by a little box that is able to broadcast information to the world in an instant. It’s really a marvelous invention.

For anybody who wants to be a filmmaker today, it’s not an easy line of work to be in, but it’s a line of work that can have major payoff if you’re able to secure the funds and make the money back once the film has been released. Making the money back is much harder than you would think. Many independent films will only make back a fraction of what it cost them to put together the film. If you’re undaunted by this statistic, you might have the savvy it takes to make it in this world. Here are some other steps you need to take if you want to make a film:

Develop A Vision

To carry any project through, it’s crucial that a vision is developed so that there can be a cohesive end product. A vision also helps things to stay on track and helps with the financials and other logistics of a project. If you don’t know what you want to make, it sets you up for an uninspired, challenging time.

Take your time looking for a project journey that is one that you want to embark on. Once you’ve grasped onto something that you believe needs to be made into a film, develop that into a fully fledged, operable vision by looking at this.

Establish Backers

Developing a vision is often the easy part. Once you know what you’re doing and you believe that it’s worth doing, you then have to go on to convince others of that. These people are often people who have no interest in why you’re working on the project, they’re just investors who have made their money by investing in things that they’re sure they’re going to make a return on. You’re going to have to establish backers by convincing them that your film will succeed. If it’s not about the money, you might have a hard time, but it doesn’t mean your art isn’t worth making anyway.

Cast the Talent

Casting talent can either be one of the last steps in making a film, or it can be one of the first. If you’re looking for star power and they’re the name selling the show, they will be the first thing you secure before all else, if you’re just making a film for the sake of a film, you’ll want to have a team established so that you can then go on and find the talent that is going to make your film come to life.

Reasons More Films Need to Portray The Power of Art in Children’s Lives

By

School systems around the world are constantly debating about the value of art in the lives of children around the globe. When there is only so much funding in a school system, is it really pertinent that the money go to funding things like the arts in school? Where lies the value in that if the advancement of the world is based on advancements in technology, math, science, and things of the like?

Art is Being Defunded in School

It’s a very sad reality to come to terms with. School systems are being faced with the defunding of arts programs in massive ways and it’s taking a toll on everybody more than the people doing the defunding would like to believe. Art is powerful. In school, it provides an outlet for students to express themselves. It teaches them to cope, to be problem solvers, it develops their brain to be able to do many things at once, and it ultimately makes them better at things like math and science. [Read more…]
