I think this story is great, but in my version of dangle I started my opening with Jennifer shouting at Jason. Every night Jason would have a dream, it would be a horrible one, and that horrible dream would become true, Jason is a school boy who was the 1 who pulled the rope. So that night Jason had a dream that Jennifer told school boys to rob him.
In my version of Dangle he wasn’t in the middle of no where, he was walking to the shop to buy some bread but then he saw the rope.
I like it when the man saw the light swinging up in the sky.he pulled it and it went dark and when he pulled it it went day time so he playing with it by pulling it and pulling but the light did t work so the man run away . By yaw
The diffrence beteewn Dangle and my version of the film is that in my story he resolves it by going to st james park and turning the light on .In the film he breaks the chord and lights go on and and the police came and people were shouting.The thing that was the same in both of them is that they both run when the police come.;)
The difference between my version and his version is that he has interesting effects about the story and I don’t really have much detail in my story. What I like about the story, is that he is asking questions to people and I got it in my story (which we had for homework).
In class we watched the film. In my story it was different. When I said he was watching the tv. And the Police came and got him.And said why did he pulled it what happen at first and at the end I said he is going to stay there.
my story ended with cars not airplans. It was slmiler to my story because my one had the same ending and the same opening.

I think this story is really cool but when I changed it in the end there was a resolution and they did fix the rope but I think this story is better because I was left in suspense.
The difference between my version of the film and the film itself is, when the man pulls the rope because I thought that people wanted to know more about him so, they set a trap but the idea came from him and his friend lying in the park.
His one and my one are different because in my one there are three paths but in his one he only had one path.
The diffrents about my story and his story is that in his story he did not fix the rope and in my story the rope got fixed.
The simillarities between my story and Phil’s version is that in my story the rope is hanging, it’s like the sun’s light switch. Also the man is supposed to go on an ordinary stoll just like mine he wasn’t ment to meet anything strange on this stroll.
I like both of the films but I think my film is better because of the party at the end although the real Dangle film was good I still think mine is better.

The difference between my story and Dangles story
Is that it gets fixed and in this story the rope falls down and the man walked away.
What I found out about the story dangle was that the rope wasn’t actually hanging from the sky, it was hanging from a crane and then they just rubbed out the cvrane too make the special effect.
Mr Sloan you know the film we watched in class on the ending it didn’t have the helicopter and everythink was similer espect from the helicopter.
My film is the same, like the Dangle film, but my one at the end is when the man sees aliens and the aliens have a party with him.

In my version of this story the man runs and trips on a rock then finds a teleporter, then he uses the teleporter to travel back in time so the city is not stuck at night time.
In Phil’s story (Director of dangle) the city is stuck at night time and the man runs away from the rope and different people shout at him.
What I also found out was that at the ending of this story a helicopter arrives and tries to find the man.
At the end he wanted to make us know what will happen next.
In my version the rope was hanging from the gates of heaven.
one of the similarities is that the rope stayed broken.
This story was intresting even if it didn’t have any dialogue. But in my version he dosen’t get in trouble because he fixed the light.
The difference between my story to phil’s story is my setting is in the city near tesco and Phil’s story is set in the countryside near a hill also mine story has dialogue and has 2 characters and Phil has no speech and only 1 character.
