DOS Chapter of the Week (CHOW) Sign-up for October 2014! Can't Post



Chapter of the Week (CHOW) is an ongoing discussion on The Hobbit movies. This time around, we need five volunteers! The weeks and chapters that need leaders are as follows:

20. Weekend of October 10th - The Home Of Bard Noria
01:13:11 - 01:19:14

21. Weekend of October 17th - "It Is Our Fight" DwellerInDale
01:19:14 - 01:20:48

22. Weekend of October 24th - The Prophecy FaramirAndEowynMorningStar
01:20:48 - 01:23:12

23. Weekend of October 31st - A Warm Welcome
01:23:12 - 01:27:09

24. Weekend of November 7th - The Lonely Mountain Faleel
01:27:09 - 01:30:45

We will request to sticky the thread once we have all spaces filled and have updated the list above. To avoid any confusion, the approximate start and end times are given. Each host will make one thread each week on their chosen film chapter (ideally during the weekend - anytime between Friday to Sunday inclusive).

Please do not post a CHOW thread unless you have already signed up, or notified cats16 or DanielLB first. We will return to the extended edition of the film in the future. In the meantime, all chapter titles refer to the theatrical version only.

Volunteers choose their chapter on a first-come-first-serve basis, so get in there quickly if you want to host a particular chapter. If you have already hosted a CHOW, you are more than welcome to volunteer again, but be sure to give everyone an opportunity to host first. Just respond to this thread with which chapter you would like to host. If you miss this sign-up, don't worry! There are plenty of chapters left. If in doubt which chapter is which, consult your DVD (hopefully you own it, or PM either cats16 or DanielLB.)

Each person will be assigned a DVD chapter, seen above. For your chosen chapter, we will leave the discussion up to you! It really is an open book, so we don't want to restrict anyone. Some suggestions might be:

- The use of CGI in the scene (or even HFR, if you can remember what it was like)
- The score and the soundtrack
- The props, sets and landscapes in the scene
- The costumes we see in the film
- The actors and acting
- General scene setups
- Differences from book
- A comparison with animated film
- A comparison with The Lord of the Rings films

You can ask as little or as many questions as you like. Have fun, and enjoy!

You can also choose screencaps for your part, and we recommend this website. Magpie has provided an excellent tutorial in image posting on TORn that can be found here. Please also make sure all screencaps stay within TORn's Term of Service (see 2.20).

When posting your thread, please include "Chapter of the Week: [Insert Chapter Title Here]", so that they are easy to find on a rather fast moving board.

We hope you enjoy all the discussions.

Smile

Something I just realized... [In reply to] Can't Post

We've actually been nearly on pace with Thorin & Co. in the book, lately.

As per gramma's TIME posts, today is the day they prepare to leave Lake-town. We're not far off! (Although I think we're about to quickly fall behind this month. Angelic)

..The Lord of Silver Fountains
.....The King of Carven Stone
..The King Under the Mountain
.......Shall come into his own

..And the bells will ring in gladness

Of course! [In reply to] Can't Post

'The Prophecy' is yours (hope that doesn't sound too foreboding Tongue).

Nice seeing you around, MorningStar!

I'd be interested but with this caveat: [In reply to] Can't Post

Monday is Thanksgiving Day here in Canada and I'm going to be pretty busy from today until Monday. I'm pretty sure that I can pull together some questions today, possibly even with images, but I can't promise to respond to any posts before Monday at least.

If that is enough, I'm in. Please just let me know.

Indeed. Nice to see you again (after so long). I go on adventures too much and can never seem to have time to get back home to this wonderful forum. Tongue

FYI: New Sign-up Thread is Imminent. [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi all,

A sign-up thread for the final CHOWs for 2014 is coming shortly. Once again, the host for this coming weekend will have limited prep time (apologies for this; RL delays many things Cool).

Keep your eyes at the ready, should you wish to get one more in before the year closes. Don't hesitate (even veterans)--people are fleeing the Hobbit board by the day due to spoilers, so don't be shy this time around. Smile
