Our Pitch


    For our final project, we had to come up with our own pitch for the film. Originally, we were going to do a coming of age movie where a normal teen goes to school with people who have disorders. They would arrive on their first day and notice that everyone is separated into groups depending on their disorders. The disorders would vary between eating disorders, bipolar, depression, anxiety, etc. No one would have more than one disorder.
     The normal teen would get bullied and would start off her day alone. As we began planning where would set our location and who would be in it we began to rethink the pitch. We realized the pitch wouldn't be the smartest idea because it may be insulting to people with disorders and it wouldn't be very interesting. However our next conversation on picking a new pitch went something like this , “ Maybe we could make it about two best friends and one of them was diagnosed with cancer at a young age but it was removed before it could spread but it came back and she ends up dying later on we can make it a dystopia”. We then decided to form a new pitch.
     Our new pitch ended up being about two best friends where one of them was diagnosed with leukemia at a young age and had it removed before it spread. The cancer comes back leaving both of them realizing they have to say goodbye soon. They would then decide to make a bucket list and have fun before the time comes. We believed this pitch would not only be exciting to make, but it will allow us to learn more about cancer. Coming up with our pitch wasn't a challenge.
     It was actually pretty fun combining ideas. Now we just move on from here and have to decide which of us want to film which scenes and how the props will be obtained. This is the time we will use for setting a filming time and schedule days for this specific time so we have the proper lighting we need. Editing was hectic a little last time so this time we want to ensure it is done properly. After we figured out what our pitch would be, we established that since we now know certain medical equipment may be needing what to start our pitch off with. Overall, now that the process is over we can move on to the next step.

Genre Research: Romance & Drama

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood. A close up shot is an example of camera angles that are seen in films.  It allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language.

Production Blog: Spring Break is Over

      So we are back from spring break today and everything is in order. Although, we did not film and we did not communicate over the break. I could have predicted that but in that time I did text one group member Nishayla and she was talking to me about an idea she had about changing a scene by the pond I'm not to sure what is was about I don't really remember. However, if any changes are to be made then everything will be adjusted so everything aligns properly. That is if she decides to bring it up to the group.       We decided to do icebreakers have discussed our grades and how our break was before getting to the hard work.  In doing so, we came to agreement that things over the break cleared up and the break gave us time to organize our lives to get everything in order. Fortunately we now have clear schedules allowing us time to film. Unfortunately though in the last minute I did happen to misplace my camera and I eventually will find i...
