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.

Planning: Storyboard "Dear Mother"

A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home. The shot then moves on to the interior of the house. Roxy is shouted at by her mother about housework in the next scene, which is more focused on the performers' relationships. There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth. Her mother then goes to the bathroom in the next scene. Roxy receives a phone call from a friend, prompting Roxy to see her pal. The short film moves on to the next scene.This takes place in Emma's house, which is a friend of hers. They're in Emma's room, discussing Roxy's mother's treatment of her.

Research: How to Make a Short Film

     This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off. Another suggestion is to play with the audience's emotions and minds. The expert emphasizes that it is either all or nothing, and that nothing should be done halfheartedly. This reminds me of the phrase "Go large or go home," which means "Go big or go home."      The film expert explanation reminded me of this statement because it indicates it's all or nothing. Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...

Filming: Actors #1 & 2

 So during the whole filming process after we decided who would be doing what, it was decided that Nishayla  and I would be the main characters to deliver the effects of the message implied I filmed a part of the scenes which is when the other two group members Rohanna and Idline played the part of the bully for Nishayla Actor #1. During that scene I wasn’t in the film because I had to film that specific scene while we put to get her the set and scene.  My job was to make sure that Nishayla was set in place while Idline and Rohanna waiting for my call to start the scene. I gave ideas on how to show that bullying was taking place and it ended with the idea that the bag was to be gone through as as an invasion of privacy and tossed everywhere were the contents in the bag while leaving actor #1 to pick up her belongings or what remains of them on her own while she sits there sad and lonely. This gives off her signs of having depression and suicidal thoughts. The camera used ...
