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.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

 So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done.  I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

               The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the  ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
