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.

This stems from people getting bullied, being left out, or physical & emotional abuse. In this circumstance, we will be focusing on someone who is going through a rough patch in their life, and how it ultimately changes for the better. Hip hop music generally focuses on the teen bracket, and most people starting from ages of adolescence to their teen years experience suicidal thoughts and acts of self harm.
