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.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

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. Common sounds heard in romance movies are usually diegetic and non diegetic. For example, a musical that has romance incorporated into it includes singing and it helps exaggerate the feelings the characters may have.  Sometimes there may be a sou...
