What's the Pitch??!!


 So my partner Ronneka and I decided that we needed to figure out a pitch but I knew I wanted it to be action filled and dramatic. So I came up with three different pitches: 

     The first pitch is about a verbally abusive and toxic mother who mistreats her daughter that looks to her friends for emotional support throughout the abuse.  
 
The second pitch was about a girl who's parents died in a car crash and was raised by her older male cousin who was physically abusive toward her and negligent to the victim.

 The third pitch I came up with was about 3 kids who had to be raised by their older siblings since their mother was always working and left them home alone putting a strain on the relationship of the mother and the kids.

    After discussing each pitch topic with one another, I decided on the first pitch. The first reason being that it is easier to display verbal abuse over physical abuse. The second reason being that this pitch is also more relatable and common for teenage girls. The third reason being that when it comes time to choose our cast we ourselves can be the main characters seeing as we are both girls and finally this pitch has a more focused plot allowing for each individual to receive a decent amount of screen time without the hassle of needing to focus to much on maintaining the topic of the plot.
    The Final Pitch: I decided our pitch would be about a verbally abusive and toxic mother who mistreats her daughter that looks to her friends for emotional support. 
Now that I have our plot settled I can't wait for the next step, stay tuned for the next update until next time everyone!!

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 ...

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. 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...
