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!!
