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!!

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, ...
