Our Pitch Blog

 Hi, my classmates and I have finally decided on our pitches. It wasn't easy coming up with good ones & our original idea wouldn't have worked so the following are the few we could pull of in order of most likely to be done to least likely.

A person struggling with bills and family, loses their life to gambling.

We decided on this pitch in class while playing cards discussing ideas. We thought it would be nice to use what's in our life and create a story about it. We currently want to stick with a drama and thought of this. We all agreed on it immediately and decided to go with it. We started planning possible shots that we could use for the opening sequence and came up with plans to show our story in three minutes. 

Our second pitch was one that was originally discarded because of how hard it would be to get a location for it so we decided to change the conflict in the story. It goes as following:

A man runs from a stranger to find out it's himself.

The idea came from Danniella who wanted to show a self-conflict as a story. We originally wanted to do a "dream world" where they would enter it and find a way to escape with instructions but because trying to find a location with an intercom would be harder. So by showing a self-conflict in the head we can have a free range of locations by making it an "important" place in the characters life. 

Our final pitch is pretty broad, but we're hoping to add to it eventually.

A teenage kid struggles to find their identity.

While we don't entirely know what road we'll take with this blog we hope we don't have to use it and that our main one will work. We kept this one broad with the hopes that if it ever comes to using it we can change what we mean by identity. Whether it be a case of severe memory loss or a teenager trying to find their place in the world.

 Hi, my names Anya Lucas. I am so excited to have made it to the next level in this class! Just in case you don't remember I'm here to tell you a little about me a lot has changed. For starters I am a Junior now and I'm very excited about that. Some of my hobbies are track and doing hair, I spent the whole summer perfecting my craft in both. I love movies! That's what makes this class so interesting. Learning about how films are made and the work that goes behind it is just so satisfying to me. The type of movies I tend to watch are action, romantic and comedy. Although I don't read very often my love for movies also ties to my love for books. I tend to read books that are most likely based on real life. I'm a very enthusiastic person and I feel as if this class helped me bring my enthusiasm out into my creativity. I also try my very best at EVERYTHING  that I do. Last year I learned a lot of new skills that I'm so excited to include in my project this year....

Editing Blog- The finale !!

Image
 Hey guys, today is the last day we have to complete any last minute changes. As you guys know we are basically done !! We only have one more day until our deadline. We decided to do one more overview of our film. Though it wasn’t much wrong we decided to adjust the ending. The ending was a bit shaky. It ended kind of rough because of the way the camera was shut off. We usually filmed more than one time of the same scene. We just happened to not have done that this time. To cut off some of the shakiness at the end we decided to add another clip of the same scene from a different angle. By doing this we hoped to not lengthen out the actual time of minute 5 but the actual duration of the scene. We used angels computer of course to edit. This kind of helped with the shaking at the end. It eliminated the very end of where you would of saw the camera being actually shut off. We know the film isn’t supposed to be a 5 star film but that was just bothersome. After doing that we watched the...

Editing blog-Adding music to our film

Image
 Hey guys, today we added music to our film. As I stated in the last blog we were not trying to rush the editing process. As we learnt last year the music has to be non copyrighted. Well to find our music that we used we just went on youtube. We each went our separate ways to find a sound and then came together with a conclusion. For the actual editing we just used angels laptop. Finding a suspenseful sound is not hard. Finding the right suspenseful sound can be tho. We didn’t want the same suspenseful sounds that you usually here in almost every thriller. We wanted something different. Something we could call out own. We sat down and went through youtube until we found the right sounds. We used two different sounds and made it into one to add suspense. One sound has more bass than the other really creating that feeling. Our whole purpose of doing this was to mimic what you usually  see in movies but with a twist.  There is not sound all throughout our film. The sound is ...
