Pitch one, pitch two!

-

 Pitch 1: A girl keeps making new friends, little do they know she holds a big secret. 

Pitch 2: A man moves to a small town, and starts a new job at the local police station.

Pitch 1 is a practical choice for our group. We have access to the said friends that would be needed to film. Also there is more wiggle room for the first pitch because the secret isn't revealed yet. There are many pros to this pitch but there are a few cons. The pitch can appear to be generic at first glance. We would not want to have a movie that follows a very basic storyline. But we can trust with our group that this movie would not follow the typical movie conventions. 

Pitch 2 is also a reasonable choice for our group. One of our group members lives in a small town, so the setting is ideal. However, there are some cons in this pitch, including the fact that the character is a police officer, and there is a chance we could misrepresent the police force. We would not want to offend anyone with our movie. We also don't have access to a police station, nor police uniforms. Also our main character would be a man, and we are all women. It might be difficult to find a man to play the part. 

We ended up choosing pitch 1: A girl keeps making new friends, little do they know she holds a big secret. 5 Tips for Elevator Pitches That Pack a Punch | RingCentral

Critical Reflection

  “Time For Dinner” the short film portrays imagination through a young child's eyes. Toys may just look like plastic things with no life to them to us now, but we did not always think that way. Adults once too would sit for hours at a time playing with those ‘plastic things’. Somehow, our brain was able to create a whole new world with characters we created, and sometimes we would forget the real world for a second. It seems as though no one truly recognizes or appreciates imagination, and that is exactly what I wanted to show with this short film.  My movie represents children's imagination and how things children see in everyday life can affect their mind. Society has become a scary world to live in and sometimes it is hard to shield the young generation from it. A parent could innocently be watching the news and a storyline of a dangerous crime can come on while their child is near. This new concept of crimes like theft, killing, and other things can cause a child to thi...

  CAMS:  There is no music video for our song choice, Are we still friends by Tyler The Creator, so we looked at his othe songs to do our research. We noticed a lot of usage of tracking shots. A character would be seen traveling from place to place. Also, the camera would pan across the landscape to show establishing shots a lot. There are also a lot of close ups and POV shots.  CLAMPS: The costumes are regular attire for the most part, nothing exactly special. Lighting depends on the scene, but a lot of his videos have an outside setting . As far as acting, we can see real emotion in all of the actors' facial expressions. The music is obviously the song in the background. Props used a lot were phones, food, and cars. The setting was generally outside, with a lot of nature, or inside with low depressing lighting because most of his songs are on the sad side.  SOUND: The sound is the song in the background, there are a decent amount of beat drops in Tyler The Creator'...

      For my group project some may say I got lucky. I get to work with my three other friends. This may not seem like the best idea but i know they are smart hardworking individuals. I will start with myself and my task in this project. I said in my intro that I have some talent in the artistry department so that will be my job. For the story board it is important that is is easy to understand with well drawn pictures.      S econd we have Mila, I met mila last year and which is surprising because of everything with COVID. she has a very intelligent mind and a good creative eye. this means she is our editor. When we need something taken out, special effects, sound effects etc we've got our handy dandy mila.                                                                ...
