Our Pitch

Pitch 1.
A groom sets out to track down a bounty hunter after his bride is killed at the altar. 

Pitch 1.
Three siblings come home from school to find their beloved foster mother missing.

The reason we came up with these two pitches is that we decided that we wanted a thriller or mystery. The first pitch was just a random idea that came up while brainstorming. Since we wanted a thriller or mystery, it was a little harder to think of any other idea that didn't involve those two genres. Those genres made it easier for us because we thought they may have caught the viewers' attention better. We wanted the two minutes we were going to film to have an element of mystery. We wanted the viewers to be able to create their own scenarios based on what they've seen. Ultimately, we chose the second pitch, where the kids came home to their missing mother because it was the most convenient for the three of us. we wouldn't have to spend much money on things like costuming and props. Also, because of the pandemic going on right now, it made sense to choose the second pitch over the first one. For the first pitch, we would have to find a location for the wedding setting. We didn't want to have to go out where there were too many people. However, with the second pitch, we would be in a more controlled setting. The first pitch would also require a lot more people in one area. Since the scene was meant to take place at the wedding, we would have to find people to play as the wedding guests. We didn't want to have to rely on too many people to show up on the dates we would film, so we concluded that fewer people were better. We actually forgot that we were supposed to have two pitches. We were trying to figure out how to make the first pitch work for all three of us until we realized that we could have a second option. We immediately started brainstorming more ideas. When we figured that we could just do something that didn't involve too many people, we started considering what setting would be best to film in. That's when we came upon our second pitch.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

  I started filming this blog on Friday, October 30th, 2020 when my mother and I went out. I figured that since we were taking the car, I could use that chance to film some of the interior features of the car that would be showcased. Because I needed my dad for most of the other shots, I waited till the weekend to continue the filming. That Sunday, on the 31st, I didn't have the chance to go out so I decided to film the 360 view of the car that would be used in the opening of the commercial. I used a long shot to show the entirety of the car exterior. I also filmed the scene that would come after the opening on that day. This scene was of my father putting a few things into the trunk of the car. On Sunday, my dad and I took a trip to the store. This was the perfect opportunity to film him getting into and starting the car. I used a mid-shot to a long shot for this scene because this shot was mainly just to introduce the car features and the whole body of the car didn't need to

Title Research: Glass

Art of the Title The opening sequence shows the production company in charge of the film. It shows the company that works with distributing the movie. Then it shows the title of the film. The film then starts to show the actors playing in the movie. The sequence then starts to name the people who helped cast the film, as well as the director. It showed who was in charge of music, costuming, editing, photography, then the producers.  The opening sequence starts off with a recap. this film is a sequel, so it begins by introducing the main character of the original. Later on, it introduces some of the other characters. It builds the moment by showing background events that lead to the appearance of the next potential main character.  The first clip of the man speaking to the girls can allow us to assume that the man has some sort of psychological disorder. The way he is acting all calm and friendly in this situation tells us that whatever his issue is will be part of the main plot. The sc

Genre Research: Final Choice

  Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s meant
