My Pitch

 


Pitch #1- In this romantic comedy, an unusual love sparks between a heartbroken man with a traumatic past involving unfortunate encounters with multiple animals, and an animal lover surrounded with her lovely pets.

Pitch #2- In this thriller film, you will follow the journey of a young girl fighting to get out of danger and safely return the loving arms of the last of her family.

I chose to stay away from the science fiction and supernatural themed films since they would be harder to portray. Action, adventure, and romance seemed like the best choice for a student film on a budget. The inspiration for the first pitch came from my brother who is currently in a relationship. After unfortunately seeing the couple display affection towards each other I was inspired to do a romantic comedy using them both as my actors. For comedic effect, I decided to feature my dog in the film as well. I wanted to show the irony of a grown man having a fear of what an average person would see as a cute tiny puppy. I’ve always used my dog in my videos throughout the year and felt it would be best to keep the tradition going. I am fortunate enough to live with multiple animals and felt it would be best to utilize all resources since we’ve all been so restricted in the past year. A romantic comedy is something that fits my situation and personality best and it won’t be a challenge for me to portray in a film. There was no particular inspiration for pitch # 2 other than my experience in viewing other films. A thriller is something easily understandable, as it has keys and components that allow the audience to pick up on the situation displayed. The film would be a representation of individualism and strength and would also bring awareness to the issues we face in modern day. Women are typically depicted as damsel in distress in thriller themed films, so going against that my film would show a girl saving herself and not being dependent on someone else. While both ideas have pros and cons to each, pitch #1 carries more advantages. Pitch 1 is more workable with my environment. My neighborhood is something that would be displayed in a bright film and wouldn’t be best to represent suspense. A big part of the thriller would also be actors and their facial expressions, as there is less dialogue and more contextualized situations. The audience can learn a lot form the sounds and facial expressions of the actors in thrillers and unfortunately, I don’t know anyone who can control their face in a detailed way that tells the story. For my final project I plan to portray a romantic comedy, where an unusual love sparks between a heartbroken man with a traumatic past involving an unfortunate encounter with multiple animals and an animal lover who adores her pets like her very own children.

Research Blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
                                                   In general, music videos contain multiple components that deliver the lyrics of the song through a visual outlook. Common conventions in a music video are long shots, close ups, and mid shots. Close ups are most common out of the three, as it is the clearest way to deliver the emotions of a character in a music video as well as to help the audience understand the plot of the video better. Since this is a music video there will be a lack of dialogue and therefore a lack of context, which will have to be made up for through the facial expressions and actions of those in the video which can be best captured through close ups. Not all music videos tell a story but regardless, close up shots remain very common. Tilts, tracking, and pans are among the many camera movements that can be found in a music video.  ...

Planning for my Music Video

Image
                                         Since the song I chose falls into the romance category for music, I will be using two individuals to display a struggling love. I plan to use my dog Faye and my cousin’s hamster Kevin. The song I chose is called tyl by Kakie. The song discusses struggling young lovers, with one party filled with hope to make the relationship work but faced with the constant disappointment provided by the other party. She describes a hope for easy young love is while simultaneously facing the reality that it is not possible, at least not anymore.     Location Due to limited locations caused by our current situation, I only plan to film in a few places. I will film in neutral areas of my house (in front of a wall/couch), at the beach, and there'll be a few shots outside (sidewalk or grassy area). I will have a space set up that will be covered ...

Planning Storyboard for my Mr. Split Bananas commercial

Image
Scene 1- For the 1st scene I wanted to establish a common scenario of an everyday person. I will shoot a person in regular clothes sitting on a couch occupied with their phone, before craving a snack and reaching for a banana from the bowl set on the table in front of them. I utilized the Filming Technique of Alfred Hitchcock; Information to create suspense. The audience was aware of the Banana stealer lurking in the back, but the character was not. These scenes established suspense to lead up to the conflict in the next scene.   Scene 2- Scene 2 is where the conflict begins. The banana stealer jumps out of hiding and steals the banana before running out of the house.   Scene 3- The character will be in distress over the crime that occurred in her living room. Pleading for help Mr. Split hears her cries and appears to her rescue. He reassures her that everything will be alright then takes off into a sprint after the thief.   Scene 4- The chasing sequence will ...
