Our Pitch

Hello, t he following are pitches my friends and I have come up with for the upcoming short film we are making in which I will be the lead actor.   Pitch A: "A high school girl goes to get snacks at a corner store to get some snacks, but who's watching?" Pitch B: "A professional soccer player joins a new team, but the coach is nothing like he expected." Yes?No?-(Pitch A):  As the lead actor of our upcoming short film, I am thrilled to share a pitch for the intense narrative that will unfold in our possible project , "In the Shadows." The story revolves around a 16-year-old high school girl, portrayed by our friend Sarah, who embarks on a seemingly ordinary trip to a corner store for snacks. The atmosphere quickly takes a chilling turn as Sarah's character becomes the unsuspecting target of a sinister kidnapper, played by me, Brayden, her real-life close friend.

Editing Mess-up: Vertical vs. Horizontal

 Hey, blog!  Film-making requires exacting attention to detail and a combination of technical skill and imagination. Our group recently had a setback in our endeavor to create a five-minute video, which taught us important lessons about how important it is to follow good film-making practices.

It confused scenes and broke the flow of the story. The sudden changes in frames created the illusion of an incomplete rather than well-executed piece of work. We weren't happy with the result because the choppiness didn't go away even after we tried t...

Our Plan

 In order to take the next steps for our music video, our group has started a discussion in terms of production. Our group decided on the song “All Want for christmas" by Mariah Carey. We want to really nail the Christmas theme on this video, at least to the best of our ability. Living in a tropical state like Florida means we will more than likely not be including snow in our video. In terms of props we plan on using Christmas stockings, Jingle bells, missile toes and Christmas theme socks and shirts. Due to the nature of our music video, our group will have to go to multiple filming locations. Our central filming location will be done at Las Olas. Having the filming location done at las Olas is a great idea because we feel it perfectly encapsulates a south Florida Christmas. All the components are there, the beach, the amount of decreation and people and the spirit the city brings. Our secondary filming location will be galleria mall. We plan on getting a shot with the mall Sant...
