 Pitch 1:

Four friends on a vacation trip, friend that plans the trip also plans to kill everyone attending. 

We would be able to do this movie because we already have a planned idea of where we can shoot our scenes and how everything would be set up. My group and I are familiar with movies with this kind of plot so we know how everything would play out. Some problems we would have with this movie is meeting up together at this location since we do not all live near it and because of our schedules outside of school. A second problem would be Florida weather, since some of our scenes are outdoors. We are currently leaning more towards this pitch. 

Pitch 2:

Four roommates notice an off presence in the home, call medium, are told that someone died in this house years ago and wants to kill anyone who stays in the home. 

This pitch was an option that seemed okay at first, but then after reviewing it with the group it was not something that was completely suitable for the entirety of the group. The props necessary would be very complicated to acquire both physically and economically. Moreover, the pros of using this pitch are, the difficulty level it grants. It would challenge us a lot, being that we are not professional filmmakers. Additionally, it would be hard to convey the message of having a ghost or an off presence in the room being that we don't have the same advanced editing resources as professional filmmakers do. 


WHICH ONE DID WE CHOOSE 

After discussing with the group, we decided to go with our first pitch. Which is "Four friends on vacation trip, friend plans the trip also plans to kill everyone attending." Doing this would be easier for us, with the tools that we have, the different locations we have access too, and the moderate editing education we have, to properly execute this idea. Also as previously said we have more experience with this type of genre to a movie, so we feel like we'd do a better job overall. This pitch will pitch us into getting our A on our final exam.

Short Film Research: Monday/ Comedy

Image
The short film "Monday" by Parable is a visually striking and emotionally powerful work that explores the theme of loss and grief. The film is an award winning film. It is known as "inspiring and funny". One of the key elements that contributes to the film's impact is the use of common sound, common mis-en-scene, and common editing techniques. In terms of sound, the film uses a number of common techniques to create a cohesive and immersive experience. For example, the film uses diegetic sound, which is sound that originates from within the film's world, to create a sense of realism and immersion. This includes the use of dialogue and ambient sounds, such as the sound of footsteps or traffic. The film also uses non-diegetic sound, which is sound that does not originate from within the film's world, to create a sense of mood and atmosphere. This includes the use of music and sound effects, such as the sound of a clock ticking or the sound of a phone ringi...

Comparing La Jetee and 12 Monkeys

Image
  Le Jetée is a black and white science fiction short film that was directed by Chris Marker in 1962. The film tells the story of a man who is subjected to experiments involving time travel after being imprisoned in a dystopian future society. Through the use of still images, the film explores themes of memory, identity, and the effects of trauma. 12 Monkeys, on the other hand, is a full-length feature film that was released in 1995 and directed by Terry Gilliam. Like Le Jetée, the film is based on the premise of time travel and explores themes of memory, identity, and the effects of trauma. However, 12 Monkeys expands upon these themes and adds additional plot elements, such as a dystopian future and a complex plot involving multiple characters and their interconnected stories. One key difference between the two films is their visual style. Le Jetée is a black and white film that primarily consists of still images, with only a few brief moments of movement. In contrast, 12 Monkeys...
