Pitch Perfect


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. 

Pitch 3:

A teenage girl who gets addicted to drugs doesn't pay her dealer back and she gets in trouble with the biggest cartel in South America. 

We would be able to film this movie because we would be able to give it the beginning, middle, and end that it needs. My partners and I already know what location we would use and how we would have the movie come out. We can envision how everything would play out and how the script would go. This is also an easier plan because we  no longer have to rely on one person to take us somewhere because 2/3 team members now have cars. We are leaning more towards this pitch. 

WHICH ONE DID WE CHOOSE:

We chose the third option because the odds are all in our favor! We already have a location, forms of transportation, and we already have an idea for a script. We discussed this pitch thoroughly and unanimously decided on this one. We are looking forward to starting this new chapter in the year! We are extremely excited to work on a longer movie and we think we'll do a good job.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  The first film was produced in 2005 and is a short film. 9 is a 2005 computer animated science fiction short film created by Shane Acker as a student project at the UCLA Animation Workshop. Tim Burton saw the film and later produced a feature-length adaptation also titled 9 in 2009, directed by Acker and distributed by Focus Features. 9 is a rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying, post-apocalyptic Earth. Hunting 9 is the Cat Beast, a mechanical monster wearing a cat's skull for a head. It appears to be guided by a small glowing talisman which it holds in its claws. 9 (the full film) is also a computer-animated science film directed by Shane Acker, written by Pamela Pettler and produced by Jim Lemley, Tim Burton, and Dana Ginsburg.  A scientist is ordered by his dictator to create a robot in the apparent name of progress, and so the scientist creates the B.R.A.I.N., a highly intelligent robot. The dictator seizes it upon its ap...

Story Board

Image
   During this class period, my partner and I set up our storyboard for our Crocs commercial. We decided on how the commercial would be set up first and then how we would set up the storyboard that will coordinate with our commercial. In our first box, we have the actress holding a pair of crocs to show the jibbitz/gems off that decorate the crocs. In our second box, the actor is seen putting on their crocs while they are sitting on a bench located in the school. The third box shows the actor walking with the crocs on in both sports and comfortable mode. After the shoes are shown in both of the different wearable modes, the cameraman or woman will zoom into the crocs, showing the different angles of the shoes. Finally, our last box/part of our commercial will include the actors dancing as the crocs slogan comes on the scene concluding our commercial. Since my partner and I don't have a plethora of different color crocs, during the time of recording if anyone else with a pair o...

Genre Research: Big Catch

Image
  When looking for comedy short films on the websites given, we were unable to find any pertaining to comedy My team and I decided that it would be best to just look for one on Youtube rather than struggling to find one on the websites. Before going to Youtube we checked the regular internet where we mainly found films in our genre but they were full length. The first film we found on Youtube was "Big Catch." This interested us first because of the thumbnail. The thumbnail for this short was a picture of a man sitting with headphones and a shark behind him smiling. Seeing this, we automatically assumed that the shark would be trying to eat this man, but we did not know how it planned on going about it. In this film, there is no dialogue but there is diegetic sound where we can hear the birds making noise, the squeaking of the the shark on the deck, and the shark screaming as he realizes he is about to be thrown back into the ocean. Since this was an animated film, a lot of ed...
