My Pitch!

-

 



Brainstorming has been a fun process and I believe all of my ideas had great potential to be great. I already knew the genre I wanted to do, which is drama and a bit of thriller included. Through that I settled on 2 final ideas and then choose the final one.

IDEA #1 : A woman born as Annaliese comes from a foreign country with a family involved in various malicious activity such as drug trafficking, and murder business. Because she was apart of the family, she had no choice but to join the family business and earn her keep. One day, all hell broke loose, sending Annaliese on the run, also giving her the opportunity to recreate herself. Keeping her past self behind her, she ran to America and kept various identities. However, how long would it be until her pas catches up with her.         

IDEA #2 : An olive branch was the center of the family crest, giving her her name, Olive. A teenage girl sent to America by her other to get away from the mafia family background. With the family believing that Olive was kidnapped as a child, the family never stopped looking for her. At the same time, neither has the families enemies. Olive stays isolated and consistently moves, not giving her enough time to make friends or enjoy her own life. No attachments or bonds keeps her protected and protects others from her. It wasn't until she met _______ that she couldn't help but live and be happy. ________ was consistent and made her days brighter. However, when the family's past started to catch up, her life is wild again and shed forced to choose between pushing happiness away again or keeping _______ in her life.         

I came to the conclusion and settled on Idea #2. I choose it because it was more relatable to do since she is a teenager. The first idea needed more people, more costumes, and more settings that aren't fully accessible for me to do and use. For example, each identity Annaliese had, used a different profession. I wanted to introduce the movie with her coming from different jobs and that'd be too much. In contrast, Olive's movie is more centered on her and is introduced with her being alone all he time, while her mother hovers from afar to protect her. I'm going to continue planning everything out and cant wait o start his film!

      We've been tasked with a Short Film that's supposed to be the length of five minutes. I am working with a group and spent about 2 days brainstorming and came together with ideas and we collectively decided on a product.    Our main pitch and film will be about a man and his wife whom he has just killed. She's been put in the trunk of his car and it will begin with the male actor closing the trunk. Afterwards he's being mentally strained and traumatized with overwhelming guilt to where hes hallucinating his dead wife in his car and around him. Playback's of their memories together will be shown to develop character relationship. The woman's dialogue will be her soothing/downplaying the situation because his subconscious is trying to relieve him of guilt. He'll be completely overwhelmed. Wrapping up the film will be him stopping and getting out of the car to then, walk out into the road to end his life.      The entire film will take plac...

Genre Research: Me Before You 2016

-

  Me Before You was a full on drama influenced and led by romance. A man was living a lavish, wealthy and adventurous life until his life changed completely after being in an accident that left him paralyzed. Louisa enters his life as his caregiver but becomes so much more by loving him and wanting him to find value in his life. But in all her efforts, his mind didn't change. A necessary convention of drama was character development. Within the movie, Louisa grew personally and it's because of her experiences with Will. In my film I'll be sure to include that development. Another thing that made this movie successful was the irony in some parts. Will used to jump off cliffs into oceans and since he cant walk, going back to his old life isn't even an option. Lastly, was the unpredictable ending. The continuous drama of what'd happen next and the constant rising of issues made it interesting and I'll be sure to take that into thought when creating my film.

The Drive, Short Feature - Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues?     Our film isn't vocally or directly focused on social issues however when looking for a deeper meaning, an issue that prevails is the male's mental state. To have killed someone he loves, to imagine/hallucinate them in his space, to then kill himself is a lot to receive in a short film. As we forge through an era where mental health is prioritized, this film was an easy development to portray this. Boys and men are prone to be judged for showing or expressing emotions. In the film, this bottled-up self-hatred, guilt, and uncertainty of the main character led to his own demise. Applied to society, this happens so frequently that people push it under the rug. Men should be allowed to have and express their emotions without feeling empty or weak. We are all human and it's impossible to feel anything. Dean committed suicide at the end of the film by walking out into the road because he couldn’t take anymor...
