My Pitch

-

First Pitch: An 11 year old boy who secretly has a crush on his friend's older sister who gets a boyfriend. Starts to plot against her boyfriend. 

Second Pitch: Two young girls' parents pass away, the older sister is healing and moving on but the younger sister still communicates with her dead parents.


I would be more interested in making the second pitch. The second pitch is very easy to add so much detail to effortlessly. While the first pitch is good but there isn’t much you can add to the storyline within the first two minutes to really give viewers good content.  Using my second pitch I could definitely incorporate a lot of interesting events within the first two minutes of the film to really get my viewers hooked. I could even include a short little background story in the start about how the girls lived prior to the passing away of their parents. Then after I could show a scene of how they live present day which would be a drastic change. It can probably be a 2 year later difference or the next year. I can also show the difference between how the sisters act towards each other and individually. Versus the first pitch there’s not many extra details I can include besides how obsessed the 10 year old is with his friend’s older sister. An example of this can include him doing weird things like eavesdropping on her conversation with her boyfriend or him sneaking into her room while she isn’t home. But I can not include a background or or like scenes that show what happened in the past. Also I have more resources to film the second pitch than the first. I also have the actors that fit the description of the second pitch better. Actors that are more available and accessible to me. But the first pitch is easier to film. But the second pitch will just flow better. So I am going to film the second pitch.

I was supposed to record scenes 5 and 6 this weekend but due to the weather I was unable to.  It was raining all day on Saturday, so I did not record the scene that day because the roads were slippery and I was prioritizing my safety. Then on Sunday, my parents weren't available to film from the passenger seat that day. And my permit requires me to be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old in the passenger seat while driving. So I hope that I'll be able to film scenes 5 and 6 some time this week, maybe Thursday or Saturday I'm not quite sure yet. I'm just trying to get these two specific scenes filmed as soon as I possibly can be I do believe that they'll be the most difficult to film. I was also trying to film scene 7 on Friday but I couldn't because I needed to move the couch to in front of the tv. But I couldn't because the living room space was pretty crowded with just large boxes so I decided to hold off on filming that scene until this sp...

Title Research: Insidious

The titles displayed during the opening sequence include the name of the studio and production company. Next the film displays the actor names, film title, casting by, music by, costume designer, edited by, production designer, and director of photography title. The next titles shown are the produced by, executive producers, written by, and directed by titles. The image of the boy sleeping in bed is prioritized. The image of a demon's face is also prioritized. Images of their living room with moving boxes is also prioritized. Then images of the stair case is prioritized.  An image of a baby's crib in a room is also shown. The image of the boy was one of the first images shown, and was prioritized probably because he's going to be victim or a main character. Then prioritizing the demon's face reveals who the villain is and that there may be people getting possessed in the movie. The image of their living room with the moving boxes is probably to give the audience an idea...

Production Blog-Filming

In my previous blog I got a majority of the props I need for my film. I was only missing a picture fame and I finally got it over the weekend. So let's rewind to last week, when I filmed scenes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Scenes 1 through 4 Ashlynn, the older sister, only wore one costume. On the other hand Rena, the younger sister, changed costumes in scene 3. Filming the first scene went pretty smoothly overall. Scene 2 took a long time to record because we had to restart multiple times to reshoot. In scene 2, my sister and I often had to refer back to the script. Scenes 3 and 4 were pretty easy to film and didn't take too many tries. One of the biggest problems I faced while filming was trying to avoid the director from being seen in the mirror or showing the camera. My sister who helped me with directing also had this problem where it was hard to avoid being seen in the mirror. Like for the title slide background with me in it, it was supposed to be a over the shoulder shot. But this w...
