My Pitch

Image
       For my project I have chosen two pitches. The first pitch is “ A man whose family was killed returns to the killer’s house year after year hunting the new residents.” I thought this was a very interesting pitch. If I were to hear about it premiering soon I would definitely watch it. From the very beginning I knew that I wanted to do a thriller. This is my all time favorite genre. It lurs the audience in and has them shook at each twist and turn. Just like there are pros, there are cons. With the resources I have it would be very difficult to accommodate to the Mise-en-scene of this film. It requires a certain setting, people, lighting, all types of things I just can’t realistically make happen. My second pitch was “ What looks to be an equal friendship is actually one sided, one friend secretly hates the other and has some disturbing plans.” This pitch sounds just as interesting as the last. It fits the conventions for a thriller movie. I feel that with this p...

Filming my Starburst commercial

m        With this project we had a choice between working alone and working with a partner. I chose to work along on this. Teamwork is essential and I feel that it can be fun for the most part. Sometimes I just like to do things like this on my own. It allows lots of room for me to express my creativity. To make a commercial, that takes a lot of creativity. There are so many aspects that should be well represented and it should be detailed. This is important because you want your audience to see it and immediately know what it is.

For instance, without the colors and emphasis on juiciness would you be able to recognize a Starburst commercial. During the filming of my commercial there were a lot of steps. I started by making sure that all my props were in the right position and that the lighting was right. I ...

Genre Research: Peppermint

Image
  Action is one of the many genres that fascinate me. As some may know, lots of genres cross. What I mean by this is that each film usually has a few different genres. Certain genres just go together. Where there is thriller there is most likely action. Or in thrillers you see horror. These are just some examples of genres that are associated with each other. Peppermint showed a lot of action. In the movie a woman’s family was murdered right in front of her. At first she was fixed on getting justice for her family. She soon realized this was impossible and mostly everyone involved was potentially corrupt. She then became numb and set out to eliminate everyone involved with the case, including the murderers. There are also many twists in the plot. Film makers do this by showing you the actions but not showing you the person who is executing it. This creates a certain level of suspense that keeps the audience watching.  Another way to keep the audience engaged is just action. Lo...
