My Pitch

-

 

Two concrete ideas!

Pitch #1: A girl slowly but surely starts isolating herself and sees the consequences but it is too late.


When we were told that we were to begin soon, I wanted to go in a direction of a sad story. This is one I truly want to do since mental health is hot topic nowadays. But also because I was thinking of the logistics of this one as well. It would be on the easier side to film but it has its own quirks that I think I can solve. I am confident in solving those problems, and if  I do need such as with acting and the sorts I can ask the friends I have to help, if they are willing of course. Either way the whole idea is that a girl slowly starts shutting everyone off; colleagues, friends, and family. Sooner or later she takes it too the extreme and starts becoming adement on speaking to anyone unless she needs to. This becomes worse and worse until the consequences of isolation are irreversible.



Pitch #2: Dectective Graves and her partner, Investigator Addams, tries to solve a case of a seris of stabbings around the city.


This idea does reqiure me to ask around for help, but I am pretty sure I can get it, not worried. This idea did come because of the murder cases of Jack the Ripper. He was a serial killer in the late 1880s, according to the official case he murdered 5 people and his identity was never discorvered but other speculate more. I want to do something along the lines of that but of course changing a couple of details. For instance, Jack the Ripper, murdered 5 women in the Whitechapel district, I would change those aspects along with make it 10 times more modern, we live in the 21st century not the 19th century. The whole premise is the duo trying to solve the murder but of course they run into a couple of issues along the way and it ends with the real end of the case, no one is arrested or tried for the murder of the 5.




From the way I did decribe these ideas, you can probaly tell which one I am leaning towards. Mainly due to the logistics of it. 


I am going foward with the first pitch due to the ease and the stigma it deals with. I do like both ideas don't get me wrong but since I am working alone I do have to take that into account.


Signing off,

Kay.

Title Research: The Eternal Daughter

The Eternal Daughter  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?      The Eternal Daughter title card, A film by Joanna Hogg, actor and actress credit, produced by,  co producers, and editor. 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     A car on a road, and trees in a bunch, greyish brown background and grey background with a title card. 3.  What connotations do these images carry?       It is slowed to makes you feel anxiety. The sequence is gives you anxiety and suspense that you want to wait until it stops.   4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?     By putting up a very hazy scene throughout the introduction, the movie creates a sense of the genre. It has a hazy beginning that makes viewers uncertain of what is happening and what is happening. Suspense can result from this, which contributes to the genre's sense of adventure, fantasy, and action ...

Storyboard

My storyboard of the girl next door! Scene 1: This will be the first scene and this is where the main actor will appear. It will fade in from black to sync with the audio since it also fades in. It will be at eye level and it will be a close up to show to emphases the subject's eyes because of a lyric "red eyes". The set will be a road in order to cut into the next scene. Scene 2: After it cuts away from the close up we move into a medium long shot at eye level. The actor will be drinking a cherry coke and be stumbling along the road. The medium long shot is to show that she is still wearing the same clothes according to the lyrics. Scene 3: This scene she is up against the bedroom door looking distress. This will be at eye level and it will start at as a close up then zoom out in order to transition into the next scene. She is in this position because she is wondering about a certain thing, that thing being something unpleasant. Scene 4: The next scene will pan into her...

Almost!

We are almost done! As of writing this we are almost finished. We had completed filming around a week ago. Now we are so close to finish editing. Like we said previously, we were to continue adding the footage together so then we can make it easier when it came to transitions and audio. We have put in the title cards, and are only missing a few. For the title cards that we have done, we have added transitions for a couple to the title cards and only a footage is left to edit and put together. Right now we are moving things around, because we are slightly worried about the time limit but so far we haven't crossed it. But again there is that slight worry! We do have a way around it if it were to happen. We have sort of an idea of which scenes we can cut from the footage. We also can speed up footage and cut down some footage in order to make time. We have thought on it, just in case if it happens. Right now we aren't over the limit but again we still have footage to add. That foo...
