Intro Blog

 Hello, my name is Violet Roberts. I am 15 years old and am a sophomore in highschool. I have learned so much throughout this year regarding media. I am very excited to begin my final project and use the tools I have developed over the year. I have a brother who is 18 years old and in his senior year, and he also has furthered my knowledge in this course because he took it before I did. I live with him, my mom and my dad. I also have some pets! I have two dogs and 7 cats. I have many interests in life, such as soccer, theatre, and piano. I like doing these things because I am good at them and they make me happy. I joined this course because I was excited to learn more about film making and its components. And I must add, I have not been disappointed! My family watches TV shows and movies together some nights. It is very entertaining to look for things that I have learned so much about and point them out to them. I also like identifying things like lighting choices that further the purpose of a specific scene. Seeing these things and interpreting them is very fun. It is a challenge, but a good one, while watching things. Safe to say I am wonderfully excited to put together those things into my final project. I feel confident and ready for this final project!

A second opinion

Image
 After a long journey with many ups and downs, our film is nearly to the finish line. Today, my group and I decided that a second opinion on our film would be a great idea. Mila said she would ask her mom to watch. Dara said she would ask her stepdad. Addie said she would ask her dad. I was going to ask one of my parents as well, but I realized I wanted someone less biased. I thought about the people I knew well enough to get a second opinion from, and whom from that group would be willing to give an honest review. I thought about my brother. Initially, I had passed that option off as being to biased because he is my immediate family. However, it occurred to me that he is actually very much into the film world. He loves cinema and analyzing media. I knew also that he would not hold back the truth.  Suddenly, it seemed stupid of me to get anyone else’s opinion. So, I brought the film to him for him to watch. He agreed to give his honest opinion. When he began to watch, he made ...

Pitching Ideas

Image
 Our group came up with a few pitches for our project: Pitch 1: A little girl's imagination gets out of hand one afternoon. Pitch 2: A girl is doing homework when suddenly she finds a mysterious note left in her book for her.  Pitch 3: A young mom is driving to pick up her son from school, when out of the blue and friend from her past comes her way.  Pitch one is an ideal one for our group, as it can involve girl characters, and our group has four girls. This leaves us options for us to have someone to film, which is good so we don't have to go out of our way to find another cameraman. This, along with the fact that the wording allows for wiggle room, is a pro to pitch 1. However, we would have to take extra steps to find a little girl to play one of the parts, which adds a bit of a challenge, but I think our group is up for that. Pitch 2 is also a reasonable pitch for our group, because we can have one of us acting and the rest of us tackling other responsibilities. Howe...
