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...
We watched a video about making short films. They say that when writing, we need to keep in mind what we can pull off. We shouldn't write in things that we cannot create for our film.

We will have a member of our group play the main characters and we are confident our members can do so well. They also emphasize that sound is very important to capture dialogue and noises well. Our story will have important sounds. ...
I found the 'Art of the Title' website by searching for movie title sequences and stumbled upon this great website. When you open the link, the first thing you see is "2021 Emmy Nominations for Main Title Design". The writer acknowledges Studio King and Country for winning the Outstanding Main Title Design Emmy award. There is also a button that you can click that says "Title Sequences" it shows you three articles about "Main Title Design awards", "Title Design Finalists" and an article about a film called "Rock Hunter". Besides these articles you can click on "view all titles" and it will show you hundreds of clips from movies showing the title sequence. Next to the first button "Title Sequence" it says "Design+Studios" then it shows a list of at least one hundred designers and studios. If you click on anyone you can read about the studio or designer of a film that shows a title sequence. ...
