Pitching Ideas

 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. However, we are not sure how much we can do with the concept, so that is a con. Also, having more than 1 main character can be good for plot development, and this pitch only has 1. 

Pitch 3, while being an interesting possible idea, is probably the pitch that makes the least sense for our group. This would involve having someone who looks around their 30s or 40s to play the main character. This option poses a problem, as getting an adult to be involved in the filming process would require them to put in time and effort that they would most likely not have. For this reason, this pitch is not exactly ideal. 

We ended up choosing Pitch 1, because of our mutual interest in it, as well as its fit in our group.

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 ...
