My Pitch


Pitch #1: A teen slowly spirals into a depressive state while trying to hide it from everyone in her life.

I would be very interested in making this film for a variety of reasons. I know many people, including myself that struggle with mental health issues. I think this film would be able to raise awareness about mental health, specifically with depression and the warning signs of a depressive state. I believe people around the same age group or people who are experiencing the same issues will be able to relate to the film, and may be more inclined to get help. Additionally, I believe the film will be able to help people realize that they are in a depressive state or realize what specific mental issues they may be dealing with.

Pitch #2: A girl falls in love with her best friend only to realize that her best friend is straight. 

This is also another idea I would be very intrigued in making. Today’s media has more and more LGBTQ+ representation. The boom in representation is so beneficial to those who are questioning, coming to terms with their sexuality or those who would like to see more of something they can actually relate to. The specific situation that will be the focus of the film is relatable to many of the LGBTQ+ community. Similar stories of falling in love with your best friend who ultimately never be interested in you have been shared and received with positive support and feedback.

Final task pitch: A teenage girl slowly spirals into a depressive state while trying to remain functional and happy.

 The title of the film will most likely be “Why Do You Ask?” The titles will be in a bold, white font and in all caps. Because the title sequence will be at the end of the opening sequence, I wanted to leave viewers on a higher, uplifted note. This is based on the last scene, where the main character finally realizes she needs to get help. I decided a lighter gray and white font would be best. Alongside this, the font will appear to be “typed” onto the screen, and will stay on the screen for two to three seconds.

My Last Day of Filming

 Today was my second and last day of filming. I am confident that I have completely finished filming my opening sequence. However, just to be safe, I have allotted an extra day to film any additional clips if need be. In the few hours I had available to film, I was able to film the leftover scenes I had from the last filming day I had. As I mentioned in the previous blog post, using a physical copy of the storyboard I created helps a great deal when filming. I like having a physical copy of things; I’ve found it to be most beneficial. It helps me stay on track while filming and helps me to film clips in order, keeping everything organized. This is also extremely useful anytime I need to film any clips again. Due to my decision to film alone, rather than working with a partner or in a group, this does make filming a little bit harder. Although there are some things I do not have to worry about, like disputing over availability to film, there are certain things that are obviously mor...
