Start of Final Task

        Hey you guys , I’m back. And in case you forgot , name is Micahia. I am still currently in the 11th grade here at Fort Lauderdale High School. If you remember, the purpose of these blogs is to keep track and record of my progress in my AICE Media class. We went on a break for a while but we are back in business now and ready to get started. We are starting another project, this one will be a movie. It’s not exactly us filming a movie. Our assignment is to create an opening for a movie. In my previous projects, I worked with the same group members. However, we’ve decided to add another individual to our group. Janell, Jessica and I added Erik to our group. He will be our cameraman.
         I’m excited for this new assignment because we get to ultimately be on our own when coming up with ideas. With the music video we had certain directions and limitations and the commercial had to follow a certain format as well. But this movie is all from the ideas we have in our heads. The way we want it and we have more time to film. I learned when doing the previous projects that it’s all about time and preparation. Also, location is everything. With a good location you have good props and lighting and that sets the scene of what the idea is.
      The movie requires pitches. A pitch is a Hollywood term to describe an idea where a film is encapsulated in 25 words or less. It’s usually one sentence and explains the entire idea. We wanted to brainstorm ideas so we were instructed to come up with 3 different pitches. 1st Pitch- A group of people have their drinks drugged at a party, then they find themselves in a room they must escape from. 2nd Pitch- A white male, black female find themselves in love with each other and although this isn’t the olden days, their love is still forbidden. 3rd Pitch- She’s a lawyer by day and criminal master mind by night, she abducted her clients’ child and wants to build a new family with him.
