  When watching the short film, I felt suspense. I wanted to know what would happen next and anticipated the next move. The plot was interesting because I did not expect the character, number 5, to sacrifice themselves for their buddy . What was even more interesting to me was the antagonist, the animal-like robot. I wanted to know why it was hunting those little creatures. Number 9 character development was present from the start of the short film all the way to the end. In the beginning, he was scared and nervous, but towards the end, he was seen to have more confidence after the sacrifice and seemed to know what to do. Since the genre of 9 is post-apocalyptic animation, the conventions that I saw in the short film are what I expected. The lighting was dark, in a way that kept me suspenseful of every action the character took. There was of course the classic convention of a death and a survivor. Death could have been number 5, sacrificing themselves, but it could also have been...

 Hello My loyal Listeners! I am here to tell you all about our pitches. Let's get into it.  Pitch 1: The setting is occupied Italy. Our protagonist is in a squad of U.S. Army GIs during a late-WW2 time period . His squad go out on a scouting mission in search of the enemy position. They make contact with the enemy and are chased down. This causes a chaotic firefight. They nearly get themselves killed by a "Panzerfaust" wielding German which gives the protagonist a realization that life is fragile, and anyone can get their life altered in moments. The closing scene shows one last German preparing to ambush the Americans as they are preparing to head back but instead chooses to surrender to the Americans.     Pitch 2: The setting is a decrepit location in a kitchen converted to be a lab, and 2 men dressed in hazmat suits and masks are cooking something up in this lab. They make precise measurements, and they comment how it's so important to do so, or else. They po...

 Hello, my loyal Listners. Today we are deciding our pitches and genres! In this blog, we are discussing our genre! Let's get into it! The genre of my short film will be war fiction. This means our character is placed in a completely fictional scenario that is based on historical events. War films can be distinguished through their opening sequence, which has a clich é of introducing a violent setting very suddenly. However, there is the exception of there being a happy and upbeat or perhaps a calm setting before introducing the main battlefield. One example being the short film named "Remembering the fallen" produced by Immediate Entertainment. Since my film is a short , there likely will not be time to include a peaceful setting first and have to cut right to the action.  

  Welcome everyone because I have great news for you. I formed the ultimate team for the new movie this year. I know last time I worked alone on two projects but that was horrible I have to be honest. It made the task of creating a perfect film a lot more difficult than it had to be. Plus I need a diverse set of skills at my dispense this year is not going to be easy. So I am more than happy to announce my amazing team. The names Sophia Villeda Merayo and Jaydon Capuano and their records are even more legendary. Here is a little bit about them. Sophia has an incredible eye for composition, always framing shots in a way that tells a compelling story. Her ability to find the perfect angle highlights her natural creativity and technical expertise. She intuitively understands how lighting, movement, and perspective come together to enhance a scene. Sophia’s directing style is seamless, as she knows how to bring out the best performances in people. Her calm demeanor on set fosters a pro...

  For real this time I mean it when I say let's do this one last time! I am now heading into my senior season and by heading into it I mean I am already halfway through. Time really flies. Midterms are going crazy and so much has changed since we last spoke. My last film did very well it got a lot of great reviews and had an international B-star rating. It's okay we are shooting for the A rating this year. Anyway, let's catch up again. I am currently President of a club and boy does no one tell you how hard that is. Leading to scheduling meetings can be a real nightmare. But I would not change it for the world. The Club is called Mindfullme and it's a community that was created to deal with students' stress from school life to just regular life. I am accomplishing stuff there. I am also still an avid swimmer and enjoy it thoroughly I really love all my teammates and am going to miss them when I go to college. It is weird even typing that word out I can't believe...
