possible pitches

Pitch 1: An unsolved murder and family quarrels lead two investigators down a string of missing persons. Pitch 2: Three teens on spring break document their exploration of a deserted building. Yet none are seen again; here is their footage. We already knew that we wanted to make a thriller or a horror for our opening sequence so we came up with a few ideas. We would want to make Pitch 1 because of how creative we can get with our opening sequence. Even though that pitch one in film and media may have been done a lot, we feel as though we can create something different.

Short Film Research: Thriller- Gridlock- Locked In For The Ride

Hey again! Today we have decided to inspect other short films that match our genre. First on our list was Gridlock by Ian Hunt Duffy. The short film was made available to us because it was uploaded onto the "Short of the Week" website, which is easily accessible on all platforms. To obtain the best viewing experience, my teammate and I watched them on a large laptop in a quiet room where we would be free of external distractions. We then conducted a thorough analysis of the conventions used by the short film, and we have outlined them below. Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots: In the short film, there are a wide variety of camera techniques applied. In terms of camera angles, the film primarily relied on eye-level shots, particularly when subjects wre conversing. The reason being is that doing so allowed for the audience to feel grounded in said conversations and not be tempted to dsitract themselves with what might be happening in the background. High angle shots were in...
