  I think it is very obvious from our pitches but we decided on a thriller. I am a strong lover of thrillers and I really wanted to do something that I’d love. We wanted to do something that’d be anxiety inducing. We wanted it to also be fun as well and I think with how the ideas are looking for how to execute it, this will be the best genre for us!

  My team and I came up with two pitches Pitch One: Mostly silent film about a deaf person who gets attacked in their own home.  I personally thought it’d be really cool to do a mostly silent film that only isn’t silent during the times that the attacker is the main focus of the screen.  Pitch Two: Killer dolls attack a group of teenagers.  We thought it’d be cool if we had a child character basically control these dolls and use them to attack her older brother and his friends. We ended up going with pitch one because we can easily do this and with kaylees editing skills make it be good.

For this project, I’ll be working with Honey Savage and Kaylee West. I chose them as my partner because I knew that we’d be able to get our work done and I know that I can see both of them outside of school for project purposes. they are both people that I enjoy the company of and I know that we can collaborate and make a lot of really cool choices. I like Kaylee’s editing skills, and I know that Honey will be a very cool person. we are all very create individuals, who have our own set of skills, and I know that put together our skills will be put to such good use. That’s all for now! Have an amazing day lovelies! CYA!
