My Pitch Blog

 Welcome back!! Me and my group are going to be discussing what we want our pitch to be for this. 

Pitch one: Two lifelong best friends take a turn for the worst when one’s jealousy takes over.

Pitch two: Two girls are in love but they face the challenge of homophobic parents.


To describe the first pitch, There's a new trio in small town Bridgewater consisting of Kendall, Ellie and Olivia. Kendall and Ellie have always been inseparable. That was until Olivia came along to “steal” Ellies attention. Kendall let her jealousy get the best of her and one day Olivia disappears…there is always a duo in a trio. 


The second pitch is, Two best friends Eliza and Jacky fall in love but without the approval of their homophobic parents they decide to run away. They face many challenges on their trip, this includes crazy police chases, heartbreak and self sabotage. 


Pitch two was a good idea but we found it to be more difficult to execute. We believe we will be able to execute pitch one in a more realistic and creative way. Pitch one was more preferred by all members in the group and we believe it will be something relatable to make. On top of that last year a few of the group members chose to talk about homophobic conventions so we wanted to switch it up and do something different this year, this will help us branch out and experiment on a different media level. So ultimately we decided to go with Pitch one, Two lifelong best friends take a turn for the worst when one’s jealousy takes over.

My Critical Reflection

  Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...

A Comparison of 12 Monkeys & La Jetée

Heyyy blog welcome back. Prior to researching these two films I didn't realize how similar the two storylines were. I was distracted by the use of still images compared to video sequences to notice the plot. After watching “La Jetee vs 12 Monkeys… which is better?” I see that both films explore the idea of time travel and the consequences for your actions. La Jetee does this through the use of images to tell this provoking story. When creating our own short film we are able to take these to films and use them as inspiration. We want to incorporate more complex ideas that leave the audience thinking. I think our goal of our short film is to really throw the audience off track almost like a plot twist. We could maybe even incorporate the idea of a natural disaster just like La Jetee and 12 Monkeys. After watching the two films we also took the video style into consideration for our film. The La Jetee images are black and white so the film has an older, more dark feeling to it. For th...
