Pitch

Pitch:

   A pitch is the one sentence you use to sell your story. It includes the character and the story. It should make somebody want to watch that  film. It's used in the film business to catch peoples attention. People should know what the film will be about when they hear the pitch. It's basically a hook. I've learned many things about pitches and pre-writing. I know that one must have a pitch before writing the script. Also, that you need to have an idea on the budget for the film before you begin filming. Also, your pre-visualization is very important. The pitch is also known as the log line or elevator pitch. It's a simple summary of the film.

Mobile Filmmaking Platform

Mobile Filmmaking Platform:

 
I believe you can do anything with mobile filmmaking. The quality won't be as good, but if you make a good film, nobody will be bothered by it. Your mind is the limit. You can do comedy, horror, romance, and even action. However, I would definitely say that comedy and horror/thriller would be the easiest to do. Anybody can be funny and tell jokes on screen. Also, horror/thriller can rely on suspense which is a bit complicated but for a mobile film it doesn't need to be professional.

Mobile Filmmaking

MOBILE FILMMAKING:

  Mobile filmmaking is when you shoot a video through a mobile device. That could be a phone or a tablet. Even though it doesn't have the best quality it's still usable footage. Some mobile footage is so good that some have won some awards. I am personally very excited about this assignment.

WRAPPING UP DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

What interested me the most about digital citizenship has to be the copyright section. The more you know about copyright and how that works, the more you avoid the lawsuits. Many people don't know how copyright works and think they can use any footage or song for whatever they want. Now that i've been taught about it I can now be more confident about that.

Copyright

Copyright:

Copyright is very important in every industry. You have to make sure nobody steals your idea. If you make a machine that makes money (a product) you have to make sure nobody see's it and makes the exact same machine. Or simply if they're making money off of your product. Its been happening for years and its still a big problem today. I often find links, in youtube comments, to websites that charge you to watch movies, that are still in theaters, in the comfort of your home.

Goals

Goals:

I have many goals in my life. I want to be a film director. Being a director involves many things. Having the knowledge of a particular set of skills. Skills that everybody on set should have. When you're the director you're in charge of getting the best performance out of your actors. But you also have to make sure everybody is doing their job. As a job you have to know a little about everybody's job. I hope to learn a little about every job on set and a lot about how to direct a movie.

Braking Netiquette

Breaking Netiquette:
 
   I once almost broke netiquette by saying something I should say to people. I almost sent the text but then, last minute, deleted it. I'm sure I did the right thing by deleting the text. I think if I would've sent that text the situation would've gotten worse. If you wouldn't say something to someone in person, then you shouldn't say it online.
