Story-Telling Unit: Creating a story and pitches.

Recently we have begun creating our own story lines and characters for our first university project. We have been given the choice of creating a comedy, a thriller or a drama. Because I have created comedy pieces in the past, and things that could be considered thrillers, I decided to create my own dramatic piece.
In order to do this, I have been developing my own characters and creating my own scenarios, which I believe would be very enjoyable to see play out on film.
I have had the opportunity to actually present my ideas and opinions to other members of my class, as well as take in some of their suggestions and thoughts in order to make my ideas better. I am extremely happy to have been able to develop my ideas further, and the addition of classmates that can improve my ideas has really helped me.
As a result of creating my own storyline idea, and sharing said idea with other members of my class, I have been able to generate even more ideas and fine-tune the ones I have already had. I have also been able to create my own 25 word pitch for my short film called "The Meeting."

"After convincing him to postpone a suicide attempt, a young woman struggles to show a broken man that life is worth fighting for. But will she be successful?"

I have worded my pitch in such a way that it describes what will happen in the film perfectly, but without giving away major details which I believe would spoil the film and give away the major plot turns.
The next step in the film-making process will be for me to take my completed storyline idea, and develop it into a draft script.
I look forward to beginning this process and creating the film. I will continue to update this blog.
