Pitch A: A girl with a friend turns out the friend is imaginary. Pitch B: Slumber party between girls turns to a killing.... or a suicide? Discuss Pitch A: We like this film idea because we would add a plot twist. This was a cool idea and we all thought it would be a nice twist. The problem is we would have to edit the person out the shot to make it work. We are confident in our editing skills so we feel as if the idea will be executed well. The plus is it will involve less people so we can work quicker.  Discuss Pitch B: We like the this film idea as well because it would be able to incorporate each of our members in different ways.

Simply, so we don’t step over each others toes when we start making decisions.  Personally, I want to add my creative thought to th...

       Hello bloggers, I’ve missed you guys deeply and my updates about my life and films, I'm making my great return to the film industry in my A level Aice media class. I learned a lot from AS level but if you don’t fully remember all the growth from my last year films, i’ll reintroduce myself. I am Janiah Charles, a 18 year old senior at Fort Lauderdale high school. In both the magnet Law and Cambridge program I switched over to school in my sophomore year from Blanche ely. I left my old school because I felt unappreciated and unrecognized. I was also determined to come to this school in pursuit of law and someday be a lawyer.       Though that was my goal sophomore year as I became more comfortable and adjusted to my studies I became aware that I’m not strong in public speaking and would much rather investigate or research criminals, discussing amongst a small group. Though there are many types of lawyers and not all need to be great speakers...
