Planning Blog: Title Design

 




The title of my film will be : Burnt Out. 

I will use the font 

TT Ramillas

It is a contemporary font and it is simple yet bold. I’m using this font to illustrate the serious nature of my short film.  It will be in a purple color because that is the color that often is used to represent mental health.

    Pitch A: A girl goes to hang out with her friend and soon realizes something is wrong.  Pitch B: A girl goes to a hotel party with a lot of people and things start to become suspicious.  Discuss pitch A: This pitch has a more interesting plot. To follow through with this pitch, there would be no money wasted, if any, it would only be $15 minimum. I have a perfect place that is near me and isn't a long drive for the final task to be filmed. My house is also a perfect place for a certain part of the final task to be filmed.

Short film research: crush(ed)

  The short film Crush(ed) adheres to many conventions of the short film genre while presenting a humorous and slightly exaggerated take on the awkwardness of teenage infatuation.

Lighting is natural and vibrant, maintaining an upbeat tone, while moments of heightened emotion or fantasy ma...

Production Blog: Filming Break

  This week, I decided to take a short break from filming. Between schoolwork and the pressures of working on Burnt Out, I found myself getting a bit overwhelmed. I needed time to recharge, and I think it’s important to recognize when you need a pause. Taking this break also gave me the opportunity to think about the film from a new perspective. I’ve been adjusting parts of the script, trying to make it even more personal and reflective of my own experiences. It’s been a bit of a challenge balancing everything, but I think stepping away for a bit will make the final product stronger. During this time, I’ve also been focusing on post-production and watching the footage I’ve gathered so far. I’m looking at how each scene connects to the next and thinking about the emotional arc of the film. I’m feeling a little behind on my filming schedule, but it’s important to stay patient and trust the process. When I come back to shooting, I’ll be more energized and ready to tackle the next scen...
