Short Film 2012
SHORT FILM PITCH
KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid!
Name writer: Sabrina Cantini
Intended Audience: PG 13
Main Character: Sophia, 18 year old girl.
Location: Argentina, Bs as
· Sophia visiting psychiatrist.
Skin Productions
Sophia visiting psychiatrist
What`s the Story?
A woman who`s life changes by the death of her only young brother. After her brother dies in he’s young 16´s, she becomes crazy and imagines his presence. She visits the psychiatrist to deal and accept the death of her brother Mathew .
Why we`re doing it?
We are doing it because we think is a very interesting theme that can show all of our film knowledge. The genre is Drama and what we want to show is how Sophie gets confused with reality and her imagination.
How we`ll do it?
We will do castings to find our actors and actresses from the people who study Drama IB in a lunch time. The film will be only 5 minutes long
Where are we doing it?
The Short film will be filmed in places such as school and a neighborhood called Abril because there´s a lot of shots that can be taken of nature that we want to include on the film. Also another place will be an office to show the psychiatrist office.
Story Outline:
The short film will start by introducing our main character, Sophie, by following her into the psychiatrist office. Then we will show them in their first appointment, as they introduce each other and the audience will get to know why the patient is there. We will show images of Sophia´s childhood with her dead brother, to express the happy and nice relation they had, and the relation they had as they grew up. Then we will show how her world broke down after her brother’s death by showing how she imagines and believes that he is still alive.

Noir Conventions in Seven
Noir elements of opening.
Sounds: Sirens, car break,rain always present even though we cant see it.
Music: Use of low key chords- sense of doom
Angles:close-ups,dutch angles (distortion of angles)- which show a distorted world.
Characters: Detectives (2), Forense police, victim- plots involving crime, murders.
Setting: Rainy, cloudy, urban decay, unknown city, building crumbling. This create a cold, depressing feeling-downbeat atmosphere.
Lighting: Darkness, flash lights-which create complex storylines,shadows, hospital like (white lights) foresce laboratory and police department which create a tecnological environment but also the cold unfeeling world of the film. There are also a lot of contrast in lighting-which is called the chiaroscuro low-key lighting that can show actors being trapped pr enclosed.

Production Journal- 05/09/11
Last week we transcribe the scripts and we created our shot log to start editing in an more organized way. When i started the editing i didnt notice that in some videos the sound quality wasnt very good because of background music and sounds, so i had to transcribe the script and i am deciding if i steal use the visual of the video with subtitles (but it would sound messy and not comfortable) or if ill present it in another way such as written or with v.o in b-roll. After observing all the videos we decided to choose videos that had the best sound quality and that looked good. We found between the videos that some of the tatooers repeated the question we asked, so we can use the tecnic in the documental "Super size me" in the scene in which the lawyer repeats the question and another character answers, We could cut the part in which the tattoer repeats the question we asked and then we could include the aswers of several tattoers. We thought it would be a very clever tecnic to use so that our voices dont appear repeatively in the documental and it would be a faster way to put all the information together and mantain people interested.

On Tuesday the 23rd of august (Last week) our whole film studies class skiped classes to film. In our group, Giuliana Viveka and I got together at about 9.30 in viveka's department, had breakfast and organized our selves, checking we had all the memory cards and the batteries full. We wanted first to visit Henry's tatto place but he didnt answer our mails neither our phon calls so we went to La Bond Street. At about 10.30am we started our filming day: we firts visited la bond street and took some establishing shots for our B-roll material. Then we walk through the whole gallery and we asked permition to film in a new place we found. The first tattooer we interviewed was called Gerardo, and when we saw him he was designing a tattoo. He was really helpfull, he knew a lot about the history of tattoos and many other things. We got a great shot of him because while he was answering our question you can see in the background part of his design.
The second place we went to was new also. The man we interviewed was a tattoer and also an actor. His name was Richard. Richard new a lot about tattoos also. He invited us to film him while he was tattooing which was great! Richard was very helpfull and new a lot about cameras, he was a very positive person.
After that we had lunch in McDonalds. During lunch we transfered all our material to my computer and we also charged vivekas camera battery. After having a perfect useful morning the afternoon arrived, when we got back to La Bond Street no one wanted to help us with the documentary, we interviewed Gerardo again and then we interviewed another tattooes which wasnt very helpfull, because he wasnt quite aware of the history of tattoos and the dangers they can and they cant have. After that we visited the first place we visited before winter holidays, but the owner was quite distracted, we felt disapointed about that cause when we filmed there the last time they were very positive and sympathic.
During the filming we all helped by asking the questions we needed to be answered, and viveka controlled the camera. She did an excellent job. We were proud of us cause we were very organized and followed part of our shot list. Also last week we worked labelling our videos and analizing them which was very organized and helpfull also.

Production Journal 15/08
Last weekend, our aim was to visit the tattoo places and get several shots to start editing, but we couldnt because i was sick!! We are going this weekend.
In the las 8 weeks we have progressed a lot with Skin Productions, we produced our storyboard with our100word summary with our aims and ideas. W also took several shots of the places and the people we will be working with.
WEEK 1
On our first week of work we assigned each member of the production a pacticular role to have through out the production and we chose a name for our production:
Skin Production´s
Giuliana: Cameraman & Producer. Giuliana got these roles because she was absent and these where the roles left.
Viveka: Researcher & Talent. Viveka chose to be the reseacher because she really liked the idea of studying the history of tattoos, an she chose the talent cause she is a very outstanding person that could appear talking in the video with out problem.
Sabrina (ME): Editor and writer. I am the writer and the editor because i am the most artistic in the group, i really like to write and draw, i think i am very creative and also i was the only one that had worked with editing programs.
At the end of our first week we had to have a completed pitch and present it to the PE. At first we chose to work with a non-profitable company, FILOCHICOS, that helped to educate and teach poor children about higene, maths, and several other, but then we had a problem which was that it would be very difficult to achieve what we wanted because we would have to ask permition to every kid´s parents for them to appear in the video and we didnt have enough time to contact each parent. While we waited for an answer from FILOCHICOS telling us if we could work with them and the children or not, we came up with a better idea for our documentary with was the art of tattoos.
WEEK 2
On the second week we presented our story board and story outline for FILOCHICOS, but as we wanted to change to tattoos, we also presented our new pitch which was accepted by the EP.
WEEK 3
On the third week we presented our new story board and storyoutline, as that weekend we had already visited and asking permition to film in the tattoo places, we were ahead of all our partners because we asked permition and contacted several owners of several tattoo places. We also presented our research documents 2. For this week we already had pictures and videos of our visit to the tattoo places!! We are an organized group ahead of the rest, we have several interviews and videos of people being tattooed that we took for ourselves. We have a very good relation with the tattooers and they enjoyed being part of our documentary and loved to help us and keep helping us to create an interesting 5 minute film.
WEEK 4
For our 4th week we had to scout locations, which we already had. We created our list of locations including shots of the places.
WEEK 5
Last week we learned what a shot list was and what was it for. We worked on a shot list organizing ourselves and choosing how we will work with the shots we have and the shots we need to get to acomplish the documentary we are planning to do, including details of the V.O we are going to use , the music, and the speed and order of each still and moving shot that we are going to use.

Last weekend we were going to visit La Bond Street but we couldn't for some personal issue.
On Saturday I downloaded several editing programs to try them and choose the best and the easiest to work with. The best for me was AVS VIDEO EDITOR and i`ve worked with it the whole weekend learning different ways to edit and get everything together, I am still discovering different ways to make it more interesting.
