While preparing for the pitching, I could honestly say that the experience was pretty nerve wrecking as it move out of my comfort zone. It made me nervous for several reason because first of all, I was pitching an idea that wasn’t fully developed, and towards and audience that I’ve only spent 2 months getting to know. As a cinematographer, I believe that your work shows your talent, and precisely why I’m not really comfortable pitching to others, especially a large crowd.

In the process of getting ready for the pitch, my teammates were really supportive in helping to prepare my role in the pitch. Although it was my role was just to pitch the idea about how the framing and angles of the film will be shot, it proved to be a challenge just to speak in front of a new audience.

While preparing the storyboard, our teammates would usually just meet in class to discuss about the idea of the film. Due to the difference in everyone’s busy schedule, the only time that we could compromise upon was the class time, so attending classes proved to be vital in the development of the story to the film.

We started off by developing our main character, Keith then later made a story that revolved around his life. His character has been based off a video game that one of my team member, Jamie played. We wanted to emphasize on the theme of depression and overcoming depression as it proved to be an interesting topic that caught all of our attentions.

Overall, it was a very fun and new kind of experience for me. Now that I know how pitching for a new crowd feels like, I can be better prepared for the next one.
