GR: Analysis

 We chose the comedy horror genre. This hard choice was influenced by a number of factors. One of them was how hard it would be to obtain certain materials or acting skills. Ultimately, the comedy-horror genre proved to be the easiest. Thank you and have a great day!

 Pitch A- A man is secretly trying to kill a woman---or so he thinks. The woman, humored by his antics and plagued by depression tries to make it easier on him. This could be an extremely light hearted film as it could show the humor in the mundane. It could be easy to pull of as bad acting will make the movie better. Cheap weaponry will also make for a good props. In this type of movie, the worse everything is, the better. This could potentially be beneficial as we don't have a great budget for the film. However, the risk for the movie becoming crap is also high.  Pitch B- A girl on her way home from work is unaware she is being followed This has the potential to be simple and interesting, however hard and expensive. The acting and props would have to be good,meaning it would be costly. In the end we decided on Pitch A because it would be easier

  Hello! Its Jenna. I will be working on my movie with Janae. We have three classes together and are friendly so it makes sense. Unfortunately, she has a very different vision than I do. She wants to do a children's movie. Although I know more than my fair share of children's movie, I don't particularly love this vision. I don't have a good idea of it and she's not here to explain it to me, so I just have to guess. She is also not answering her phone. I feel it may be tricky figuring out filming days, as she is in band and I have a job. I also have babysitting responsibilities, which at times can be extremely demanding. Though we have many obstacles to overcome, I am confident that with her creativity tied down with my realism, we will made a splendid team. We are both mentors, meaning we don't have a study hall. However, we continue to make the best of a somewhat not ideal situation. I am hoping to film in Holiday Park, and if not I am hoping her parents are x

  My name is Jenna Grivas and I am excited to start my blog. I am 16 years old and I currently work at a movie theater, a job of which I love but feel I am critically underpaid for. I have two sisters, an older sister who is 19 and a younger who is 5. I love them both unconditionally, and they love me so long as I continue giving them free tickets to the movies. My top two favorite non-human things in this world are my two dogs, Blu who was a adopted as a rescue almost 10 years ago, and Luna who is a sassy Frenchie who we allowed into our home 2 years ago. I am allergic to both dogs, and naturally the cuter dog gives me the worst allergies. Though we were unaware of my allergies until after we got the first dog, by the time we got the second they knew, but at that point I was also a middle child. This feeling of neglect has led to my serious addiction to popcorn, which is fueled by my job. I have dreams of becoming a district attorney to help bring justice to victims of senseless crime
