Short Film Pitch

 A group of friends explore a creepy forest and mysteriously die one after another This is our group's pitch for our film.  This pitch may sound similar to the pitch of Nicholas and Grant's Media Studies AS level film introduction.  That is because it is. We all really enjoyed the idea they had for their last project and want to expand on it.  Kyle, our third group member was also involved in the film introduction from AS Level.  He was an actor in the film.  In fact, he was the actor with the most screen time.  The short film will have the genres of mystery and horror.  We plan for the tone to be serious.  Hopefully, even scary.  There are many ways we have thought of making the idea from our AS Level project more in depth.  We do not plan to use footage from the last project.  Instead, we will simply use the idea as inspiration and make something new from it.  Perhaps we will make one of the students in the group the culprit.  Or, even the camera man.  Our group

My name is Carl Henri Backer. I am a high school senior, and I attend Fort Lauderdale High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I took AICE Media Studies AS-Level last school year and decided to take A-Level because I enjoyed the class very much. I really liked filming and learning about the things that must happen behind the scenes. I am interested in doing a more in-depth film project this year. This year, unlike last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I will be able to work with my friends that chose to take A level Media Studies.  Since I love watching movies, learning about film production in AICE Media Studies was very appealing.
