Day Fifteen: August 8th, 2018
For unknown reasons, Laura told me to take last week off (the week of July 30th). During this hiatus, I made good use of my time by developing my pitch. I put together the general storyline and its themes in Microsoft Word. Moreover, I designed the characters, the title, and its logo in Photoshop. While composing all this, I frequently looked back to Heather's pitching notes that I took earlier this summer. After that, I put everything together in Microsoft Powerpoint. However, because this isn't the final product, I didn't give each character a biography yet.
I'm not going to describe the plot, characters, or themes of my pitch because it won't transcend if it is explained in text. There is no better way to describe a plot than through verbal and visual aid. Compared to text or not, that's how you win over the audience (I also don't want anyone who reads my blog to steal my idea). However, I can type up the longline, which gives plenty of insight on the plot anyway:
“A group of friends had the privilege of spending their childhoods worrying about first-world issues, like what to have for dinner or what movie to see. But as they grow older, they realize there are much bigger responsibilities to tackle, like college applications and deciding what they want to do with their lives, all while fending off bullies, horrendous teachers, and their peers.”
As soon as I walked into work, I emailed the powerpoint and notes to Laura. In the Word document, she typed up many suggestions/critiques and sent it back to me. I will read this and edit everything as soon as I get home (I'm not aloud to work on my pitch at EEP).
Adam and Heather are back from vacation, but I didn't talk to them much today. After Laura sent me her notes on the pitch, I just did research for the rest of the day.
