Elevator Pitch – Dream of Hell Trailer

For this project, I was asked to make an elevator pitch for a topic of my choice. I was given this assignment in my Writing with New Media Course. The ultimate topic I chose was to create an elevator pitch for a trailer for a movie.

Pitch: Imagine a college student who constantly daydreams – only that one day during class, they get trapped in their dreamscape.  My trailer is called ‘Dream of Hell’ and tells the story of a college student trapped, finding their way back to reality after a tortuous horror-based realistic dream.

I learned narrative digital storytelling, such as portrayed scenery, emotions, music, and script writing. 

This project required me to use my digital filmmaking and technical writing skills to produce a video trailer and script for my elevator pitch. 

Skills used: Digital filmmaking, technical writing, digital narrative, filmography, and script writing 

Tools used: YouTube, iPhone, iMovie, Cute Cut Pro and Google Docs

Hush Crush

For this project, I was asked to make a Magnum Opus, a product worthy to be called my greatest achievement. I was given this assignment in my Digital Storytelling course. This project required me to unleash my creativity and create a digital story called Hush Crush, a coming-of-age and discovering identity short film. I learned the various aspects of the narrative of digital storytelling, such as knowing my audience and having compelling content. I learned the several platforms and digital tools to create these narratives.
