.MOV Film Festival



My keywords for my new sitcom project are pidgin, slang, exaggeration, learning and fitting in. Pidgin can relate to anyone who lives in or has visited Hawaii since it is widely spoken throughout the islands. Pidgin is basically english but spoken in the Hawaiian slang. My second keyword, slang, can be relatable because every place you visit there is probably a certain type of slang they speak. In the story, Lester and Raghav are trying to learn Pidgin after their friend greets them in the foreign slang. My third keyword, exaggeration, relates to the how Lester and Raghav exaggerate the Hawaiian slang and my audience could probably relate to over exaggeration at least once in their lives. My fourth keyword, learning, is represented in our story as the conflict while Lester and Raghav try to learn what Kalani was teaching them and everybody can relate to having a hard tim learning something in the past or present. My final keyword is fitting in and that is what Lester and Raghav are doing in the sitcom and many people have always had trouble fitting in.

Our overall message is to not try so hard to fit in or else non one is gonna want to be your friend for someone you aren't. Fitting in is a really universal problem as everyone has experienced sometime in their lives. Raghav and Lester were trying to fit in by learning pidgin. In the story, Raghav and Lester learn that they've been trying to hard to fit in. After they realize this they spend the rest of their time with Kalani.
This overall was a pretty tough project and didn't come out the way I had pictured it in my head. It was really hard to find strangers to work with us at the beach and to even look for the right people. Most people had rejected our request mostly because of them not wanting to be one camera. The biggest difficulty was trying to get everyone of us to meet up at the airport which was one of the scenes we hadn't done yet. This was soon fixed by a simple green screen.
