Today Mr. Rivers provided us the whole period to work on our respective film and screenplay projects. Due June 10th, it's imperative to reiterate what Mr. Rivers said two weeks ago that it is crucial to finish early because of prom. Additionally, it's important to not forget about the cast list, related blog post, or poster as these can be easily forgotten and will add up to a lump-some of lost points. I would guess the next few days will follow suit as the previous days; with class being held within the Mac Lab until further notice.
With regards to my group's feature motion picture, we have been actively attempting, yes attempting, to convey a sense of humor from nonsensical writing, terrible acting, and overall shenanigans. If you've ever seen Movie 43, you know exactly how this film will turn out. The idea was really simple as we just threw out the idea of making a movie that makes no sense whatsoever for the sake of humor. We're hoping the terrible writing and acting paired with pretty decent cinematography will catch the eyes of our classmates and tickle their funny bones,
The easiest thing with this project was just how naturally nonsensical we are as people in general. We'd bounce ideas off each other out of the blue and we we're able to write in several funny scenes. The worst part of this however was the multiple re-shoots we had to go through. Throughout many of our shots, we generally had difficulty keeping a straight face and often times one of us would laugh during a shot. However, we were able to successfully finish filming and are on to the final stages of the project. In a general statement I'd say that this project was enjoyable for what it is; an exhibition in film making and writing.
Here's an extension on shot techniques.
