World Premiere

Wednesday we showed off the film we made for my Intro to Cinema class.

First of all, thanks to our Editor, Amanda. She did a fantastic job. I storyboarded and scripted out pretty much everything in our movie, so most of the shots and cutting was pretty straightforward....

However, we were planning this huge extravagant dance scene that we were going to film in the student lounge... and rather than planning out the most difficult in scene in our movie, we decided to improvise it....

Let's just say that our big extravagant dance scene wasn't so extravagant... It was rather simple. We did make things pretty difficult for our editor though... we recorded the exact same scene from 5 different angles, handed her our footage, and basically said, "good luck". 

The entire thing turned out fantastic.

The story line was ok... we basically made a pastiche-esque film. It definitely wasn't serious.

JUST DANCE - The Tale of Jeffery Mitchell:
Basically this guy dances all over campus, into class, everywhere he goes, etc... People, obviously, think he's pretty weird so he doesn't really have any friends. Hilarity ensues. Eventually, the guy gets so down on himself that he ventures into downtown Minneapolis in the middle of the night, alone. BUT, he runs into the place of his dreams: Spin Nightclub. He has fun and realizes that there is a place for him in this world.

Definitely not a serious movie... especially compared to another group that filmed a movie about a relationship between a man and a woman... they are fighting and something has obviously gone wrong. By the end of the movie, it is revealed that the woman caught the man kissing another man....

Deep, I know.

But we did pretty good. Definitely better than some of the other groups.
