RUN!

Hi! As part of our launch this year we watched a YouTube video called “RUN! A Short Horror.” For the launch we had to recreate this video in one class with no prepared costumes or anything. We had 15 minutes to plan out what to do and who would be which character we would each be.

Here is the original “RUN!” video:

Preparation

To get ready to film in the short time we had my group which consisted of Tyler, Cole, and Daniel. We watched the original “RUN!” video multiple times and then split the scenes in iMovie so we could find out how long each shot was. We had to make our remake the exact same so every clip had to be the same length as the original. Once we had separated all the clips we then headed out to the forest to film the video.

We had to make a second draft and make this one better and we would have more time to prepare for it and plan out things for it. We had to make a storyboard and a screenplay showing our story and plan for “RUN!” Tyler unfortunately had to get moved t0 another group because she wouldn’t have been able to be there for the filming day and went to the group of people who would be away. But the rest of us did a good job with it!

Filming

First Time

“RUN!” was filmed on a trail in the forest so we had to find a good place to film that was still close to the school. We decided to go to the bike jumps in the trail by the school. We had about 25 clips to film and about a 100 different angles (Just kidding but it felt like 100!) It was really fun to film the clips and I got to be the runner and Tyler was the monster while Cole and Daniel helped film and tell us what clips to do.

The was the final result for the forest draft:

Second Time

When we were filming it for the second time we had a LOT more time to prepare and get costumes and stuff so when the day came we could get right into it actually knowing what we were doing this time. This time around I was the person filming, Daniel was the runner, and Cole was the monster. It was a lot more fun doing it knowing what we were doing this time and we didn’t have to rush it.

The Final Result

We had to present our thing to the class and it went…ok but we had a couple mistakes in it! Some of the clips were filmed wrong and you can see my classmate in the background! We weren’t allowed to film again but we know for next time and hopefully our videos will continue to get better. The editing credit does to Daniel who edited the whole video over the weekend for our group.

This was the final result!

Conclusion

In conclusion I had an awesome time doing this project and getting to make the video and recreate something that we watched. I had a great group and I was happy to work and film with them. One thing I have learn from this is not to rush the filming and take the time you need for each shot so they don’t end up being too short or filming something with a wrong angle. You shouldn’t worry about the amount of time it takes to do something, its better to do something right and not rush it then to get a b ad result have it rushed everything. Overall I had a super fun time doing this project and I hope the we get to do some more filming again soon!
