🏃Running a remake 🩵

Hi, it’s Maggie!

In this post I will be sharing my journey through remaking a short horror film.

How it started

A few weeks ago when we walked into class, our teacher showed us a quick preview of a short film called RUN  then she told us straight away that we had an hour to copy the exact film and do it ourselves with random groups that we got put in.   Me and my group quickly claimed a forestry area and started to film, there were so many different types of shots that we had to include with only a little bit of time. When we finished we headed back in side and started to edit, by adding sound and editing all the clips to make the film the exact time, which was 1:17. 

The next class

When we walked into the same class about a few days later, we all had to sit in our groups and the whole class had to watch everyone’s films and then give feedback to the group. Then we also learned that we had to remake the remake video that we had created the class before. We were put in the same group as before but we were allowed to switch up the different roles. My roles were main runner and costume designer for the group. 

The process of remaking then remaking a film

I was a bit nervous to remake another film. I just hoped that the sound this time would math up better then it did before. We also struggled with making sure we had all of our shots and weren’t missing anything. I really liked our final product and was happy with how clear the shots eneded up being. We also got 314 views ( with only 8 likes 🥹).

The driving question 

The driving question to this project was How might we learn video skills by recreating a short film? My answer to that question would be that its like going back to check your work twice you get the second chance to make something you think is great or not to be every better. We could learn new things about yourself such as for me as I am currently taking drama in school it has helped me with me have more confidence acting in front of others.

The final product

I will attach the final video to this post so that you can watch it. Personally I thought that me and my group did a really great job on compleating the task. We all divided the work equally throughout the group. 

Here is the original video:
