Pre-Production
For our trailer, we chose to do Napoleon Dynamite because we could film most of it in school. We started by dissecting the trailer and taking note of all the shots used. We then made a list of all the props we need to come up with. We also made a list of possible actors we could use. After figuring out who and what we would use for filming we scheduled days to film, this was a little difficult because most of us were busy on days we wanted to film.
Production
We ended up filming the majority of our scenes in school during class. I ended up purchasing props such as the wig and glasses. We chose Ethan to be Napoleon Dynamite because he was easily accessible and he is tall and lanky just like Napoleon. Some of the scenes we had to film after school so we rented out a camera and got together. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to film after school because of an orthodontist appointment.
Post-Production
After we finished filming we started the editing process. We were able to find the exact audio track which was nice. Sean was also able to recreate the graphics used in the trailer using photoshop. Sean handled most of the editing, while the rest of us just did a few cuts here and there. The only problem with editing where the audio levels, they could have been tweaked just a little bit.
Conclusion
If I could do one thing different I would probably get actors who go to our school and are more reliable. One thing my group did a really good job of doing was communicating with one another, and notifying the team if they were going to be absent. Overall this project went very well, and I think if we had the opportunity to do it again we could do even better.
