Pre-Production
For this project, we each had to start by choosing our movie trailer. Clueless was one of my first options because it seemed like one of the only trailers that was easily recreate-able. We then got our groups, and started pre-production. We went through the trailer and screenshotted each frame, and put that into a google doc. We then had to go through and listen to the words to create the script. As we were doing this, we also had to find actors. After we assigned roles to actors, we began filming.
Production
We filmed one block day at school, as well as around an hour outside of school. Most of our shots took place at school, and we tried to recreate them as accurately as possible. We had a little trouble finding accurate costumes, so we just went with the closest we could find. We filmed at Price Chopper for the "restaurant" scenes, and we used my car for the car scenes.
Post-Production
After we filmed all of our shots, we started editing. Someone else on my team sequenced the shots. Later, I went back in and straightened the clips out and added little details such as music, sound effects and graphics. I enjoyed doing this project and trying to re create each shot. If I were to do it again, I would get more shots, and redo some of the ones we had. Overall, I enjoyed this project and it taught me a lot about pre-production and editing.
