This is my CAP Hollywood movie. It's called The Ticket.
As of Wednesday, the 29th, CAP Hollywood is officially over - and the best part is that we successfully completed our film!
It was actually exported last Friday, so we didn't work on it at all this week. Wednesday night everyone in CAP, and most of our parents, arrived at school dressed up. The kids all walked the red carpet and students who did CAP Hollywood last year acted as paparazzi and took our pictures. We then all went into the auditorium where we watched all the films. Then the nominations for the different awards were read (the awards were the typical Oscar ones - best actor/actress, best director, best editor...) and the awards were given out. Our film didn't win anything, but we were nominated for best actor.
I think that this was a really fun and clever project. I liked how we incorporated what we did in English to what we do in Media. Also, I think that the time frame the we were given to do this project was perfect. Were it any longer, no one would have felt pressure to try to get it done and so on the last day everyone would realize time is up and the videos wouldn't be good. Were it any shorter, no one would have had time to produce a quality video. It was very helpful that we could stay after school any day to edit, we could come in on the weekends, and we could come in before school.
My group's video, The Ticket, is at the top of this post. It is about a boy who finds a lottery ticket and then has to decide what he should do with it.
Enjoy!
