Last week CAP hosted around 14 foreign exchange students from England. During their stay we were assigned a project where we had to make a 60 second film in the one week. The catch is that we had to use a random prop. Ours were these huge, gross, disgusting feet.
When we first saw the prop we got we were all freaked out. If the feet look horrible in the film, they looked even worse in real life. Then, we had to start brainstorming for out video. It took awhile, but eventually we all agreed on an idea.
The premise is that there is a new girl who has normal feet and everyone else has the weird feet. The new girl thinks that her new class is strange and they think that she is strange.
From this project I learned how to crop the screen on final cut pro. I didn't know how to do that before and I think it is a good skill to know. I also learned how important it is to plan your script in advance (ours didn't have the greatest detail which made filming difficult) and how important it is to take multiple shots (we had to go back and redo one or two shots and some we didn't have time to redo so we just made the best with what we had).
I thought this project was pretty fun and I also liked how it was different from everything else we've done. Originally I thought we would not finish, but we did, and I am happy with the results.
A list of our shots:
-Setting the scene that this is a classroom. We are trying to make everything seem normal.
-The new girl comes in and seems a little bothered.
-The class sees the new girl and seems bothered/grossed out. Sorry that the camera is a little shaky.
-Close-up of the new girl's face. She is really freaked out now.
-Shots of the gross feet.
-Girl's face being freaked out.
-More feet.
-The new girl's "normal" feet.
-The class being freaked out about the girl.
-The teacher introducing the new girl.
-The teacher's weird feet and then the new girl's "normal" feet.
-A student asking the new girl what is wrong with her feet.
-The new girl being totally freaked out.
