Movie


In AP US History we were assigned to do a project about anything in history. Me and Rog decided to make a Vietnam movie. We decided to make it accurate and went to uncle stan's military surplus to get some supplies. We asked the guy about some fatigues that we could find for our movie. He proceeded to get us fatigues worn by marines in the vietnam war. tight right? Well then we got some vietnam era grenades, and guns. The movie was turning out really legit and we couldn't wait to shoot.

Today we shot the first little bit, and lets just say it didn't turn out very well. It took us about 45 minutes for everyone to get ready, then we went out and shot for about an hour, and got nothing done. It didn't help that the cameraman didn't know how to film anything and any good scenes we would have had, turned out bad cause he did a crappy job of filming.

Besides that people just weren't focused and it was extremely unorganized. We didn't have the part we were filming written out and were just kind of making it up as we went. This seriously hindered the whole experience. I feel like once get a completely clear idea of what we want, it will be much easier to get on camera but until then......
