Sellout

My final project in e-Comm was to make a short film. 5-7 minutes long. My group decided on Carson’s script about a store getting all of its harvest cheddar SunChips robbed. We don’t have a tag line because taglines are dumb. We kept in mind the shots and angles possible while revising the script and had some good ideas. We finished revising the story, adding an ending that made sense, and got started filming at Goodcents.

Our first day of filming at the location was a bust. We food establishing shots, but all of our dialogue ended up being worthless due to loud background noise and talking. We scrapped that footage and returned a second day, re-filming everything and getting more scenes on camera. We still had about a third left to go, so we went back for a third time. We got the rest of our shots done that day, (jack and carson couldn’t make it) and carson and I got started editing.

 I was one of the two editors for the film - carson was the other, and jack was the color corrector. I edited my half of the film fairly quickly, and Carson improved what he already had significantly. I learned how to overlay different footage onto another as if it was a computer screen, which is very useful. That’s about all I learned though.

After editing, I suggested the name ‘sellout’ and everyone else agreed. So I did that. I came up with the font as well, and made the outro.

Overall, I’m very happy with the outcome. A great note to end the year on.
