Filmmaking at MST

So we are now two classes in and the idea for this Fall's Filmmaking movie is starting to get some legs. The first class was a good start, we went over some technical apsects of cinematography and filmed everyones slates. After going over different types of genres and hearing what everyones favorite movies are, there was a slight bump in the road when it came to what kind of movie would be made. So we threw out some ideas for potential movies and moved on to the next class.

The second class was alot more productive. Again we started out going over some of the logistics of film. Then it was time to film some sides. We had a little of everything, a side from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the series), Alex Mulray and the stolen HeART and Jacob's Ladder (censored of course). This was a good learning experience and might end up finding it's way onto the special features of the DVD. Then came the "pitch" by Julian. He wrote out the first few pages of his film which came from an idea we proposed of everyone being the last one's on earth. After reading it over everyone seemed to be hooked and we might be looking at a potential Post-Apocalyptic film???
From there the ball started rolling and we got some good stuff going, from the why to the where to who everyone is. Everyone began building there characters and the interactions they all have with eachother and now Ron and Julian are working together to hammer out a script to present this Saturday. This movie is beginning to sound intense and thought provoking.
