A Short (Tongue-in-Cheek) Instructional Video

As a group project, we were to compose a short story, and then shoot it, edit it and finish it, all working together. My group was me plus Gilbert and Michael. Gilbert had the initial idea, but we worked together to refine it, to each add our own personal touches and to make it more workable in our short time frame. We had only one class period to work it all out, then one 2-hour period to use the camera equipment. We raced through the shooting process, and still we were the last ones finished that night. We discovered that some of us had difficulty remembering lines in front of the camera, so we had to improvise a bit when we got into the editing process. We had fun pulling it together and adding crazy touches after the scenes were cut together.
