Process of Movie
Define Problem
The back story of our film is all adults were drafted into a resource war and the teens were left behind and the government decided to put them into camps. We were supposed to act as if we were those kids in the camps. We were trying to communicate that these teens were left all alone and had to find resources to survive.
Research
Ms.Sara helped us by teaching us about dystopian themes and about a facist government. We learned the different dystopian themes that authors and directors used. Some of those were propaganda, society vs. man. We read 2BR02B by Kurt Vonnegut and we also read The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. Both of these pieces are great examples of dystopian societies. We also learned about the characteristics of a fascist government. Some of the things that they follow are obsession with crime and punishment, religion and government are intertwined, and supremacy of the military.
Design
Learn about dystopian themes, Create a presentation about an apocalyptic event (for Mr. Ted) and a civilization collapse (for Ms.Sara), We voted and chose our back story as a team, We got to chose our episode, In our episode group we brain stormed of what was gonna go on in our episode, We created our strory board, We typed up drafts of our screen play, We started filming, got critique,and lastly we edited and put everything together.
Present for Feed Back
For the critique Ms.Sara and Mr.Ted told us to go to the group behind us and ahead of us. We were episode 10 so we went to episode 9 and episode 1. They made us do this to make sure that our episodes flowed together and made sense.
Select Best Solution
My group had one of the hardest episodes to film since we were the last ones. We showed the audience that the water was getting contaminated and that led to people getting sick. We also decided to communicate that the people in charge of the wind turbine were procrastinating and they didn't maintain the wind turbine properly. Because of the lack of care given to the wind turbine it exploded. Our film ended with all the campers dieing because of the impact of the explosion and of the water contamination.
