Napoleon Dynamite Sequence

The challenge of this project was to recreate a scene from 'Napoleon Dynamite' and to edit the cuts together with Adobe Premier Pro.


To start with we went through a storyboarding process, where we had boxes and were required to sketch out the different shots and comment on the angles and the directions of the characters as they moved across the shot. I think that the sketches went well because they were accurate and proportional, but I could've improved them by adding colour.

I enjoyed working in a small team because it gave us all the chance to take part, but we still had each other for help so if I needed help there was someone else for guidance. One of the problems of filming was following the rules, for example the 180 degree rule, because we had to think carefully about the positioning of each shot so the viewer wasn't disorientated. If we were shooting again I would make only one person the cameraman so there was no confusion as to who is shooting which scene.




I organised my clips in order from Clip 18 to Clip 1, and they are in order of the way they went together to create the short film so I can drop them in easily and efficiently. The bloopers were at the bottom to add at the end.
