Sweding is basically re-creating films in a short space of time with a very small budget, the named activity originating from the film "Be Kind Rewind" (2008)
Working in a relatively large group we all had to find a film we had either watched and knew or had a vague idea as to what it was about so that we could all contribute towards the end piece and feel involved.One of the initial ideas was E.T. A classic that most people have heard of or watched as well as having some great scenes to re-create on a low budget (e.g. the bike scene across the moon)
After the initial bouncing around of ideas on different films we set to making a basic shot list so that we would know which scenes needed props, as we were to set out for the scrap store later.
The scrap store was a cove of interesting things and a very useful resource for creativity.
The next day was fun we ran around campus filming various scenes, most people had a shot at acting, filming etc, we shared roles. I learnt that I hate acting in front of a camera.
Hopefully the videos will be uploaded to Vimeo soon.
