Making Scary Movies

This project has been one of the best projects I did. It's hard to invent and perform, but you can have a good time with friends and also it improves English.

First the teacher told us that we had to make a scary film because we were in Halloween. To have an idea of what elements we have to include in our films we watched "Vincent", the short film of Tim Burton. Then, we started to write the draft.

When we had to write the draft all of us provide a little story, so we did a mixture of all the good ideas of each person. So that's why we have a lot of magic creatures like the vampire, the ghost or the zombies, but the most difficult part of the writing was the scrip. It's very long because you have to put all the indications of the story and all the dialogues, also for us was more difficult because during the shooting of the film we improvised some phrases, so we had to do it using the sound.

The part that I enjoyed the most was performing. It's a little bit difficult because in this type of films you has to be very serious and, when you see a friend dress up as a zombie and doing zombie sounds you laugh a lot and you have to repeat the same scene again. But I think that we did it the best that we could and all of us have an important role in the story. Also is important to speak clear, loud and the body language, we needed to repeat a lot of scenes because of the sound.

At the end we finished the film, edit it and then we showed it in class. This project has been a little bit hurt but the important thing is the personal satisfaction that you feel when you see the film and you like it. Here is the link to our film
