Titanic Swede powerpoint

TITANIC

Planning                                                                                                                                                                    We searched for Titanic swedes on YouTube and these are the ones we found: A Titanic Swede – YouTube, TITANIC SWEDE – YouTube and Titanic Sweded – YouTube. We thought that all used great camera angles which made it more interesting to watch. They gave us an idea  of how our swede could be more entertaining. Secondly,  we searched for the Titanic  script however, the language used was sophisticated and we wanted our swede to be funny and modern. At the beginning we wrote the directions, dialogue and  camera shots to be used however they were changed as we went along with the filming.    

                                                                                                                   Props                                                                                                                                                                                 The props we used were: ID card (necklace), jewel case, scarf, snapback, hoodie and a moustache.     

                                                                                                                                      Actresses

•Andreia – Cal

• Kellie – Rose

• Abida – Jack                    

   Technologies

•Camera, computer to edit (final cut), clip grab.

Filming                                                                                                                                                                           Our swede had no budget! We  used City & Islington’s equipment  and location to film. We filmed inside the college and outdoors since they all met our requirements.

Editing

Editing was not as complicated as we all thought it would be. It was very stressful because some scenes were very long which took a long time to edit.

Distribution

The release of our swede was by simultaneous release since the swede was available straight after the editing was finished as you posted it on YouTube. This internet release is also downloadable so that the audiences can watch it whenever and wherever they like.

Marketing

 Methods we used-

Twitter

Word of mouth
