Rashomon

So for our next project here in art 105, we are to team up with one other person to create a movie. However, its not as simple as you think. However many people are in your group, you owe thirty seconds per person of a recreation of a movie. The movie chosen is Rashomon, an old Japanese film from the 50's I believe. The person I will be working with for this Project is Jared A. and we have to do a 1 minute re-enactment from the movie Rashomon. Sound simple? Its not.

Well, the pro's: You get to work with someone and it is helpful. The con's are its not that simple recreating a movie that has already been done. Getting the same exact camera angles are going to be hard, Panning and following a person is also going to be tough when you don't have the proper equipment. The good news is I found the perfect location of where we can film our movie, my complex. The layout of my apartment works perfectly as it is a modern day version of the set in my opinion. Also for the scene of when the young Japanese woman is crying, the backdrop of my parking area is perfect for that scene. It is perfect and works out. Now its just a matter of getting the actors we need and the help we need. We shall see how things will go. Jared is scouting out the actors while I prep my place :) Well I guess thats all for now.
