.MOV Film Festival

P3T9 Boys Understand Girls from Kapaa Middle School MEDIA on Vimeo.

So, now we are getting into film making and actually are going to put our movie trailer/sitcom/animation depending what you chose into a film festival! So we have some chosen keywords: Differences Rivalry Understanding, and we thought these would connect with our audience well for multiple reasons. First of all we thought differences would connect with our audience well, because every person in the world is different, there is no same person especially with genders (Not in a gross way). Also I forgot to tell you our theme, Well our theme is about these four kids two boys and two girls, One is myself, one is Ashley, Brody, and Mele. Secondly for rivalry tons of people have had rivalries in their life at least once or twice, and that's like our main theme in general. Lastly understanding; there have been tons upon tons of times where I judged something and I didn't really understand it, it's quite a common thing and that's the whole ending about understanding and stuff.

As any good film makers we needed to have change, or learning for our characters, or some sort of implied message, so we do. Our characters have two of these, the boys in the situation experience learning when they get beaten/proven equal to the girls they understand girls can be equals and fair rivals. Also our message is about how no one gender is necessarily stronger than one another in any certain way as most things are. Those were our message, and change for our characters.

 It was a bumpy road getting our filming done, and we had a few challenges along the way. One of the biggest challenges we faced was the fact that most of the time, we could hear the AC unit or there would be a generator running. I understand this is inevitable, as we were at a school (The Kapaa elementary) filming this so some buildings still needed power. This could have been easily avoided but we were just kind of lazy and didn't refilm and just chose to mute it. So that was the story of our film making process, hope you enjoyed it, and I'll se you all in the next post!
