Fire and Ice Final Video
A Tale of Revenge
This is a post that is long overdue, and by long overdue I mean we finished this video three months ago. But it turned out pretty well I thought, so here we go.
For our semester final in Entertainment, our teacher gave us a Three Day Film Challenge: three days to plan, shoot, and edit a 90 second short film with certain elements we had to include (ice and the phrase "cold as ice"). As usual, Miranda and I immediately paired up and began brainstorming ideas. Now here's a fact about me that became extremely important and critical to our short film: I like fire. Problem is, fire is the exact opposite of ice, the required focus element of the project. But what makes a crappy story five times better? Conflict. Here we had two opposing elements, two opposing forces, and our idea for Fire and Ice was born.
So you know I like fire and conflict, but I also like writing. I took some inspiration from poems I found on the internet and wrote a voiceover to go with our idea. Miranda took it in her hands to find us some actors to play the parts and the next day, we were filming. Some conflicts arose, and no, not the good kind, like inexperienced actors and unexpected rain, but we managed to work with the conditions we were given and the next morning we were hardcore into editing. We both edited versions of the video, struggled a little with finding music, and we were done by the end of the day, very pleased with what we had accomplished. And our teacher, who hardly ever gives out compliments, said she really liked it! I deem this project a definite success!
