60 Second Film Challenge - Spare Change

Our assignment was to create a 60-second film in our assigned groups using an object chosen randomly. My group was Maddie D, Natalie B, Olivia, and Kirin. We selected a round, translucent blue and green hemisphere and an additional object, a fake diamond ring. Originally, I wanted to do something about Olivia and Maddie being twins, because they're both gingers, but eventually we decided on a plot about a beggar woman who gives a gift to a kind student.

Our biggest challenge surfaced after our production was completed, when the sound disappeared. The sound was a vital part of our video, as the beggar woman/witch person uses a strange sound to hypnotize the students, and only the main character is immune to the powers, because of the ring. The changes in sound when she has to ring of and on is the key way of understanding our video.

I learned how to manage time effectively. Getting the script, storyboard, and shot list done early helped our group solidify our idea. Filming was done all in one day, which gave us plenty of time to edit the video.
