Students produce films for class

Junior Dainen Bocsary plays Edward Cullen in “Guylight,” one of the films by Film-Analysis students

Film Analysis students are producing films to be shown on Monday, April 5 in the Eagle Theatre.

True Life: Addicted to Hip-Hop Dance

Seniors Scott Abramo, Kelly Clark and Tim Vanneman will be producing a mockumentary about a young man who dances hip-hop uncontrollably.

“We were thinking of ideas, and this one just came up because Scott is a good dancer,” Tim said.

The young man, who will be played by Scott, will go through many difficult situations throughout the film, which eventually result in his going to hip-hop rehab.

Scott will play himself, Tim will play his best friend Raymond, and Kelly will portray Butch, the director of the rehab center.

Guylight

Seniors Elliott Davis and Austin Hofschield are basing their project off of the novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer and its subsequent movie adaptation.

“It’s the man’s version of the vampire love story,” Elliott said.

Elliott and Austin hope to maintain some aspects of the original story but also aim to add humor to their film.

“It will be full of action and guy humor, but will stay true to Twilight fans by integrating some hilarious inside jokes,” Elliott said.

The cast will feature senior Katherine Little as Bella Swan, junior Dainen Boscary as Edward Cullen, senior Scott Stephens as Jacob Black and many more.

Senior Luc Delamare will be filming and editing the scenes for the project. Sophisticated film-editing technology will add professionalism to the film.

The Color of Silence

Seniors Zoe Winner and Laura Raley are utilizing experimental film in the production of their project. According to Zoe, in experimental film, there is no specific genre and the creators have artistic freedom.

The film is roughly based on “The Breakfast Club” and will feature a teenage girl who struggles with the sudden death of her friend. The girl blames another girl in her grade for the accident as a result.

The timeline of the film will be “skewed,” opening with the climax and then going back in time.

“It is meant to make you think something different will happen,” Zoe said. “It all connects in the end.”

Through their project, they hope to convey the message that making mistakes allows people to learn some of the best lessons in life.
