For my final video assignment of the week, i chose to do the “Viral Video Re-enactment” worth 3.5 stars. This seemed like a very fun assignment to do. Since my other two video assignments didn’t involve The Wire, this was perfect. The hardest part of this assignment was deciding which scene from the three episodes we watched this week to choose from. I ended going with the scene where Marlo shoots Devonne. Now, this may seem like a weird pick but i based it on the fact this scene changes everything. Once Avon finds out Marlo killed Devonne, he tells Stringer and that’s when they both realize that this terriotorial thing with Avon is not going to stop. Here’s what i did!

Filming: 

My friends who live on College Ave had the perfect porch to film from. It kind of looked similar to the actual scene. So i grabbed three of my friends and we filmed this. Now, it wasn’t easy to make this EXACTLY how it was in the show, but i tried. My friend who played Marlo ended up coming from behind a car because the side of the house had construction and it didn’t flow well with the scene. Now, keep in mind that this isn’t the best production. We’re just college students who have smart phones. After we ran through this about 4 times we filmed it and i later uploaded it to youtube. That’s really the whole process to be honest. There wasn’t much to it!
