For this assignment, we had to create a swede video of a scene from The Wire. This was actually so much fun! Luckily, some of my LLC members enjoy acting, so they volunteered to be in the video! We all sat together and I showed them some of my favorite scenes from The Wire. They picked Bubbles stealing drugs, which I loved.

Here is the original video.

We decided to be creative, instead of stealing drugs, we decided to steal sweet tea (which they do among the floor). We found a good place on campus to do this scene, by the gym directly behind Alvey. Instead of the drug dealer rapping, one of them had the idea to use a song from Frozen, which was hilarious. Once we got all our prompts ready, the wire and so on, it was time to shoot.

This part was extremely funny, we all just couldn’t stop laughing. We attempted to get different angles, but it is kind of hard with just one iPhone.

Process:

After recording, I uploaded the videos into iMovie and arranged them appropriately. I did edit some of the sound to reduce the background noise.

I picked the newscast theme and did the title and credits in that format.
