My Sweded Film

What is a Sweded Film?
A sweded film is an amateur recreation of a famous film using limited resources and technology. They are much shorter than the original film and use budget props to mimic the source material.

How to make a Sweded Film:

• Before we started we had to decide on a popular film that we would base our sweded film on. As a group, we decided on Titanic. 
• We then selected 5 iconic scenes from the film that we would attempt to recreate with the limited resources that were available to us. 
• After deciding on the scenes, we then needed to find actors that were willing to feature in our sweded film.
• We proceeded to film our 5 chosen scenes using an iPhone, by recording one scene at a time. 

After all the scenes were filmed, we then began editing the scenes by joining all of them together to create one video and then adding in the famous 'Titanic music' to correspond with our scenes.

Analysis of our Sweded Film:

The first scene that we chose to recreate was the scene where Jack wins a ticket to go on the Titanic. This scene was used to demonstrate the excitement of being able to go on the Titanic, while also outlining the beginning of Jack's journey. The second scene that we filmed was the scene where Jack and Rose meet for the first time, illustrating how they are very different from each other as Jack is an ordinary working class boy whereas Rose had been brought up in an upper class family. The third scene that we chose to film is where Jack and Rose are standing at the front of the deck of the ship whilst imagining that they were flying. We chose this scene as it is the most iconic scene in the whole movie and is also easy to reenact. The fourth scene we filmed is during the sinking of the ship, when Jack struggles to hold on any longer and lets go. We chose to film this scene as it is yet another iconic scene in the movie as it shows heartbreak and emotion while demonstrating how much the characters love each other. The fifth and final scene that we chose to film is of Rose as an old lady, telling her granddaughter her story of when she was on the Titanic. We chose this scene as it summed up the movie and showed how even after all those years Rose never stopped loving Jack. To conclude, I believe my group were successful in creating our sweded film as we were able to effectively sum up the film in 5 scenes and with the limited materials that were available for our use.
