Sweded

A sweded movie is the short and summary version of popular pop-culture films using limited budgets so a majority of time props are handmade.

The term ‘sweded’ became popular after the release of the film ‘Be Kind Rewind’ which focuses around a DVD rental store where an employee’s friend accidently erases the content of all the videos in the store leaving the two, to hastily recreate the films in a ‘sweded’ style using cheap special effects.

The basis of our group swede was a clip from a TV show called ‘Cutting It’

Here are two attempts; 

Location and Risk Assessment

Location

Here’s the location video for the Drama Theatre which will be used for the basis of the shoot.

 Location pictures of an outside location that can be used for the scenes with the dead body.

The scenes of the body from establishing shots or long shots will be shot here because the location is quite isolated and surrounded by trees making it a perfect place for a body to be dumped.

Here is a closer look at the location where the body will be shown from a close up - the area is isolated and overcrowded with bushes and plants where the body can be covered up. 

Benefits of the location: quite isolated so no distractions or noises whilst filming, a lot of natural light for shooting and the background is plain with no posters in it so focus is solely on the body.

Drawbacks of the location: location alongside with weather will make shoot very windy which may interfere with shooting and there may be some dangers surrounding the location as plants are surrounded by water which has no barrier around it.
