Dear Readers,
Yes, I am writing a normal post this time. Also, yes, I have news
today.
Today, our teacher Andrew was not here today. However, we had a substitute teacher (egads!) His name was Jay. He was cool.
First, we looked over some books he had brought in and taked a little about Japanese art (Joseph was having the time of his life).
Then, we started to work on the task at hand, making a (drumroll please) MOVIE! Yes! In the entire history of Art Starz,this is the second movie we have made together (the first was “The Secret of Williams Well”). We talked about what type of movie we wanted to make, and we decided on a “haunted house” movie. (Sidenote: The other choices were an army training camp movie, and an alien movie.)
The first thing we did for it was start to create a creepy enviroment and or set in a corner of the big room downstairs. I’m telling you- it looked awesome! Sam said “It’s as if tables and carboard took over that corner.” (Note: I might be paraphrasing) In 30 minutes we made that thing so cool!
Secondly, Tom (an awesome librarian, like all of the librarians at the Rochambeau branch) did an acting exersize with us. We played a game of slow motion tag, and if you are tagged, you have to explode in slow motion too. It was really fun. Then we did a freezing game.
Thirdly we ACTually started to act.
(SPOILER ALERT– ONLY READ IF YOU HAVE THE INTENTION OF RUINING THE MOVIE FOR YOURSELVES!)
Here is a synopsis of each scene:
SCENE 1: outside of library (outside of haunted house) — Sam, Aaron, Joseph — Sam and Aaron are randomly walking home, when this creepy old man in a green cape comes up to them. They aren’t frightened when he tells them about this haunted house. He dares them to spend the night in it. They agree.
SCENE 2: big room (haunted house’s basement) — Sam, Aaron, Jay — Sam and Aaron walk in to the basement, they are scared when they see a creepy person, when only has one arm.
SCENE 3: big room, set (decrepid area of basement) — Sam, Aaron, Joseph — Sam and Aaron walk into a decrepid corner of the basement, when they hear tapping. They inspect it, and the creepy old man appears.
SCENE 4: big room (random hallway) — Sam, Aaron — Sam and Aaron basically run into eachother, 3 times.
SCENE 5: hall to librarians section of basement (haunted hallway) — “Sam”*– Walking up a haunted hallway. Scary.
SCENE 6: stair 3 in back of library (scary stairway) — Tom (the awesome librarian), Aaron, Sam — Sam and Aaron walk up a staircase, where at the end the see some kind of monster. (Sidenote: None of us had ever been i that staricase before. It was so much fun!
)
*It was filming from “Sam’s point of view”.
Anyways it was super fun!
Jay, I dedicate this post to you. Now for my features:
Trivia: What element is “W” in the periodic table?
Pun: What do you call a chicken’s ghost that is mischevious? A poultry-giest (Seemed apropriate for this kind of movie)
