SWEDING OF PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Pursuit Of Happiness Sweding: 

The film we chose for our sweding was the 'Pursuit of Happiness' for different reasons. First of all, as a group we discussed many films and we came to an agreement that most of us were all comfortable with the film and knew it well enough to act it out. Another reason was that we loved the brilliant overview determination message it sends to the viewers throughout the film. Finally we knew the film it very well and some of our group knew most of the words before looking into the script so we decided to do 'Pursuit of Happiness'. The three different scenes we chose to film was based on our favorite scenes, what we thought were the most powerful, inspirational scenes in the film and the scenes that portrayed the clear overall message of the film. It was very easy to find actors for this film as we used all the people in our group to play different part and actors in the film, which in the end worked out well and was organized. It was also easy to learn the script, as most of us knew the words of the scene before, therefore we only needed to have a quick look over the scene and look up the script for one scene. While filming there were things we did well. For example, we worked very well as a good and the chemistry was good which I think reflected in our acting. On the other hand, there are a few parts in the sweding, which the filming isn't very good. Actor’s heads are been half cut when we should be able to see their face. I take this as a lack of experience in filming but it's only a mistake that we will now learn from for next time that in the long run will be a positive. Also, during the editing I think the music is great and fits perfectly with the film. It really enhances the surreal feeling Chris gets when receiving the job and letting the feeling sink in.
