Harry Potter swede by Joel Beth Emma Melissa Emmie Jamie

At AS students have to evidence a grasp of some continuity editing principles before proceeding to the main coursework production, producing a short piece which incorporates the 180degree rule, match-on-action + shot-reverse shot. To make this prelim task a little more stimulating they were challenged to produce 'swedes', using the concept created for Michel Gondry's Jack Black vehicle, Be Kind Rewind.
This boils down to recreating famous scenes/films with zero/micro budget, presumably playing on the common UK/US usage of the Swedish as a signifier of quirkiness and self-sufficiency! (In Jason X, for instance, we see two Swedish girls out camping, and briefly chatting to Jason Voorhees before getting closer to nature in a very unfortunate way). Intertextuality being a basic part of sweded film, without having seen the film being sweded you'll find it rather tricky to follow what Stuart Hall referred to as the 'preferred reading'!!!
These productions are part of the experimentation which builds up skills and confidence before embarking on the rather more rigorously assessed main productions! Most of these have been exported as highly compressed files, so picture quality may be limited!
