Tom and His Film - Short Mockumentary

Ohai. Been nearly a month since I've come on the forums. Here's a short mockumentary I made during the Shanghai Student Film Festival. Part of the 8 hour film challenge, in which students make a film in 8 hours. All details, including genre, location, group members, theme, and other requirements are not revealed to the students until challenge day.

My group ended up with 'regeneration' as our theme, 'mockumentary' as our genre, and the 1933 Shanghai Slaughterhouse as our location. Other requirements included:
- Film must contain the line 'I don't believe you'.
- Film must have some sort of reference to a fruit.

Tom, an overly cocky and amateur film director leads his equally incompetent crew in making a 'horror' film. Unfortunately for Tom, his short temper does not gain the support of his team.


Directed by Tom (International School of Beijing)
Edited by Shawn (Shanghai American School Puxi)
Cinematography by Ya Chun (Shanghai American School Puxi)
Story and Script by Nick (Shanghai American School Puxi)

Looks pretty nice. But your story line and voice acting sucked.

Entertaining, did you have to buy all your equipment and such?
I would suggest maybe mics for better audio.

Also, who was filming if you only had 4 people in your group?

Lol yeah, we were given equipment by the school, which sucked since they didn't provide any lighting or mics at all.

We also used another group's person to film that one scene where all four of us were in it.
