Sweded

Sweded is the summarized recreation of popular pop- culture films using limited budgets and a camcorder. The process is called swedeing Upon completion, the process has been sweded. It comes from the film, “Be Kind Rewind” as the character Jerry accidentally erases all the videotapes at the rental store so the pair remake all of the movies themselves. These became so popular with customers and they were told that they took longer to arrive and costed more as they came from Sweden. This is why they are referred to as “sweded”.

This is our version:

In our version, we used shots such as wide shot, close up, medium, high angle and low angle shots. For props, we drew on pieces of cardboard, for example; a dinosaur, a helicopter and gates. The arrangements were; Sam on camera and Gabriel, Yoseph, Cesare and I acting. To rein-act the helicopter flying into the scene, we drew the set on the cardboard and the helicopter, and made helicopter noises whilst playing the intro music. This added humour to our piece and was enjoyable to make.
