Foundations Final Project

My film is about a man whose first video camera breaks. He relives all his old memories through the home movies and his first films that the broken camera captured years ago. I filmed in my grandmother’s ancient basement to give the film an old fashion feel. I also used my father and cousin as actors because I didn’t have access to real actors, and they suited the roles well. I actually destroyed the camera in the film. It was an already broken camera i used in middle school and 9th grade to shoot my own films so I thought it was fitting. As a matter of fact, I have the shattered camera sitting in my dorm room. All of the “home movie” footage is actually my family’s. Luckily the old tapes were converted to DVD’s several years ago so i just ripped the discs to get all the old footage. Overall, I am happy with the film. I also can’t wait to show my family all our old footage and see how we’ve all grown up so much.
