Shots Quiz (the joke that became too real)

One of our first assignments in AICE Media this year was the Shots quiz. We started the assignment on Monday after learning about the different shots, angles, and how to use them effectively. The project was supposed to be 15 photos focused on inanimate objects as characters, using shots and angles to convey elements of their personalities. 

Me and my partner Santi were having trouble brainstorming ideas, but during the process we were joking about a funny scene from the show Dance Moms. Santi had made a reference i didn't understand and had to explain the clip to me. In the clip one of the moms is yelling "Empty Chair Do a SOLO!!!" While me and my partner laughed it off at first but as we discussed it the joke became more and more real. We ended up coming up with a story about an empty chair rolling away from anyone who attempts to sit on it, and eventually running away to be free.

Although our planning stage was officially over, the production stage was very difficult due to our schedules. Both me and my partner were busy the day it was due (which was also our school's open house). While we had to stay at school until 9 promoting our club, we took the time after to quickly shoot our project. Overall it came out pretty well and im proud of our work despite the time constraints. Im happy that we ended up with a silly and well made project i would be proud to show anyone. 

Anyway feel free to see it here
