The Road Forward



The film that we are working on is called The Rooftop Legend. The film shows the roof of Seward Park Campus, which is filled with graffiti. So far for the project we have made the trailer for the film. To make the trailer we spent most of our time on the school roof capturing the pieces of graffiti that are up there. We also interviewed Jessie Pais the dean of New Design High School, one out of five schools inside Seward Park Campus and also the founder of The Roof Top Legend. After we had a good amount of footage of the roof we began putting everything together and editing what we had. We added text and music to give the film the vibe we wanted it to have. We didn't get much of an interview from Jessie Pais but we were able to use the little that we had and put it into the film to give people a better feel of what our film was going to be about.

My group and I are hoping to have all the shots of the roof and all the interviews that we need to for our film. Also we're planning to use the beat of the song that we have in our trailer Tried By 12 by East Flatbush Project. We really loved the beat, we felt like it brought the vibe that we want our film to have, but the lyrics didn't really match the "theme" of our film therefor we're planning on using the beat and recording our own song to match our film.  Hopefully by the end of the third quarter we have everything we need and all we have left to do is edit our film and make it as amazing as possible.

In order for my team members and I to get this film done we definitely have to do some planning, which we have. But making the trailer was just a small part of what we really need to do. The whole team would need to pitch in ideas and put in a lot of effort so we can make our film as good as we're picturing it to be in our mind.
