interactive arts edward scissorhands piece

week 1
This week I was set into a group of 6 people and we were told about sweded movies which you can find on youtube. Each group were then given a film title which they were then supposed to go off and in the next 2 days create a movie based upon the sweded type.
My group was given Edward Scissorhands as a film, this was exciting for our group because it is a fun, entertaining film with quite alot of funny, action filled scenes in it.
We decided that because of the short space of time that was alocated to us it would be quicker and more resourceful if done through puppetry, the comedy factor and and entertainment of the film would also be far better done this way as the film is not very serious.
The idea of a sweded film is for it to not last very long. It is like a shortened version, as if like an advert for a film, and so this is what we did.
Our group picked out the most important or most classic scenes from the film and acted these out with our hand made puppets. the scenes that we picked out were where the Avon lady goes to Edward's house trying to sell him Avon and discovers him there and then through sorrow takes him back to her house. The next scene is where he cuts the Avon lady's hair and then starts cutting the women from the neibourhood's hair as well. It is there where he discovers the Avon lady's daughter and falls in love with her. Folowing are the funny scenes where Edward sits on a water bed and accidently pops it with his big scissors, and then there is the scenes where edward is cutting the hedges in the gardens for the neibourhood and then finally is the scene where the Avon lady's daughters boyfriend and Edward are fighting and Edward kills him. And so then the Avon lady's daughter walks outside to the neibourhood to tell the village mob against Edward that both of them killed each other so that they would leave Edward alone and that is the end of the story.
All of these scenes together made a good depiction of how the film actually goes. we had fun with it and the audience enjoyed watching it. it was a fun project to do and it also helped the people within the group to get along better
