What is a Sweded Film?

For our media summer media project we were tasked with creating a Sweded movie trailer. My group and me have created ours, we just need to edit it. But for those who do not what a sweded film is, let me explain. A 'sweded' film is a film that is usually filmed with a camcorder and is made with a extremely low budget. You can't use special effects and all music had to be made by you, you cant download anything or borrow from anywhere. They also don't normally last more than four minutes.

The idea came from a film called Be kind rewind. In this film the main character Jerry accidentally erases all the video tapes in the store he works in so he and his friend remake all the movies themselves. These films become so popular they explain the delays by telling people they come from Sweden, hence the title sweded films. For some reason, the idea really took off online and you can find most movies sweded online.

My group, which consisted of Me, Fabian and Jude decided to swede the trailer to Home Alone. We shot at Jude's house in several different locations around his house, it took us about four hours to get two minutes footage. We also had help from several friends who acted for us. These were Greg, Max, Mitchell and Thomas.

Expect the Sweded Home Alone trailer to be uploaded onto both Youtube and this blog soon!

Jack!
