So, I have to make a short film for one of my Summer School papers. This is somewhat new territory for me; it has been a while since I have filmed something with the express purpose of showing others. And even the last time I did so, I did not even do the filming but only the editing! So, I expect this to be an interesting challenge.
The first problem is what to make a short film on. I originally wanted to do something text-based. By this I mean I wanted to adapt a piece of theatrical text for film. However, because the finished products are going to be put on YouTube, this option is ruled out due to copyright; if they were just to be screened in class then we could get away with it under the University's copyright license. Then the thought struck me: I can adapt a story I wrote for an intermediate writing course I undertook at the University of Virginia. It is the perfect mix of sexiness and horror (at least I think so). This, then, is what I shall do.
I will make regular postings about how everything is going. In the mean-time, you can read the story I am adapting below...
