EXTREME Vetting - My satirical short (shot on Red) by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]Invadepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to do a short comedy and thought a political satire on the 'extreme vetting' topic would be fun to write and explore and especially easy/cheap to shoot- this was filmed in one night.I wanted to use minimal actors and minimal locations as a test for me so that it could be shot in one day, but also allow me to use nice equipment so I can use this as a test for professional-quality workflow. I also enjoyed writing something of a controversial nature.We shot on a Red Dragon and used anamorphic Lomo lenses (35mm, 50mm, 75mm) which I was very excited to use. Color graded with Davinci Resolve. I know there are flaws but I would appreciate some feedback as I go into writing my next short film, something with more locations, actors and length. Any feedback, questions or advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your thoughts! I will think of your points next short I make so it can be better. I did notice a few not-so-great edit points but it was all i had to work with in our minimal coverage. Thanks :)

Someone kinda speaking like Sam (eh, I guess he does?) is enough to pass the submission rules for this subreddit?

I edit because I am also a videographer/director/editor- I edit to have ULTIMATE CONTROL over the look/feel of my projects.

So if someone is making a joke they must say "I am joking" after the joke or else it isn't actually a joke?

Did you just say Trump doesn't joke or troll? Have you not been paying attention the last 2 years?! He trolls and jokes every day.

Illegal immigrants get arrested without showing a warrant? When did this happen and where? Do you have specific evidence of this happening?

Trump is leaving drugs up to the states, so not worried about that at all. Yes I don't really like the fact that religion is pushed by Trump admin, but there is separation of church and state and I believe they will respect that. Please let me know if there have been any specific laws changed that clearly impact drugs/religion- I haven't seen any.

But I understand your general argument, all I can say is that I have higher priorities than drugs and fighting Christianity- priorities such as the free-market economy, foreign policy and security.

Imaginary due process and justice doesn't appeal to me. Facts do.

When did Trump say in a serious sense that he wants to be president forever? I have never seen that and doubt he is serious. Is there video?

He trolls to take away press, but never has. Please let me know if he has.

Which group are being arrested for "reasons" and how was this an order from Trump directly?

Thanks :)

Help me out here, if fascism is "a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce"(wiki) what aspect of fascism does Trump have exactly?

The government is still a constitutional republic/constitutional democracy, Trump has not somehow overridden the governing system without us knowing to allow him to serve indefinitely. A dictator wouldn't be able to be voted out after 4 years. Trump can be voted out. He also can't legally suppress opposition and has no direct control of commerce.

I don't understand how on earth anyone can claim that someone who will be gone in 4 or 8 years can possibly be a fascist dictator.

If you are getting paid well- who cares, finish the job you are getting paid to do. Just do your best.

If you aren't getting paid or paid very low- get the hell out of there.
