Hi,
I'm in an engineering school and looking for ways to improve my filmmaking skills.
I will propose to the school to help me make a short about Alcohol prevention. Alcohol is an everyday issue on campuses like ours and I think the school will like the idea. I will also try to push it and get some financing (1k would be enough for a lens, a stabilizer, sound and SD cards).
The main problem will be the acting. I was hoping to follow like 3 people during the night (which makes me think that I need to put some thought on the lighting aspect), and show how one really is after drinking too much. I'll be going for funny (drunk people are funny in the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they act) and sad (because when have trouble finding your own home, when you fall on the ground because you can't stand on your feet like an adult, etc, you look kindda pathetic).
But I don't have real actors, so i don't think they can make it look real. So I would need to make them drink before, but when drunk, I don't think I can really direct them anymore and also, i'm not sure a regular person would appreciate the idea of having people watching him drunk).
So how would you got about it ?
