The Re-enactment project

We decided to go with the historic moment of when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the whole situation. Some people say that they didn't land on the moon, and that it was fake etc. We've decided to use this to our advantage and add humour into the project. The famous quote "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" will be used, not necessarily in traditional fashion.
I'll take you through it all. This is my vision.
The video starts off with a rocket getting ready for lift off, and eventually it takes off. Our Astro-nots are excited in the rocket, flying all over the place back to front, upside down, kind of like little children when they can see the disneyland sign from the motorway.
They look out of their window and they can see the moon, in this case the moon is their disneyland. The rocket hovers over the moon, and the astro-nots stumble out of the rocket, leaving a bum print instead of a footprint. One of the astro-nots takes out a camera and starts taking pictures, they even take a "selfie". The oblivious two burst out into histerical laughter when they realised that they were recording a video instead of taking a picture. They were so happy that the dopier of the two releases the phone from his grasp and watches the phone fly away, whilst still recording.

My vision may be slightly compromised when coming to edit and produce the video, but the message we are trying to get across will do so. Production didn't cos much, we only spent money on making the costumes which consisted of tin foil, cling film and cello-tape. The video overall did get our message across. Audio levels could of been tweaked more but we wanted to give the audience the impression that this was a very cheap production, so costumes won't be up to scratch, acting certainly wont, every aspect of this video was deliberately made to look mediocre.
