BLK homework: Sweded
'Sweded' referred to when a film had been erased and recreated. They were usually unedited, with only one take per scene, and were also said to have been from Sweden so that they could increase renting prices and give a reason for long waiting times. Now it is typically a slang term for a cheap spoof or remake of any film or trailer. These remakes are usually about 3 to 5 minutes long, though people can 'swede' an entire film.
The theme of sweding also relates to film history, in that the remakes are representations of people's memories of films (and memories that arise through films).
Examples of Sweded films:
Idea for our sweded film:
I think that we could do a swede of something like twilight, because the props would be relatively simple, and, as most swedes, it would be pretty funny if made correctly. It would also be possible to do it in school.
