"The Making of Twilight New Moon" by Samantha Mercer

Making of New Moon

When the first twilight movie came out there was a mix between joy and disappointment between the fans. However, when K-AHS came out with their K-AHSlight intro, everybody loved it. So with the sequel to the Twilight movie out, we decided that a sequel to the K-AHSlight intro was necessary.

We started out watching several trailers for the movie, picking out the scenes that we thought were the funniest and most rediculous. We also really wanted to empahsize the lack of shirts in the movie, so we decided right at the beginning that whenever possible, all shirts would be off.

We tried to really emphasize certain characteristics of each character, i.e, the constant distressed look of Bella (played by Grace). We even rubbed sparkely blueberry lotion on Nick (playing Edward), to try and make him sparkle in the sunlight. We probably rubbed half the bottle onto his bare chest, but unfortunately, the sparkles did not show through the camera.

We went into the greenbelt in travis country to film, and at one point some bikers rode past, giving us very confused looks. For the bike scene, Grace rode her mini bike while Christina drove and i sat in the car next to the bike holding the camera out the window. At one point, we were getting ready to start when i looked over and there was a group of about eight children all staring directly at us. Then, as we began driving, they began following us, until eventually they got tired of watching the same scene over and over again.

Overall, filming took about four hours and then editing took almost everyday after school for a week. However, i really enjoyed working on it, and i hope you enjoyed watching it. You can see it again here
