LET’S MAKE A MOVIE!
-SHANGHAI FILM STUDIO TOUR BY MBA 2007 CLASS

March 28, 2008, Shanghai Chedun Film Studio- 55 students of CEIBS 2007 class were gathering in a Shi Ku Men in 1930’s Shanghai architectural style, and listening carefully to their movie director Jeffery Pi, who was giving the instruction on the next scene of dancing party. For most of them, it is the first time to participate in making a movie in a real film backlot.

CEIBS Media Club launched this exciting event one month ago by opening all the roles, both acting and technical, to the 2007 class. Every student was encouraged to sign up for a particular job in the movie by simply filling the job slots designed by the club. Director, leading actor & actress, supporting roles, cinematographer, costumer, cosmetician, art director…all those hot roles were taken within only a few days. Wavey Hu and Jeffery Pi also prepared the movie script for shooting.

Media Club chose one of the best outdoor film studio, Shanghai Chedun Film studio, to shoot the movie. This film studio has almost received over hundreds of movies and TV series, including Lust Caution & Kong Fu. More than that, Media Club also rented camera, costumes and props in order to provide a more real experience.

Five-hours movie-making simulation ended up successfully. Although exhausted, hungry and cold, every participant enjoyed the process, and learned the pains under the spotlights.

The movie will be released by the end of May. A film premier and an awarding ceremony will be organized at that time. Before that, supported by Photography Club, movie trailer, stills and movie poster will be unveiled.
