Last year I took History of Cinema as an elective. One of our projects was to create a basic plot for a hypothetical war movie and to create and design a scene for it. I worked with a partner and together we decided on a plot. While I worked on the mini-movie set she wrote a wonderfully written plot overview. This scene is supposed to take place in one of the forests in Vietnam during the Vietnam war. I tried to create forest-like atmosphere in the model by making a few trees out of toothpicks, paint and dried sponges, and designing a small waterfall out of paper-mache, paint, small rocks, and silicon. One of the requirements of the project was to include two of the characters in the set. With this I molded out two figures out of air-dry clay. One of the figures is supposed to represent the protagonist of our "film," a young American soldier, while the other figure is supposed to represent the young Vietnamese villager he falls in love with.
