I wanted to make a movie with it, and my Dad decided to do a scramble film with me. A scramble film is a film where you have different aspects you have to use and a certain amount of days to finish it in. I drew a genre, line, and prop, out of a hat. The genre I had to use was horror. The line I had to include in it was ''I believe that is mine". Finally, the prop I had to use, was a gator Head. My first idea was to have the gator head just be an extra, but then it came to me to use the gator head as the main villain. I made a storyboard for the film. In original plan for the scenes where the gator head chases the little girl, the gator head prop was going to be hung by a string. My Dad and Mom pointed out that it would would be hard to do it that way. I finally decided to do it the way you see in the film. After that we started filming.
My dad would give me pointers on the shots. The hardest scene to shoot was probably the first scene. It was hard because there wasn't enough light in the playhouse, and it took a few takes to get my sister to cooperate. After I was done filming, I edited it almost all by myself, including the shot where the gator head disappears. My dad burned it onto a disc, and my family and I watched it together. If you haven't seen The Mystic Gator Head, here it is. Enjoy!
