The Overall plot of “American Movie” is the struggle that Mark was having while making his film. Mark started to make films since he was 14. He made 3 or 4 movies as a kid. When he got older Mark started making “Northwest”. He didn’t finish it quite yet but then He started making “Coven”. Some of the Challenges he was starting to have was lack of cast and crew.
In spite of lack of people to help him with his film, He had his uncle and other friends who loaned him money for “Covan”. He also got very creative with the camera and what he had to use. I personally think he did a great job doing what he did to make the film work on such a low budget. Sound was also very important in his film. Actually all films need to do recording after you finish production. He really couldn’t do anything without the re recording of sound in the film.
In spite of his innovative mind, Mark had lots of problems with money. He had a pretty bad drinking problem. He didn’t really plan well either. He had many problems with trying to come up with money and make the film and eat and take care of his kids. But, Mark had many strengths to help him through the rough times he was having. He was very, VERY optimistic. He never doubted that he would get his stuff done no matter what happened. He came up with Ideas really quickly just incase something happened that kept him from sticking to his original plan.
I Personally can relate to not having a lot of money and having to do things on a low budget and hanging out with my parents while they were at work and coming home on late nights with my parents. I also can relate to people flaking on me and leaving me and maybe… MAYBE a small few to do work on a project of some sort. I also can relate to being an optimist. No matter what happens sometimes, it never stays that way forever.
