3. The Brief & Our Rules
™ Brief
™ To create a 2-3 minute video about a suburb of London
in the year 2054
™ Our Rules
™ Black & white
™ Only outdoor locations
™ At least two tracking shots
16. Form: Style & Technique
™ Narrative/Experimental
™ Techniques include:
™ Black and white
™ Quick editing
™ Tilt shot
™ First person view
™ Panning shots
™ Zoom shots
™ Tracking shots
17. Concept & Content
™ Concept
™ Our main concept of the our short film follows a character
who is trying to break a harsh reality through his dreams
™ Content
™ Gain a lot of dark atmospheric shots
™ Desolate/rundown locations
™ Eerie feel
™ Make it feel isolated
™ We also need to light, bright, cheerful and beautiful shots for
the dream sequence
18. Approach
™ Our main approach to the film was not necessarily to
find a dark location in which we could use as the harsh
reality, but to find a slightly abandoned building to
shoot around as we could later add the desired feel of
the shots while we were editing.
19. Evaluation
§ With more time we could have better developed our narrative
and planned our shots
§ More and better access to locations with different shots
§ Mix a better atmospheric sound track
§ Had better footage with better camera and stabilizer tripod
§ Also realized once we were editing that our shadows were in
some of the shots, so next time be wary of the sun and our
position
§ Added futuristic visual effects
