The five second film that we were asked to create was surprisingly difficult to plan because it only allowed a short time frame to tell a story. I chose to use a video that I had previously filmed because within my final major I wish to use old footage captured by members of my family. I think that this was a good starting point to experiment with the use of old footage that might not have been intended for this use. I wanted to try and manipulate the footage to create a new story.
My five second video features three characters who are directing themselves towards the cameras making faces and moving in peculiar ways. I decided on these pieces of footage because their body movements and facial expressions introduce them as characters, in my final major project I hope to be able to introduce the subject "characters" in the correct way.
The purpose of my FMP is to develop and present all of the skills that I have learnt during the two year of the course. I have had multiple problems whilst creating a documentary before so this time I would like to prove that I can overcome problems and produce a good piece of film. I would like to use this project also to challenge myself into researching in-depth, creating a piece that is memorable, and using the resources that are available to me to fully plan this project and production.
Promises to myself:
- Use the resources and equipment available to me to achieve the best results.
- Do not allow work to pile up and complete work at my highest standard.
- Look for a solution to every problem.
