Time Based Media Presentation

By Jasper Cheyney

What was the brief?

The Brief was to create a short film piece that is between 15-20 seconds long.

Must contain a minimum of 30 edits.

Must be as dynamic and as action packed as possible.

The story can be based on anything.

Must be copyright free.

You cannot use a continuous soundtrack.

Research & InspirationCity of God (Movie)

City of God is a Brazilian Crime Drama film that is set in 2002.

It contains short fast edits.

These edits often have black scenes in-between each edit for increased pace.

The edits match the theme of the film, fast paced gang fighting with quick action

scenes.

They show two different scenes and the progression until they both meet. (See video)

Another Brazilian Short Film by the Youtubers SteelvideoblogGup who film Freerunning.

They added a black and white filter on their film for added effect.

Dual camera angles (Dynamic)

Dynamic adds a more entertaining immersive experience

Close up and far shots also add dynamic effects

Steady professional camera angles (to make it non amateur)

Extremely high quality audio files

Advert contains a variety of camera angles including panning.

Seamless Edits to maintain fluency in areas needed.

Chosen Idea & Why

My chosen theme for my short film is ‘How to make a cup of tea’

I chose this theme as it is non extreme which allows me to focus on dynamic camera

angles...

Challenge myself and make something ‘boring’ entertaining.

Has a lot of stages in the making suitable for numerous edits.

I love tea.
