Researching Short Films on YouTube




Found after searching "viewpoint short films" on YouTube



I watched this short film a second time over, this time muted and it has some really nice cinematography and shots.

Group Meeting Monday 4th of August

Group Meeting Monday 4th August:

Refined Ideas down to:

Viewpoint:
Child Point of View
Selfie

Atmosphere:
Compilation Video - Simple
Group of Teenagers exploring Museum

We planned to go and film the Compilation video, Child POV and parts of the Selfie video on the morning of Wednesday August 6th and then the Group of Teenagers video and the remaining of the Selfie video on Saturday August 9th.

After researching and watching short films and the videos made by the Semester One SMC stream we discovered successful and unsuccessful aspects of the video that we mutually decided to avoid or ensure we adhere to.

Such as:
A length of 1min to 1:30min as the videos we watched that were any longer became slightly boring or too long which lost the attention of the audience.
Connecting shots-don't have any shots that feel unnecessary or pointless
Motifs are good way to portray ideas in such a short time
Repetition is also a good way to get ideas to settle with the audience in such a short timeframe
Child POV - laughter, running shots
Sound Effects are a great addition to the overall portrayal of atmosphere

Cable Car Museum Visit

Here are just a few of the experimental footage taken while at the cable car museum









Group Brainstorm

Georgia Evans, Skye Hampton, Lauren McBride, Rochelle Treymane

Ideas formed from group meeting Tuesday 29th July:

Viewpoint
-Child's point of view - using low angles
-"Let me take a selfie" video - humor

Atmosphere
-Young adults having fun in the cable car museum - simplicity
-Target audience of students in Wellington - accessible - cheap - perceptions of the cable car museum as "boring" shattered - get to the action/conclusion fast - vine concept.
