Narrative One Shot


i found it quite difficult to come up with a good idea for this project. My group hit on the idea of using a spiral staircase as the setting, but thinking of a narrative for that setting without it being cheesy was difficult.

The videos on the single-shot website explored some very individual and experimental ideas. I especially like the Glass Gun by Julie Hill. The way the viewer has to wait for a while until anything happpens is very nice. It is remonisant of a painting at the beginning, adnd the slow motion adds an almost romantic feel.

i have tried to incorporate the same idea in the way i have edited my one shot film. Although it doesn't give it a romantic mood, more sinister i feel. this is the reason why i have chosen the audio i have. i think t compliments the visual. And although i tried hard to go against what the rest of my group have done in fear of copying, making this into a happy peice didn't quite work.
