Chosen Short Film Idea

The Chosen idea for my short film is going to be a cadburys cream egg advert. I have done a lot of research on short stop motion adverts and have decided that this is the best one for me to do. It will be about 30 seconds long and will have a soundtrack of noises, no music or narrations.

There have been a lot of ideas already done in the adverts, so i am going to have to come up with a completely new concept of 'destroying' a cream egg.

Adidas Shoe Advertisement

For a side unit in our photography A2 course, we were asked to photography and advertise a pair of shoes. I was glad we got given this project as i was really keen and liked this type of project. I used the studio lights to take photos of my shoes, with a black backdrop and a spotlight just above them... I used photoshop to merge photos together, adding them in with a filmstrip for a professional and stylish finish, along with colour matching the logo and writing with the colours of the shoes...

Here is what my final poster looks like

Stop Motion Video Research

For my video that i am going to be creating for my A2 photography project, i have decided to do a stop motion video. There are thousands of different types of stop motion movie genres, some more common then others.

In my research i found a person named 'PES' who makes some really original and entertaining stop motion videos that have really inspired me into what i want to do for my stop motion video. Below is an example of one of his videos...

Street Photography

My topic for my A2 photography course was street photography. I chose this as i think photos look there best when there is no staging or fake emotion is involved.

Famous street photographers include Henri Cartier Bresson, Dorothea Lange etc. etc. Below i have included a few of my own photos that i have taken over the course in different locations, including London and Brighton.

I hope too add a lot more to my portfolio and experiment with different types of shots to make sure none of my work gets boring.

Hi Jonny

So far so good but I think you need to add some more work. You are working better but you must do some more independant work so that you achieve a grade you want.

Have a good week.

duration

I am hoping to create my short film to a duration of about 5 minutes, preferably no more/no less.

-Maximum time of 6 mins.

-Minimum of 4 mins.
form (still, moving etc)

My plans for my short film are either to have either a stop motion film, or a film similar to Stefan Nadelman's 'Terminal Bar' as i think these are alot more relevant to my photography course, rather then using a film camera, which is not what i particularly want to do in photography.

- Stop Motion short film.

- Film made from random images, ordered by narration .
narrative

As i am either making a stop motion or a picture film, i am going to need to have a narrator,i will build up a script and plot, record the narration, then add it into my movie. It will be simple yet mysterious to add effect to my film.

- My narration will depend on what type of movie i create (i.e. fast, slow, happy sad etc.)

- I will make sure it is clear and well spoken, standing out above the music.
sound

I will probably be adding a sound track to my short film, once it has been created, and addapt it so it fits in under my naration.

- Yet to decide on soundtrack.
