‘Communicate an idea in film’

Using montage filming editing to create a short film (40 seconds – 1 minute) which communicates a single, simple idea.

In this film you are not trying to tell a story with a beginning, middle and end but rather you should try create a sequence which communicates a feeling, a tone, an atmosphere…

Here are some examples of montages, which communicate a feeling only and impression of people, places, events….

Yarchen Gar – Tibetan Monastery

City of God – Party in The Favellas

Montage

A moment in time music video

Some starting ideas:

Choose two ideas – one from each list, one proverb and one emotional idea.

Spend time with your partners discussing the possibilities that these offer, you must try and use a camera and tripod expressively to film your people, places, impressions, ideas.

You should film 12 – 15 different shots of people, places, moments in time that capture your idea.
