One Shot Short - Think Campaign

I've finally finished my One Shot Short video!

I hope you enjoy watching the film, there's only so much you can do with a single take of film.

Various problems I had to over come are that it's quite difficult to film something with the mindset that 6 other people have to edit it as well, so you have to make it quite universal. Also, its fairly difficult to do exactly what you want with a single piece of footage. For example, I feel that the guys standing at the car and talking is just too long for my video and I would prefer that to be shorter, but I still think the video works well and utilises the footage.

I desaturated the colour so that only blues and greens were visible, and I placed 2 filters over the video, one to make it liney and another with darkened edges. I feel these effects give it a very industrial feel to it, making the camera as if it were a CCTV camera. The effect of this makes the video seem more realistic and like this could happen to any normal person. The way the camera is attached to a tripod and only swivels around in a stationary position makes it seem even more natural as a CCTV camera is quite ridged in its movement.

It kind of reminds me of a 1960's public broadcast I saw on YouTube once. The voice over is quite similar and it tackles an issue that's not particularly relevant. Here it is:
