Can't beat the physical world

Social media can be used to maintain communication but it does not create as strong a link than when people also meet in person

clipped from www.beingpeterkim.com I know there's an apparent irony here - that all of this social media stuff is virtual and location is less important than before.  That may be true at a surface level, but the digital world has never and will never replace the physical world...except in Hollywood stories.  DMs, hashtag chats, threaded conversations are all useful and can help us initiate and maintain relationships.

MURDER IN ONE SHOT!

Here's another single-shot short film, this time made by students in bath (not 'in a bath'). It's a complete narrative in three minutes and clear and simple in design and execution. They enjoy telling this story, the flow of it is matched by the flow of the camera...

We will have a look at these short films when I begin the one shot project with you all!

One Shot Wonders

Chris Cooke here, director, writer and now taking you through a world of one shot filmmaking. A one shot film has to start somewhere, so here are a few examples well worth looking at... some are pretty big budget, highly ambitious shorts made with vast resources, others very simple... but all worth considering: what are the choices they make narratively and visually?

First up - big budget, fancy, reverse stuff:

And now something quite artful - this is only a small section of a slightly longer piece, but it is low budget and from a filmmaker based here in this region:

Each film uses movement to tell it's single-shot story: you will be even more restricted, working with a fixed camera, but you will be much more imaginative because of this!

Vivre sa vie - Jean-Luc Godard

Notice the framing and exposure, it feels akward and Nana faces out of the image. The window outside is well exposed, showing the bright day, emphasising the darkness inside.
Later when she dances the camera work is flows, framing carrying her gracefully in the frame.
