Short Film
Initial plan
My plan for this project is to make a 2-3 minute short film about professional long distance runner Phily Bowden I will use the skills and techniques I have learned in the rest of my major project including using the drone for top down symmetrical shots, using motion blur to show speed and movement and using the advertising posters skills I have learned to create extra branding and marketing to go along with the video.
Overall the idea of this project is to use the techniques I have used in the rest of my Major project to create a Cinematic short film.
Inspiration and Research
Here are some screenshots from another short film which style I like, it was also made by filmmaker Danny Givertz and was made about triathlete Connor Emeny I also like the colour, pace and style of this film but I especially like the very purposeful composition of each shot, there is always movement in each shots and the subject if often centre frame.
making this mood board in program Milanote was useful for putting together the inspiration screenshots, questions i’m planning on asking for the talking part of the video and the camera gear I need to use for filming
Editing.
I edited the video in DaVinci resolve putting together all the clips, adding music and sound design as well as colour grading each of the clips to make the colours of each frame more interesting
Above are some screenshots from a short film by filmmaker Danny Gevirtz, it was made for professional runner Sydney McLaughlin the film is titled ‘72 hours in Paris’ The film is about her competing in I really like the style, pace, colours and cinematography of the film and is something I can take inspiration from for the film I make.
