Lens based media- 20 second video





Our task was to create a 20 second video of a situation that goes wrong, then having to overcome it. My group thought carefully about the location of where the film was going to be set, and the plot of the story. Our idea was to film a girl (Inas) sitting at a table struggling to make an origami piece. We attached our lanyards together across 2 TVs and hung the phone from the lanyards to get a birds eye view of the video. I thought this was a clever idea as it was the best way to keep the phone as still as possible, and you could only focus on what was meant to be included in the video; there were no distractions. 
As the video begun, Inas watched a tutorial of how to make an origami piece; She loses her patience, and gets stressed. As she sips a cup of water, it spills all over the origami; Then she completely gives up as she has destroyed her piece. To make the video more tense I think we should have included a spot light facing Inas making the origami; The lighting was too subtle. 
Inas stayed in role, which made the video most interesting. Some aspects of it was funny, when she blasphemed, but also shocking when she spat the water. as you wouldn't expect it to happen.
