Final Project

For this assignment I wanted to create a short film using stills. The location is outside a registry office in a city. A young couple approach the building with the intention of legalising their union. Above them beams a fluro lit 'Entrance' sign. As they walk up the steps to the door the sign changes to exit. The couple stand contemplating this scenario, then abruptly turn and leave separately, suggesting the marriage was over before it began.

This has been a real learning curve for me. I hope to add to what little skills I have acquired.
This project pushed my ability further than I thought possible. Originally I was intending to create the film stills using photographs of people with props etc. but because of the difficulty working with others and their availability I decided to use a more readily accessible mode of production. This involved photographing toys in positions fitting the storyline. I then cut the figures from their backgrounds in photoshop and pasted them into a prepared background which was the stage. I used a simple video editing suite and was able to add music to enhance the overall effect.
