One Minute Film Concepts Blog

Throughout the semester we have made many one minute films using many different techniques. Every where from marking on film to actually shooting on film we have covered almost every aspect of making a one minute film. Now if I have to come up some other one minute film ideas for future classes what might those be? For anyone of the current projects you could make them more detailed, for example give a topic for found footage, draw them out of a hat or something, so then everyone is search for one specific thing, it might make the films a little bit more detailed. For other projects such as the one minute film you could create a one page script that everyone has to follow and see what variations on that script are created. As far as new projects go, you could do a project that is entirely made up of still photographs that tell a story, similar to what 201 used to be, but since it isn’t anymore this would be different for new generation of students. Another idea might be just a normal one minute video with sound and all maybe like in-camera editing only. Just as a very normal project to add to the very abnormal ness of the course. Another option could be that the exercise we are doing to get ready for the 48 hr video race could be an assignment because it sounds like it would be fun to do maybe outside of class and maybe make it longer like we go around the groups three times instead of once. Overall we cover a lot of different variations on one minute films. It’s hard to potentially come up with more.
