Behind the Scene - House

Originally, we were planning to leave this filming to the end of the week, but an opportunity came to film it later so off we went! Our happy actor after filming first few shots. "Eoin, don't talk, you are sitting in your kitchen alone!". Also, the mess on the table... Well, what is out of frame doesn't exist. So professional! Some more practice shots True dedication... Poor Eoin though, freezing in his thin top. Some outside filming. Look at that sky!

Video Analysis (Research)

Image
"David" is a short movie made for a competition. It uses extreme close ups to fool the viewer into thinking that someone is preparing for an important day or event, while the reality is far darker and is showed at the very end of the video - it's indeed an important day - a funeral. It's fantastic plot twist, one that really wasn't expected. We would like to do something similar with our video - but instead, show the darker side of the video in extreme close ups as it plays on, and at the end revealing the full view. While done on a much larger scale and far more complex in style, the video has a similar theme to our own project. It uses Point of View, glitch effect and on-screen information bars and tabs. Another very similar approach to the theme. It uses fair mix of PoV and Third person perspective. Has some nice on-screen graphics which suggest that most of the video takes place in VR.
