Video Analysis (Research)


"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.

Most phone numbers were just 3 digits, so you'd pick up the phone, wait for the Operator to say "Good morning, number please" and reply with whatever, such as Tonbridge 387. At first the phones were of Bakelite, very heavy but thankfully very loud, you'd not miss a call unless you lived in an enormous house. These were replaced with Plastic phones , but one thing for years seem to remain common place - the cord which after time became coiled up. This led to the inevitable answering of the call and pulling the telephone of the table. (Source) 1960: Subscriber trunk dialling (STD) was introduced in the mid-1960s, allowing people t...
