  • Hi guys, this is a short film that I made for my A2 media coursework. I'm awful at storyboarding so it took me the best part of 2 months to come up with this Edgar Wright/ Wes Anderson inspired storyline. Therefore, yet again I ended up filming and editing the whole project a week before the deadline! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it!

    can’t emphasise how incredibly well put together this is… the videography, the plot line, the punch lines… every single take blends together oh so well, brilliant

      Awh thank you! Honestly though, don't even worry about not choosing it as an a level... I learnt no production skills at all from college media studies, the skills came from my own learning through youtube. If you're interested in making a career out of it college won't change that :)

    This is so good! I've been getting into film making as an adult and just randomly searched about a level media/film studies and this popped up. Very Edgar Wright style with the editing and story. Loved it! What was the brief you were given?

    • @LouisJonesFilm
      @LouisJonesFilm  Před 3 lety +10

      Thank you! I can’t actually remember what the brief was as this was a good 4 years ago now - I think we just had to create some form of media content, whether that be a short film, commercial or magazine. Then I believe we had to research and write a 5000 word essay on it.

    • @LouisJonesFilm
      @LouisJonesFilm  Před rokem +1

      Hey, Thank you! The sound effects were actually made for the project. I just did a load of random stuff and recorded it in a quiet place on the camera and then ripped the audio from the video files. This includes smacking flowers on the floor multiple times until it sounded like floors hitting the backseats of the car 🤣

    • @LouisJonesFilm
      @LouisJonesFilm  Před 3 lety +2

      This was shot mostly on a Panasonic GH4 - pretty old and cheap camera nowadays :) I’d say rather than focusing too much on the camera, focus on the story, composition & lighting of your shots - if you can get these right you can shoot on anything and make it look good believe me

    • @LouisJonesFilm
      @LouisJonesFilm  Před 5 lety +1

      It really depends on what you coursework was aimed towards, like i studied the techniques used by Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson, therefore my film has to follow a similar narrative and editing style to theirs.

    • @LouisJonesFilm
      @LouisJonesFilm  Před 5 lety +1

      Kieran LittleTA I get you, it’s just one of those things you have to get used to... it’s always weird telling people what to do. However, thats literally what it’s like directing music videos/ short films in the industry so you just have to adjust to it. Once you’ve done it a few times it gets a lot easier 😊

      Thank you! and I literally just got my mate to mimic his head movements, He held his glasses in front of the lens and we moved together + to get the out of focus effect i held the glasses up to the camera and then focus for the inside of one of the shades, then when we pulled the glasses away the picture was blurred

      The copyright has no stand in this video as it was a school project made with educational intensions - which were set out by the brief my college provided. If this was being distributed to festival etc then yes... but since it’s literally a project I’ve uploaded to help other people the contents mean nothing.
