The Script

Audio	Visual
Intro – 11s “And I’d give up forever to touch you ‘Cause I know that you feel me somehow You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be And I don’t want to go home right now”	EXT: DUSK:NIGHT Live Action –  Slow fade into a close up shot of a boy leaning on a gate. Slow pan to the right, stopping when we see the moon in the centre of the frame.
“And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later its over I just don’t want to miss you tonight	EXT:NIGHT:SKY Animation – A shooting star appears from the left and travels across the sky in front of the moon. It then shatters into several smaller stars that fall in different directions.
“And I don’t want the world to see me ‘Cause I don’t think that they’ll understand… When Every things made to be broken I just want you to know who I am’	EXT:NIGHT:SKY Animation – We follow one of these smaller stars as it plummets towards the ground. A couple of frames lower it stops in mid-flight, the whole sky freezing with it… When everything was still, thick black lines zigzag out to the edges of the frame. Upon reaching, sections of the cracked sky begin to fade out, revealing a face piece by piece. EXT:NIGHT:BOY’s FACE Live-Action/Animation When the boy’s face is completely visible, we a small blue tear trickle out of his left eye and then roll down his cheek.

My Ps created image relating to the problem

Five-Second Film: 123

1.      Explain your 5-second film, and how you think it fits into your final major project, or hope it can kick off your final major project?

I really struggled with creating an idea for my five-second film. I wanted to make the film in relation to my FMP idea, but I couldn’t find a way to make it connect to an animated music video, I therefore instead tried to make it relate to the overall production of film itself.

I filmed several very short clips of actions that are associated with the production of a live action film: taking off and then replacing the camera lens, switching to record mode, pressing record, and connecting a usb cable to the mac. I thought that this was a reasonably suitable film, as it presented a snapshot into the overall production of a/my film, if I had/was going to produce a live action film.

2.      What is the purpose of your fmp?

To explore and evaluate the history and evolution of animated music videos, and to discuss the impact that these have on the audience.

3.     What do you hope to get out of this?

I hope to demonstrate my passion for the subject of animation, whilst building a solid understanding of the animated music video industry.

 Three promises to yourself:

1.      To stay happy with my chosen idea

2.      To go to bed earlier.

3.      To have loads of fun with the production and written work.
