Last Minute (Short film)
Вставка

- This is a first year university film so obviously I'm a hugeass amateur, and there was set criteria that I had to meet for the content (no dialogue, focus on sound and light, conveying a theme/atmosphere as opposed to a narrative.)
There are little annoying errors like some sound not matching up/the sound levels in general being too low and you can see a lighting stand but shhh I'm pretty proud. My friend Sos is the wonderful star of this, please pat her on the head accordingly.
Idk what else to say.
FOR THOSE WITH QUESTIONS:
Okay so, this video was done for a college project to fit specific criteria. The class was focused on sound and lighting, and the project criteria was NOT to create a video that conveyed a typical three act narrative storyline, but instead to create a video that encapsulated a theme and atmosphere from a list of options. (We specifically were not allowed to use dialogue.)
The theme/atmosphere I chose was time, so this video does have a vague story, but it was more meant to show the passing of time in different ways like the clocks and ticking throughout the whole video (via both visuals and sound), the traditional passing of time as we experience it through the first shots (0:14 to 0:54), a compressed passing of time through the quick montage (0:54 to 1:07) and the slower montage (1:07 to 1:41), and then skipping parts of time with a time cut at 1:42.
The pills on the table are Vitamin C tablets, a brand/kind that are very common in Australia and often taken to prevent the common cold and the toll that stress has on the immune system (with stress and common colds being something that students deal with a lot here during exam season.)
The lights being bright at 6am vs less bright at 9am was meant to represent that the sun had only just risen at 6am, with it still being low enough to shine through the windows, and then it was higher in the sky at 9am and no longer glaring through the windows. I think the shot of the grandfather clock conveys this, but the final shot should have been changed because it doesn't convey this quite as well, the light is less bright but the lighting stand should have been made significantly higher/taller because it doesn't show the change of the sun's position in the sky as well.
I hope this explanation helps and makes sense! I wrote most of this in answer to a few specific questions one person had, but from all the frequent questions I thought this may help some of you other viewers as well. Like I've said, this was made years ago so my memory is foggy, and there are a few little details I would change if I made it now, but hopefully this answers your questions for the most part.
Yes, I really like that you worked on the depiction of every shot. Although there are many perceptions, time also repeats itself and we do same things again and again, I mean the last shot is on point in my opinion.
Great work. Would love to see your other work. Would you kindly let me know what were the remarks on your work?
I can understand that this was for your assignment...and i loved your film editing techniques...
how the hell can they teach students to make film without narrative elements, that's just wrong on all levels, filmmaking is storytelling above everything else. Having said that, I think you had a decent story in here, and you told it well using visual storytelling, your editing was fast and good, great job, hope you have continued filmmaking since 2013

It's such a good attempt and without a dialogue you've narrated well enough. I can totally relate to the video when I see it. This is me everyday.
This is very simple yet has a decent amount of substance to it. Based on what is shown we can tell that the character themself really wants to get their school work done but what constantly stops themselves is how exhausted they are with the work. Also by the factor that there is passage of time we can also tell that this is a constant issue they deal with daily. It was all shown without using dialogue and that was really good. The cinematography was great, and the editing with the sound mixing and general cuts was very professionally done. Got to say that this is a 9.3/10.
I like the way the coffee is made .... just loved it yummmmmmmmmmmy😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😀🤣🤣😋😋😋
yeah too yummy to make you fall asleep again 😅😅

Wow, loved this! I agree with Gerard, loved some of the close-up shots!
Don't know why I didn't respond to this 7 months ago but THANKS! Close ups are always my fave n__n
This is great! I don't understand why it has so many dislikes. I clearly understood the meaning of the film, and its relation to your theme. the lighting, camera angles and overall production was well done Great job!
I like that coffee cup.
sorry by will u Xplain d thought u want to xpress
I guess according to these comments. To be a filmmaker, you gotta give the audience a point and a message.
ikr. this is just a study, not meant to be the perfect film
can't get wht u want to say from this video
it was, "please give me a passing grade I'm tired"
Yeah !!
@@somanypetals I also wanna say to my college "please give me a passing grade, I'm tired" ;(

Seriously, I didn't get the point.
That’s rough buddy
@@somanypetals i feel ike the desription clearly says it was about light and sound so sorry that people are not getting that sis, I think you nailed it on that sound and lighting, and the angles, pretty cool stuff. I hope you're enjoying the rest of your degree!!
Time.
@Kiaranah I watched it again and again. Time is just not in the clock, the sun/light shows its duration, the coffee, paragraphs on the paper and many other things. I also liked the green highlighter you used, it's moving straight in a line. Showing that this moment has passed now and you can remove the line or in other sense. The time has passed! Amazing work K.
this is my favourite of all the comments on this video, I'm glad you went on such a journey with this video :)
Iiterally laughed out loud when it showed that you had fallen asleep again xD
I would have fallen asleep straight away, I say this having been awake for 23 hours
Why didn't she use phone' alarm ?
Wtf was that supposed to be
What camera and lens are you using
It’s shot really well, the frame composition is great, and the lighting was smart... But the story doesn’t have much tension in it or at least not as much urgency as it could have had, also louder foley would have been nice but nonetheless awesome short film
could you please spare a minute @kiaranah to tell me what you were thinking when you making this project.. don't take me wrong... Actually i failed to get the meaning.. i don't blame you.. a writer or director is not the the one who you blame.. if you don't get the movie... i just want to know your perspective... i tried at my level too.. like i asked myself what those pills were actually on her table..
and at 6 lights are bright.. and at 9 it has to be more brighter or what.. as the day goes..
so i respect the ideas.. and i love this one too... but i couldn't understand this..
could you brief it
Yeah sure! I did this project a few years ago now so my memory is foggy, but I'll do my best.

@kiaranah thank you so much for considering my request.. now the explanation of yours really helps thanks again
The Cup Of Coffee Didn't Work
....or...it had poison!!
Nex Xlo oh that worked hell of a more than it was expected to.....
First lesson. Always leave text on screen long enough for the audience to read it twice. That's standard. Dumb assignment. What's the point of capturing atmosphere if it doesn't serve a story/narrative?
The assignment isn't dumb, the point of this class has nothing to do with teaching story or narrative. This is a first-year class and the purpose was to learn the basics of lighting, recording sound for film, and using prime lenses. We were told to only capture a simple atmosphere or theme because adding a story would have taken much longer and given us less time to focus on what we were learning in this class. First-year classes in the film course I studied all began with classes on the different basics (including screenwriting, narrative, film history etc. classes), and then tied them together in different formats for second-year (e.g. documentary, live news show), and the third-year major project is a short film. This class and assignment were stepping stones, the point of capturing atmosphere when it doesn't serve a narrative is simply just to demonstrate the knowledge you've learned in the class.
The shots of the writing on the paper were very difficult to see clearly on location since we couldn't check the footage until we got back to the university, I would have redone these shots if I had the time. I lost marks for it, because again, this class isn't dumb.
Hi I’m thinking of doing film production at uni, do you think it would be worth it or is it just a waste of time and doesn’t get you into the industry? Thanks x
update on what did u do ?
@@someone-ih4kx hey! Wow, how things change! I applied to uni for film production but after covid I re-applied and I’m now doing something completely different as I realised it’s not what I wanted to do anymore :(

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins!
Come to HIM🙂

I was waiting for something to happen; it was suggesting a built up towards pay off, or plot, but nothing happened. What was the story conveying?
Wow. Well defined. .

Hii I've got a similiar project can I use your idea? Do you mind?
How u hv made dz..
I mean the apps n all can u plx tell me
+Shefali Royal For this one I used Avid Media Composer because that's what we had to use for our class at uni, that one is like a professional grade editing program though. There's nothing too fancy in this that you couldn't start off trying with Windows Movie Maker or iMovie depending on if you use Mac or Windows.
I usually used Sony Vegas at home for editing before I switched to Mac, now I haven't got anything other than iMovie yet but I'll probably get FinalCut eventually
kiaranah thankYou😘
Remarkable and honorable performance; obvioulsy there is lack of real cameraman and a real actress, but after all, it is a nice shortfilm. :)
Love this short !
Supper
Boring
I am no film student, merely a film lover. I have become addicted to watching all sorts of short movies on UA-cam. This was really one of the "cuter" ones! I am not being sarcastic - I really chuckled and thought she was so cute when she fell asleep. :)
