The kitschy use of music, a waking-up-in-the-morning motif, everything shot on campus, clumsily borrowing 'experimental' aesthetics without any intention behind them, no traces of any lived experience - 10/10 brought me back to that place where creativity comes to die
Don't forget the teal shadows, orange mids, and green highs color correction, the vomit educing use of shallow depth of field with enough anamorphic bokeh to mistake a single Christmas light for vertical laser beam, all while shaking the camera like you missed your insulin shot.
As someone who went to a student film festival for my one friend in film school, the alarm clock opening SENT me I didn't realize it was so ubiquitous. I didn't realize at the time how weird it was that every other movie started with that. (my friend won btw, he cooked up a banger 🙏)
It's astonishing how accurate this is. I went to film school in the UK over 20 years ago, and yet I saw almost this exact film several times a year. I'm also probably guilty of some elements myself. Weird how universal the archetypal bad student film (still) is.
In all I know about filmmaking I learned from the toxic avenger Lloyd Kauffman brings up a really god point (back in 1998) that indie filmmakers are trying less to make good original films with what they have and are instead just making crappy auditions for Hollywood using attempted Tarantino and smith dialogue instead of trying to tell a captivating story.
Yes! FADE IN: ALARM CLOCK. Every time! When I was in film school our professor said we would get kicked out of the program if there was one single shot of an EMPTY SWING on a playground. Especially if it was blowing listlessly in the wind at 48 fps.
sometimes i regret doing loads of hard substances as a teen and dropping out of highschool bc it means i coulda gone to college and made ass short films

I was immediately sold when I saw the alarm clock. They always start with a damn alarm clock
Same
Same lol
It’s true but mine ends with a guy throwing up a rat so at least I have that going for me
I started in a couple student films in college and, yeah, three of them started with an alarm clock.
@@calebthornblad1831dude i wanna see this
The only unrealistic part was how well-mixed the dialogue is lol
yeah where's the audio in the right ear only
You know its a student film because i wasnt even halfway through and it felt like i had been watching it for an hour
I think you're confusing this video with the "GUCCI GANG" music video
Damn, I didn't know Heroin was so nicely packaged
real.
Only the heroin you get from dealers near middle schools
Canadian Walmart brand Aspirin has Codeine

Where creativity goes to die is so accurate lol

This is so specific 😭😭😭
The Manic pixie dream girl 😭😭😭
How am I supposed to empathize with a character if I don't see them wake up, brush their teeth and go to work just like me?
feeling very seen as a student filmmaker who's made a movie about taking drugs and about jumping off a parking garage
So…a student filmmaker.
scot pilgrim ahh film
SCOTT PILGRIM REFERENCE‼️‼️🤩⁉️🔥🥶⁉️🦅😈🤘😜
I’m in lesbians w you 😜
I’m in lesbians now with moon beam
Just missing the black screen with the iPhone alarm at the beginning and unnecessary amount of cuts😂😂😂 this is gold
And the texts foreshadowing future events and characters
This is the perfect short film. Film festivals are gonna eat this one up
Realizes his software has special effects. Must use every last one
all that's missing is the "it was all a dream" ending.
Dude, I’m reporting you. You can’t just repost MY student film and claim it as your own.
uhhh
Its clearly a joke@@ItsIvom
XD
Excuse me? This is MY student film.
@@idekaaaIC, Stop the cap!!! It took me 4 years to make this film!!! It’s mine, and mine only!!!
UA-cam recommending so much art to me lately. UA-cam is so back
@@JazzyAnne HOLY SHIT YOURE MY IDOL
This is a piece of art that belongs in a museum. You really captured the student film genre.
I didn't know heroin was a hallucinogenic.
Or comes in a pill bottle
"I'm really going for a slice-of-life existential drama with hints of comedy, romance, and psychological thriller elements thrown in."
something about the "wait am i supposed to kill myself" i just LOVE
Because it's the definition of the writer forcing the characters doing something they wouldn't genuinely do in a situation. Happens often.
I’m starting to realize maybe I would’ve been accepted to film school if I didn’t have a damn alarm clock as my first shot
Just one critique: this should be in black and white
Why do you go?
- Because
How do I end the film?
- Just
I love how the shot looking over the edge was taken in a completely different time of day.

I appreciate how "3 minutes" lands exactly at 3 minutes into the video
>wearing jacket while brushing teeth
>next scene
>puts on jacket
*chefs kiss*
must've been awkward watching all the student films exactly like this in class afterward
As someone currently writing a movie script for the hell of it, this was a great guide on what NOT to do.
It's astonishing how accurate this is. I went to film school in the UK over 20 years ago, and yet I saw almost this exact film several times a year. I'm also probably guilty of some elements myself. Weird how universal the archetypal bad student film (still) is.
probably the most realistic part was how there's a very obvious motion stabilizer in one of the shots
not the heroin trip 😭
Love it, but where's the randomly pulled gun and cigarette being smoked by someone who's never smoked before??
Unrealistic. Film students are too afraid to use copyrighted music
and they always act like theyre fucking geniuses 💀
Nobody over 25 on camera. It all checks out.
This is what happens when you tell a film student to watch Fight Club
I LOVE OTC HEROIN!! 😝
We got rinsed by my old lecturers for starting our student film with an alarm clock 😂
I was like "i bet it starts with an alarm clock"
my dyslexia thought it's: Every film student ever and was expecting typical day for someone studying film at uni
The fact that this is better than most of the local student films I’ve watched, but also still spot on
this is so accurate lmao. I hate the starting walking segments so damn much.
I smelled half the other shots when I saw that alarm clock!
PERFECT ENDING LMAO
I feel sick watching this.
Well done.
Respect to the 50 person cast and crew
The alarm clock is crazy
I love that the ending looks like the director actually wants the actor to off themselves so they can film it 😭
This was hilarious, I laughed out loud. Can you make more? For every genre maybe? "every students sci fi ever", "every student horror film ever" etc
2:43 DDUUUUUUDEEE, JUST WHEN I SAID OUTLOUD IS HE GOING TO KILL HIMSELF HE SAID IT!!!
DePaul representation!
That heroin prop is genius
I may be guilty of exactly this
No he jumps then back to the alarm clock

On our first year of uni we had to do like 1 shortfilm every 2 weeks, I can tell you that this video was a mix of them all hahshsh
You hit every damn mark
This should be played in the first day of every film school
I was so invested the whole time
I imagined brushing the teeth scene and it didn't disappoint me😂
Soo Meta. Love the retro vibe. Well done. Looks like you had fun!
This shit is JJJJUUUST MY SPEED LMAO YOURE HILARIOUS
The best student film I’ve seen out of Depaul in months
The fucking alarm clock and wake up montage
Yes! It’s always a full-length story cut down to heck just to squeeze it into a tiny runtime. Had my fair share of these mistakes!
This made me laugh so much. Hilarious execution.
Man the drug induced colour was so spot on. The carefree use copyright music so spot on.
Not the being high on drug scene!!! hahahahaaha
the pace of my writing after one edgar wright film
Literally he´s Scott Pilgrim, and she Ramona Flowers.
I feel called out
Yes! FADE IN: ALARM CLOCK. Every time!
When I was in film school our professor said we would get kicked out of the program if there was one single shot of an EMPTY SWING on a playground. Especially if it was blowing listlessly in the wind at 48 fps.
Laura, this is hilarious, and I hope you continue to make movies.
The million needle drops is so real
LOL, this is peak comedy in my opinion. Simple and effective 😂
You captured it dude
I love Scott pilgrim
I really hope that you got an A+ for this
I just gave you an Oscar for this video.
i laughed so hard at the herion tablets
This is gold
the alarm clock lmao
Banger ending🔥
Stop this is seriously giving early *2010s* student short film vibes and I'm here for it !! I'm not the only one who sees this right??
Good job guys
I feel personally attacked
Actual absolute cinema
Damn, Equate is going hard now. Good for them.
bonus points for the inclusion of the teeth brushing shot 😭
You forgot the ‘camera inside fridge’ shot. And instead of killing yourself, you could have end the film by waking up again like it was all a dream
sometimes i regret doing loads of hard substances as a teen and dropping out of highschool bc it means i coulda gone to college and made ass short films
Certainement pas le seul Fronçais ici, mais bravo:^)) je crois que la fin m'a
Well thought out shots! Great film!
the pov shot over the ledge 😭
This feels Scott Pilgrim inspired 😭
This is significant;t better than many of the student short films I mark.
ironically the tounge-and-cheek "every student film" short film is also a massive cliche in student films.
The distortion effect lmao
i love the ending
