For this coursework I will produce a short 90 second film for entry into the DepicT film competition, there are no strict guidelines as such as DePict accepts a huge variety of mediums and genres: documentary, horror, animation and many more options are available to select if so desired.
From a first glance at the DePict website I notice that many pieces are simple yet elegant, they strive to display artistic vision rather than complex story lines and effects, a simple yet effective statement is present at the climax of many piece. For example I found 'Fag & Egg', a film that stands alone as artistic vision with little intrinsic meaning, and then there is a little gem entitled 'the Laundrette' that has a sweet simple message of love, mixed in off course with masterfully crafted and well thought out camera shots and lighting.
The Laundrette

I believe this brief will be a breath of fresh air as I finally get to experiment with cinematography, creating the magic through interesting lighting and characters rather than Cgi and After Effects. Should be fun
