Deluded Radio Station- Short Film

jed490 · 31-01-2010 06:04PM #1

A short film/music video (of sorts) that i shot on a Canon hv30 and edited it on Windows Movie Maker.

While reading a newspaper, someone listens to a deluded radio station.

Comments?

I'll be honest, I don't entirely get it.

I rooted around and I did read the thread on fxhome.com which helped a bit, but if there is a clearly defined story/theme, a "method to the madness" if you will, then I'm not sure it's communicated very clearly. Just my opinion.

That said I've done work on audio montages myself before, where every clip is carefully chosen even if it ends up being incomprehensible. So I can understand that motivation, just not what the intended message/outcome is supposed to be.

I appreciate your feedback (very well written and constructive I must say). The theme is very simply listening to nonsense on a radio.

That would be really harsh if you were to say that.

But it would be the truth, and im sure you would appreciate people telling you the truth?

I like the idea, but the video does zero for me, its too dark and uneventfull...

Maybe, Maybe you should have cut to the man scrumpling the newspaper or with an angry face to give the illusion of what your looking for which is presumeably anger / madness
