Late for school
Late for school was my first project for Media. The breif was to create a short film about being late for school. Filming took around 4 days. The video uses the song "One Day Like This" by Elbow.
Ideas
The idea for this video was for a student who was already late for school being repeatedly distracted by a cat moving to different locations, while also getting ready for school.Â
Treatment
Act one
Main charicticter wakes up and gets distracted by a cat, goes downstairs and gets distracted again, eats breakfast and gets distracted again.
Act two
MC goes back upstairs and gets dressed and is distracted again. Goes downstairs and is distracted.
Act 3
Act 3 is the mc going downstairs, putting their shoes on, getting distracted and leaving the house
