ONE MINUTE MOVIES
Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2015 9:43 pm
At BIAFF we don't see many one minute movies. Maybe because it's not easy to make one.
Also because we always think of making a funny one. Humour is something very subjective. English humour is different from French humour. In some countries people laugh with everything. In other countries they never do.
The best one that I have ever seen is I Just Knew by Phil Martin. It's a serious one. It's very romantic. It's not a waggish story. But why should it be a waggish one? And the end there is no surprise. In Dutch we call it "a clou" But that's not a rule. It's a very emotional one and that what counts in the first place.
The one you can see here is just the opposite. In my opinion also a good one. It proves that we don't always have to show things in ten or twenty shots.
To be honest I think that "I Just Knew" is better because you can watch it one hundred times. It's never boring. "The Flu" could be boring after having seen it a few times.
But anyway, now I am thinking very hard to make a one minute movie in two or three shots. That's a challenge.
