45 Second Clip

This blog task required me to film a forty-five second shot of something mundane. No edits were aloud, just one continuous shot. I chose to film a shower that was on, the reason I decided to choose this was because it is something I and many others use everyday, which I thought by default made it mundane because it is not very exciting as it is the norm. To film this I simply held my phone up to a shower head, set my phones camera to slow motion and filmed. The reason I decided to film this in slow motion was because it was easier to achieve a forty-five second short film and also if it was shot with a lower frame rate it was harder to see the water falling. In terms of the ‘cinema of attractions’ theory I do believe that my clip will interest viewers without any narrative. I believe that my clip will make viewers think, by simply admiring and questioning why everything in shot is occurring.
