City Symphony
City Symphony
In this project, you will work in groups of 2-3 people to create a short 2-4 minute documentary inspired by the “city symphony” silent films and the different documentary modes we covered in class.
You will be shooting in a public or semi-public space anywhere in the city. Your project should include a variety of shots and angles and a clear vision in terms of what you want to communicate about this space. Are you being critical of an aspect of the city, are you creating a love letter to a favorite neighbourhood in the city, are you exploring a sub-culture or hidden aspect of the city?
Be clear in your treatment of what it is you are exploring and what you want to communicate through your visual language and editing decisions.
