Short Sharp Shock Film Clip

New brief today.  To do a 15-20 second video.  I kinda freaked out about this as i have never made a  film clip in my life, apart from little un-edited shots on my phone.  I then freaked out some more when i read that the pitch presentation was less than 2 weeks!

My worry was lessened a little bit when Andrew sat down with the whole class and explained to us in more detail about what we were to achieve and how to go about it etc.

Initially ideas that popped into my head were- filming the cycle to Lewes, including the train journey, or some other kind of cycling, maybe some mountain biking at Friston Forest, as thats what i know most about, and have seen many mountain bike films.

It would be nice to do something about motor racing, but its off season, and even if it was in season, getting passes to access pits/trackside etc would be next to impossible.

I had the idea in the class that the GoPro YouTube channel would be a good place to start some research, as most of their clips are very short (not as short as we're making!), approx 3 mins each.

So i'm off to watch some!
