Short Experimental Film

Old Boots


This experimental film's theme was 'Time'. I decided to portray this by using a pair of old, worn-out boots and showing what they weather each day.
All the different stages the boots go through, the mud and pavements and grass represent different periods of time, and how while somethings remain the same, other things change. I used both man-made and natural environments to display this.
In my video I also wanted to experiment with different techniques used to show time in films, so I used several short timelapses and tried moving them around objects slowly as I did it to create almost a stop-motion effect. I also used freeze frames and slow motion, even speeding it up at one point. This was to help create the effect of the passage of time, and also to help develop my skills of portraying time in films.

  1. It would be nice to have an explanation of the intention behind your approach and the techniques you have used. I like the use of everyday imagery but used to convey a lighthearted and positive vibe. I am impressed at the amount of work you have put into this. A lovely little film, well done Chloe
