The Silver Acorn- Canon 550D Short Film

I filmed and edited this short film in just one day, that's why there are some parts that aren't as good as they could be.

Plot: A lonely, quiet girl discovers a box containing a silver acorn, she takes it home with her due to its beautiful appearance. However, the acorn soon begins to control her life.

Idea adapted from 'Whistle and I'll come to you'.

you're a good cinematographer. I like how you frame shots and the vibrant colours are really eye catching. Story takes a while to master but you're a young so you'll get there in no time - BRAVO!

[gbfilmproductions]

@ramseyrocks Thank you! :)

Nice work. Great video, please post your videos in 1080p if u can.

[gbfilmproductions]

@fritzov Thanks. No, sorry I can't do that considering it took 11 hours to upload this, the files would be too large for 1080p to upload, also my internet isn't fast enough.

Do you prefer the T2i or 7D?

[gbfilmproductions]

I'm American so most things are totally flip flopped like drivers seat, side of the road, and even door hinges... Anyways this was a greatly shot film and was fun to watch... Thank You Georgia!!!!!

I really liked the video. It was well made, and I happen to be in a film study class right now. My two issues with this film are, a problem with the sound continuity, and really hectic shot changes. I though the shot changes took away from the suspence a little because of how often they occured. But these are easily fixed as you get more experirence. Good job!

That girl is so beautiful, I can't understand how anyone can be that aesthetically perfect.

I remember when petrol was that cheap :-(

Interesting story but would have spent longer on post production and sound.

[OrsonMyles]

show isolation of the character (probarly) but I don't like to have a such blurry background that I don't see anything no more.

[OrsonMyles]

really enjoyed the suspense. the storytelling was great. details like the change of the clothes she was wearing before going to sleep and after make it interesting. Only thing I can critique is the overusage of (too) shallow DOF. it's a trait that many young filmmakers have, it gives films a modern look. but imo a sooner or later dated look. I don't know if you've seen any visconti films, it's the prime example of how a background can make the foreground more interesting. And I know you tried to

Like the shots you use!

oh, i slipped.Posted twice, so removed 1. Ha

You're welcome, i meant it.It took me 3 years to make my first film, that's a mistake jumping into full lengh too soon.For a short, and you're at Uni, you hit the spot perfect.Actress was good too, presume she's a friend.Actors are an expense people in the biz would say you have to invest in, but if you know someone who's decent go with them.Whatever feels right
