This is a short film called 'Strangers' about two men on a tube crossing paths and coming together at the end to form a kind of union. We were inspired by the camera work and the use of the tube. As they used handheld camera when on the tube and the tube doors are used effectively as wipes between shots, the close ups on the characters faces to show their emotions and the use of the diegetic sound of the tube, we immediately knew we wanted to involve the tube or public transport in some way, to bring our two protagonists together.
After discovering our concept, we remembered seeing this music video, 'Bad Day' by Daniel Powter, as it uses the quick pace of the characters lives, day by day by day, this showed us what type of thing we wanted to come across. We didn't want to make ours a music video, but as we had thought before, we did not want dialogue, just a soundtrack over it, and through this video we could see it would be effective.
This is an effective music video with a lot of similarities to yours - for example setting, plot, camera shots ! I like the use of the split screen at the start
