Pilot show reel - material analysis

The idea was to have a 20-25 minute show reel to play in the empty shop windows around Cambridge, so this then would catch the public’s attention. The show reel contained footage from Buster Keaton videos, a Kylie Minouge video produced by Michel Gondry, some Long Road work from film/media studies and the Diploma, and old archive footage of Cambridge during the 1950’s.

The old archive footage of Cambridge was shown to show how much Cambridge had changed over the course of 50 years. The Long Road videos were used to show student work and the video of Buster Keaton had footage of shops used in the specific one we chose.

Tony Jones was granted the rights to use the Kylie Minogue ‘Come Into My World’ video, which was used because it showed various shops which were lively and colourful - this is similar to the shops Tony Jones hoped to create by the Commission project.

Videos showing work from the Creative and Media Diploma were also included in the showreel to show the involvement our college had in the project and our close relationship with the class' client, Tony Jones.
