    lost property - short drama

    BBC (Bristol) Film Club

    Director: Verity White

    Length: 1 min 30s, Format: Super 16

    Originated mute on Super 16mm. A 1-day studio-shot short with a small crew in a simple three-walled set.

    Drawing on influences like Edward Hopper, Director Verity White had a clear vision of what she wanted this imaginary world to look like.

    With this in mind and knowing we had an ambitious schedule of shots to achieve, I opted for a simple lighting set up that would require only small changes throughout the day and could be easily turned around for the reverse shots.
