Livin’ La Lalaland a narrative edit

The brief was a two-minute edit from supplied footage and audio, which left room to test how far tone, pacing and juxtaposition could reshape existing material.

Instead of parody, I pushed it towards the surreal. Repetition, escalating cuts and layered sound, with static, warped music and environmental noise, build a mounting sense of instability until the edit feels claustrophobic. A storyboard sequenced the key images, and taught me that planning is most useful when it records what each moment is for, as well as where it sits.
