Telling Lies

Telling Lies is a experimental video created by Simon Ellis its running time is 4 minutes.
This is one extraordinary piece of work which looks at the aftermath of the night before.
The piece is very much a craft creation with fantastic use of digital audio the piece is a mixture of diegetic and non diegetic deffintley with its audio masterpiece works.
As you hear the phone conversation taking place every word from the conversation appears on the screen it creates an image as though you are part of the conversation.
If any foul language is said they may occasionaly change the text to make it look explicit.
When the phone rings you know straight away that someone is about to recieve a phone call and it has been edited in to add the sound of a phone ringing.
The premise of this piece is to show the emotions one lad has gone through the night before were he supposably cheated on his girlfriend. The conversation goes round to so many different people and creates an argument not just one to one but the guys mother gets involved and some of his friends. But it doesn't end up well for the lad as his girlfriend gives up on him and the lady doesn't want him either.
