The Virgin Media Short film competition is held every year, and is relevant to what we are doing but they generally focus on one idea and expand on it, utilising this one idea many times, with no proper narrative structure to it, merely several ideas on one idea. It is quite difficult to explain but there are a few examples:
The Vicious Cycle:

This short film is a perect example of what i am talking about. It is the same idea- a bike that goes in circles through time- and this idea never changes, merely camera angles change.
The Black Hole:

This film is edited with real quality, and the idea is flawless and inventive. But the same problem is that it is one idea put into different scenarios, such as the vending machine and the safe.
The problem with these examples is that the film i wish to create has a particular narrative to it, and the idea is to include all the features of a feature film but make it 5 minutes long. Maybe this will prove too hard, but it is the idea i hold on to.
