Death by Cluedo

About the Video

Death by Cluedo was a short film assignment for University. The assignment was simply to make a 'short film under 3 minutes to be published on the web'. So I did what anyone else would do.. make a short film showing how dangerous board game rage can be!

The film was recorded in one evening by myself and two friends, using my own handheld camcorder and a miniature tripod. Many scenes were recorded from a height with the tripod, whereas some closer scenes were recorded by hand. It was my first time recording with any kind of tripod and it definately made filming easier for most scenes!

I fully intend expanding the 'Death by..' series in the future by creating more board-game monstrosities. Filming Death by Cluedo was great fun to do and turned out to be a good, short project, and I'd love to film some more! Let's hope so!
