Second a day films

I have done research via YouTube on films created by filming a second a day for a length of time. I love films created this way as they are unique and, while they don't necessarily follow a straight plot, tell a story through each clip as it shows every day life without being scripted.

This film shows a second a day of the first year of a baby's life. It shows growth of the child and how it develops over time, but is entertaining to watch as it is down to earth and shows the best parts of normal life.

This is a technique that inspires me and is one that I'd love to experiment with in the production of my own film.

Here I have tested out putting multiple second-long clips together on iMovie. It was very easy to create; I filmed a second of simple and everyday occurrences for a few days and ran them together. To improve on this technique if I were to feature it in my film I would possibly have clips that are up to 5 seconds long so it is more detailed and shows a story, and I would use background instrumental music to keep it entertaining.
