Below is a series of film stills from the film Alicia Talikowska’s film rule challenge (May 2006). Several participants filmed sections of footage during the Broken Biscuits house gallery event, Freshly Baked. Each participant had five minutes to film responding to a ‘rule’ that they chose prior to filming.  The camera was connected to a projector in the lounge, with cables allowing the participants to film in all areas of the house and in the front garden, whilst simultaneously projecting the live footage on a screen in the lounge for anyone to watch.

Rules:
DIFFERENT HEIGHT – CROTCH VIEW,
PLAY WITH LIGHT AND DARKNESS,
DISTORT TIME,
DIFFERENT LANGUAGE,
LOUD,
BE STEVE URWIN,
USE PROPS TO TELL A STORY,
STATE ANY PROBLEMS AS CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE,

Participants: Donna Walker, Gemma Fozzard, John Tipping, Bryony Pritchard, Chloe Cussell, Dan Roberts, Fiona Dollan, Amy Warren, James Hobson, Dan Walls and Tom Purdy
