30 Seconds of Nonsense

One of the things we had to do this week was make a film of "30 Seconds of Nonsense". This could be anything from weird to boring and that meant we could be as creative as we wanted.

I thought about filming my cat, Smudge, in our garden just chasing dog toys or pinecones or following a stick that we dragged through the grass. Although this was fun to do, it wasn't really nonsense.

So I tried getting my little sister to talk as quickly as she could (when she talks that fast no one can really understand a word she says) but she was talking so quickly that she ran out of things to say.

She also didn't want to be on camera so I spun around while she spoke; but spinning around on the spot for 30 seconds made me so dizzy I couldn't walk in a straight line. I even fell over once after 20 seconds...



Due to the fact that my sister couldn't talk fast for 30 seconds, I tried the same spinning idea but without any talking (or laughing) in the background. I spun one way for 10 seconds, the other direction for the next 10 seconds, and then back the first direction for the last 10 seconds to avoid getting too dizzy again.



I also had the idea of writing nonsense on a bit of paper and filming that and then I thought it would be even more nonsense if it was in a font/typeface that was symbols instead of English. So I typed "Nonsense" then changed the font to Wingdings 3. I then printed it out and filmed it for 30 seconds.

 
 
I really like this idea because I think it is funny as it is literally 30 seconds of "Nonsense".
