The Art of Procrastination
Moving Image – Short film
Unit 3 and 4 Media
SAT Folio and Product
My short film follows a stressed-out student battling the ultimate academic enemy — procrastination. Days slip away as he finds increasingly absurd ways to avoid finishing his Media assignment: cleaning his desk, cleaning his whole house, checking his phone, writing ‘to do’ lists, and excessively exercising. As the deadline looms, panic sets in and he turns, in desperation, to ChatGPT for help. I aimed to include a chaotic blur of crash zooms, whip pans, and Edgar Wright–style quick cuts that mirror his frantic mind. Blending humour with self-awareness, I aimed for my film to explore how modern students juggle distraction, guilt, and technology in their quest to get things done — often at the very last minute.
