Duration of Videos in Video Unit

There is no set duration
for the length of Videos for the Elective.

I would keep it down in time  though
As this then allows you to work more on quality / content.

If you think about adverts
They are between 30 secs
To 60 secs

Obviously 30 secs of animation
is far more labour intensive
Than 30 secs of filmed / edited action.

Your work is about ideas,
ways of seeing
Or  how things may be (visually) interpreted or understood

(different to commercial)
So
Try & keep below 5 mins
Unless you can’t
Eg; the work demands more time (in your opinion).

I hope that helps.
