Tideline

Moving water supplies the action. The treatment holds attention on the changing boundary between foam and the darker surface.

Treatment notes

The subject

Water is continuously changing within a limited frame. There is no presenter or product to introduce.

The shot

A wider view lets several patterns develop at once. The treatment favours duration over a fast sequence of unrelated images.

The edit

The shot stays with the moving water. In a longer film, it could provide a pause between closer views of the shore.

The sound plan

An environmental sound bed would be developed separately. This image study contains no audio.
