Take the 2-minute tour ×  There is a category of film and a
contest I read about some years ago. The rules were:    • sixty
seconds or less   • black and white   • no cuts fades or edits
• stationary camera   • no sound  the idea was to mimic
filmmaking technology available at the dawn of time. I want to
introduce the idea to my son but can't remember where I found it
or the name of it.  share|improve this question add comment  2
Answers  up vote 2 down vote accepted  Generally "Minimalism" is
more about shedding content to focus on the essence,
"eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts."
This does not necessarily require the elimination of sound or
strict use of b/w.  Another term used for a Minimalist like film
back in the 1970s was "lean".  What you are describing is more
like emulating a silent film which reached its peak in 1928.  If
you only use b/w, 60 seconds, no camera movement (pans, tilts,
tracking), no cuts, no edits what you have is one clip from a
stationary camera. This in it
