Girl Chewing Gum - John Smith (1976)

'Girl Chewing Gum' by John Smith is a crafted short film depicting everyday life on one street with a voice over desribing what happens.

Craft
As the film goes on it appears the narrator, who initially acts like the director, may not actually be at the scene and is now predicting what will happen and gives most characters a story about where they are going and what they are doing. It is eventually revealed that the narrator isn't there and is apparently in a field miles away.
When the film finishes, it is clear that the footage was most likely pre-recorded and the voice over was added later.

Concept
When the narrator gives the characters stories he adds another dimension to the film so it goes from random people on the street to real people with real stories.
