A similar project that I do with students are 'sample movies'. the idea is that a film/video camera (and/or sound recorder) are sampling machines (eg 25 fps) so we make this literal. You use your video camera and you then sample for a similarly defined interval. eg 5 seconds every 5 minutes for an hour. Sometimes the hour is nominated (eg from 5pm), sometimes not. There is no editing, no additional soundtrack. Some of the works are beautiful, some mundane. But it is a good exercise to get them to think about simple content, simple rules for the generation of content, and how to frame/compose the everyday so that it looks decent.
