I Had my Personal Tutorial yesterday about my experimental film for the Other Cinema unit. It went very well! I took along my Ideas Journal we were told to create and he was very impressed with the ideas!
The Mind of a Filmmaker will be interesting, crazy and fun. It won't take on usual conventions of a experimental film, by being dark, slow and depressing. It'll be upbeat, exciting, frantic, mad, colourful, magical, cinematic, insightful! All these things will be covered in the film, it's a 3 minute short film and for it's quirkyness to come across, the scenes will need to be quick, pacey yet cover what it needs to well.
The theme will revolve around using your imagination. To do what you want as a filmmaker, the ultimate creative career. To make things that aren't real, real. The film will incorporate a character (which may turn out to be me, after my discussion yesterday) with a voice over (me) on top of the action.
A series of experiences, events, moods and styles of filmmaking will be encountered by this character as he walks through each location.
False rain, parties, characters, changing locations, sound, protestors, restaurants, changing lights, Everything!
The film will end with a spectacular epic finale that incorporates as much cinematic magic as it can! Explosions, drama, fantastic tracking shots and more, it will look amazing!
I can't wait to start making this film!
Yes, it's an ambitious idea, but i'm confident I can make it look as spectacular as it sounds!
Here are some images from my Ideas Journal:
