So this semester we have been given the task of creating our own experimental short film. This film can be anything we like as long as it fits within one of the experimental film strands, which are:
1. Experimental film: pure and simple
2. Experimental Documentary: the Art of story telling
3. Screen dance: in collaboration with dance, dirty dancing.
4. Fashion Film: the new Avant-garde?
5. Time-lapse and related concepts: the wonder of the impossible.
Once decided we then have to split into groups of 4/5 people that are also interested in the same strand of experimental film as myself. Looking at the options above and from the our first lecture i am drawn to two of the following strands (1 and 2).
Pure and simple is nice and easy, it will give me scope to make any kind of film I'd like. However i fear that without structure or any rules to obide by as a group we may stray far from the experimental film path. I can imagine that everyone in the group will have different ideas about what kind of film they'd like to make.
I have always wanted to make a documentary and it is an opportunity to make a film about something important going on in the world at the moment. This would also potentially give me the opportunity to travel and meet with important people working in the area the documentary may be about. I think it would allow me the opportunity to make a real difference on the ground and work to spread the word about a certain cause.
