Aims:
- Short experimental film
- I intend to create a 3-5 minute experimental film
- Experimenting techniques (scratching and painting onto film)
- Elements of surrealism through the visual aspects (photographs)
- Themes of body image and disorientation
- This film would be exhibited in an art house gallery
Main Influences
Stan Brakhage
For my experimental film I intend to scratch onto a film strip. To do this I will use coloured permanent markers and tip-ex and then using a needle I will scratch onto film, creating marks. I took inspiration from Brakhage's films 'Stellar' (1993) and 'Moth Light' (1963). In 'Moth Light' (1963) you see close ups of moth wings that Brakhage has attached onto the film strip and in 'Stellar' (1993) you see different colours painted onto the film strip. Brakhage explored the colours people see when they close their eyes, this is shown in 'Stellar' (1993) as Brakhage has painted onto the film.
This is 'Stellar' from 1993 created by Brakhage.
This is Brakhage's 'Mothlight' experimental film from 1963.
