Doppelgangers: Seeing Themselves
Meshes of the Afternoon (1943)
Youth in Revolt (2009)
Fight Club (1999)
Black Swan (2011)
Biffy Clyro - "Mountains" music video (2010)
Process of Filming:
I set this in a class room as i've found from research that it's common for people to have dreams of being back at school. I needed these two people to be doing something when together in shot so i made a script for them both to interact, but because what they are saying isn't more important than them being together i made it simple as for just a disagreement. To make this i needed to use split screen meaning i would have to film this twice using the same person but also making sure the camera aswell as everything else remained in the same position.
Reffering to Fight Club I made obvious differences of the same person by the clothes they wore and the character they portraid. I made one wear lighter colours while the other wore dark colours giving the idea that the lighter dressed character is the good guy and the other is the bad guy. I contrasted with this by making the darker dressed character the light hearted and easy going character, where as the other is quite irritable.
Reversed Chronology: An Array of Different People Walking Through a Room With Someone Without Them Realising
Dreams: Cinema of Subconscious Documentary
Michel Gondry's Solving a Rubix Cube (2006)
Coldplay - "The Scientist" music video
The Pharcyde - "Drop" music video
Process of Filming:
Taking this idea from the inception dvd's dream documentary (Dreams: Cinema of subconscious) of an array of different people walking through a room without someone realising. i set this in a home for it to be more unusual that there are people walking through their house. I needed this to be in a continuous filming process as the person in the middle will constantly be in shot while the people walk behind. As I dont have many people to help me with this i'll be using them in shot a few time for walking by but in different outfits. For this i would have them getchanged quickly behing camera while others are in shot. I'll need to plan out exactly what people were wearing and what order they go out in order for this to work. i would be reversing this footage for these people to be walking unusally so i had the people walk backwards when filming for me to reverse the footage for them to walk forward.
Backwards Smoking: Reversed
Shutter Island (2010)
Richard Billingham's "Tony Smoking Backwards" (1998)
Process of Filming:
I'll be Filming someone smoking and once i've got the footage i'll reverse it for the smoke to go backwards. I've filmed at different angles to switch between. After filming i looked back at the footage to find that the smoke didn't show up on camera. As i dont have time to film this again and test out how i can fix this i've had to remove this idea.
Travelling Through the Woods: Following
Francis Alys' photographic documentation of expressing journeys using various materials like unraveling a wool jumper
City of the Lost Children (1995)
Process of Filming:
As i've planned this sequence the most in exact detail for which shots i'd be filming and what order. I took a trip to hartshill hayes woods to find a completely wooded area to film this. During filming i added some extra footage of a close up of my character picking up string and filming the view upwards to the trees above while moving.
Transitional dreams: linking between dream footage
Len Lye
Stan Brakage
Zineb Sedira
Foo Fighters - "Everlong" music video
Process of Filming:
i'll be layering the footage for these creating a middle transitional of dreams. I'll be painting onto clear film at the unravel workshop (longest painted film in britain) where i'll record the results, mix ink in water like Zineb Sedira and drip ink down a plane of glass similarly to the transitions into dream by Michel Gondry's video for Foo fighter's "everlong"
