The Pitch.

We have been given a list of obstructions to adhere by when making our experimental film.

1. One person or object should be the feature of our project.
2. A real location must be used, no sets.
3. Non linear narrative.
4. No found sound.
5. No use of sound purely as an explanation of screen action.
6. You must include at least one aspect in your production that references the mechanics of film making.


For my idea i started by writing down concepts that fascinate me, my first theme came quite quickly, i wanted to play around with how people use television to validate themselves.

Here are some of my notes from my pitch. 

For the theme i want to explore voyeurism and how people use television to validate themselves, i want to create a world within my experiemental film where the viewer is unsure if what they are watching is real or a film. I want the audience to be aware that what they are watching is a film and to also consider how they watch and respond to films.

The first half will be set inside a house,with exception to the opening shot which fits with the non linear narrative part of the breif, which will feature the main character walking around on a sunny day. Jump cut to the character watching television in the dark, they suddenly see themselves on screen, we are transported to the original shot and the second half will intercut between the television screen and the outside world.

To fit in with the breif i will make the sound non diegetic, i will be using sounds i have recorded myself.

To reference the mechanics of film making i will have the character looking straight into the audiences eyes for the end scene.

(Unfortunately i have lost the rest of the notes)
