Film (extract from workbook)

For my film I have already decided to create a series of stills that run from one to the next. The reason for this is because I want the stills of my project to create a rapid narrative. It is also because I wanted to have a few series of images that speed up to look like a moving image, with a jerky quality to them. As the subject of my narrative was a nightmare I kept having, in re-creating this I wanted it to seem like a dream. When you wake up from your dreams you can never remember every detail of what has happened and so the idea of skipping from one thing to another seems to make sense within this representaion of my nightmare.
Things within the dream wont necassirly make sense but like dreams there are parts that are just completely abstract and sometimes completely out of context. An example of this within my work will be the use of props such as a pair of scissors and a knife. However these do make sense to me in my dreams because they were used as an act of brutal torture. Within my film they wont be so obvious to people watching. I am also going to add text within my film just to narrate or question what is happening. Perhaps even ask the viewers rhetorical questions just to engage them a little bit more. I want people to feel like they are involved within my dream. I know this is going to be quite challenging to do and thats why I am doing it. Its like giving myself an obstacle to overcome. I am really looking forward to doing the editing.
