Our new topic for this semester is "Experimental Film" which i am really looking forward to as I haven't really touched upon this in nay previous work I have made. I hope that with the correct research and enough planning I will be able to achieve a unique and individual piece of experimental work which is different from anything else that has been made yet, along with my two other group members, Natalie and Hannah.
The term "Experimental film" itself describes a range of different film making styles that are mostly different opposed to more typical "mainstream" film making which most commonly follow a direct narrative, where as Experimental does not. This is the part I think as an individual I am going to find most difficult as I have never made nay piece of film before that hasn't followed a basic narrative.
By not having a set narrative to an Experimental piece, it tends to mostly follow a "linear narrative" which involves a lot of repetition of similar images/movements along with various 'abstract' techniques such as out of focus shots, non diagetic sound or even the absence of any sound at all. The main 'goal' or 'achievement' of Experimental film is to engage and involve the audience as much as possible and for them to almost come up with their own view on what they have just watched. This part I am looking forward to as I think it will be interesting to see what different feedback I receive from my fellow peers as hopefully everyone will make their own interpretation of it.
