Esther was unable to attend this session so we told and explained our basic idea to Dom instead which was a great help as he pointed us in the right direction in terms of camera angles etc. Overall I think he did like our idea, however he was in strong agreement with us that we were scared that our idea was going to be too "narrative" and not experimental enough.
So, in order to achieve the "Experimental" look as much as possible he said to try and be spontaneous with the filming rather than having a really strict storyboard to follow as sometimes, the more spontaneous the shot ideas are on set when filming, the more likely they are to steer away from narrative and more to achieving Experimental correctly.
We also realised much more research is needed then what is just shown in the session itself so we all agreed as a group to research into Experimental film as much as possible, whether it be in the library, online or watching films. This way, hopefully we will have grasped the concept much better then we are at the moment.
