Process Film Idea

Me and Kass' process film idea was to show how to make a horror movie. But we wanted to make it scarier, so we thought that in the process of showing how to make a horror movie, we would also show how to summon a demon! We would have a voice over explaining the steps of how this would happen. While they made the horror movie, they would accidentally summon a demon or ghost.

French New Wave Films

While watching these examples of some French New Wave films, like 400 Blows, I could definitely feel the rebellion. They were low budget, black and white films, but they were so impactful and different. It started a new era of amazing film makers such as Greta Gerwig and Quentin Tarentino. I also started to realize some of my favorite films were heavily inspired by the French new wave. Like Her! Her is one of my favorite movies ever so now I understand why I love French new wave so much!

Italian Neo-Realism

Today, we watched some Italian Neo-realism films, such as Bicycle thieves and the Exterminating Angel.I thought they were very refreshing. In Bicycle thieves, it almost seemed as if I were win the film, watching the main character go through his life. It was so simple yet so beautiful. LIFE AS IT IS.  But for the Exterminating Angel, I felt anxious and scared. They're was a sort of chaos that I felt while watching it. I would love to do my own version of these two films.

My Experimental Film

My experimental film is representing chaos and and curiosity in young teens and the world around them. Its supposed to extract fear and anxiety. The bells and the birds at the end represent peace. Its almost as if you're free from the afterlife.

Twin Peaks

I thought the experimental film from Twin Peaks was extremely interesting. I felt scared, almost. Watching it, was confused and intrigued. When we found out what the meaning was, it all made sense! Im a big fan of Twin Peaks and it gave me  new found respect for the show and Christopher Nolan.

Experimental Film Idea

In my vision for my experimental film, I imagine I'm at the park, by my house. Its dusk and it's completely empty except for a dark figure in the field. As the camera gets closer, the figure is moving. Its face is a mirror facing the point of view of the filter but nothing is there. The background is bees buzzing in a chaotic way, like an orchestra. Then, it goes back to the park and on the swing, and the figure is seen slightly, far away. The moon and clouds are visible through the trees. There are strange looking symbols flashing on the screen, then it goes dark.
