Discussions of the Experimental Projects
During the discussions on our film me and my project partner, Amy, have both suggested films (feature and shorts) that we should watch as inspiration and preparation for our own projects. I suggested short films by Maya Deren such as 'Meshes of the Afternoon' which we had watched in our Film Theory lecture. This was because the style and editing of that film among her others have inspired our vision of the surrealist approach we wish to take in our film project. We also discussed the short and feature length films of David Lynch who has inspired us both. We discussed his use of uncomfortable sounds which inspired our ideas behind our sound project, for example in his short film 'Steps', and the way he tackles narrative structure in his films, for instance in 'Lost Highway'.
I also have been looking at the art work of Salvador Dali. After having researched him a little I came across 'Un Chien Andalou' as well as Dali's own (fake) documentary 'Impressions de la Haute Mongolie'. This was helpful as it showed how Dali's own artistic style can be adapted for film as his artwork is quite difficult to achieve without the use of animation.
We discussed the sounds needed for our experimental audio project as well. When we showed our initial draft to our group we decided that there were some sounds that needed to be replaced, and others added in. We also did, as a test, layering of all of our sounds which we intend to improve for our final project.
