Wednesday’s presentations were all very interesting. While we presented three at a time and somehow managed to finish in time, the feedback the panel gave us was very helpful and gave all of our projects, whether all of us decide to move forward with them or work together in groups, each project now seems to have solid foundations to move forward from.
Some very valuable feedback I got for my project was less about the content and narrative (especially since my film concept is very experimental and non-conventional), and more about how to possibly connect and link the very different concepts and ideas. The possibility of using an actual phone to film was brought up as a convention to possibly bring all of the concepts together in a neat little package. this idea really appealled to me. Whether I only use a phone, or use a mixture of phone and DSLR camera to film, it will not only create a motif and aesthetic link between the vignettes/moments, but it will comment further on the key concept of the film, how we treat and anthropomorphise objects, animals and places in order to feel more secure within our own reality, but this treatment id not necessarily fair to the object, animal or place (it only benefits us).
