Backflip on scripted project – Now more experimental

As the Pitch approached I was having second thoughts on the ‘don’t jump’ project. Firstly getting permission to film in a car park would be very difficult. Getting enough actors, and finding funny/weird looking actors would be even harder. Logistically I don’t feel like I’m equip to handle a big shoot. Id also probably have to pay a few people as well. If I were in a group the level I want to make It would be possible but I feel like I might be over shooting its viability.

Looking back in my trove of collected observations and ideas for sketch’s on my phone, I feel like I want to some how integrate all these little ideas to build a big picture. A notable person who comes to mind with this type of style is obviously David Lynch. Hes a pretty big influence for ‘student’ filmmakers because of his daring subject matter and lack of clarity. Over the years I’ve studied his films and TV shows, and accidently falling in the trap of Lynchien dialogue in my own scripts. This style subtracts any sense of realism as the audience is unable to relate. The effect it causes makes us feel uncomfortable and queasy with the combination of odd visuals and strange sounds. I really enjoy this though. Its very ‘emotive’ filmmaking which exacerbates everything in a good way.

I would love to some how link my multiple ideas into some kind of sequence using sound and vision to cycle or between different sketches. I will no longer be doing one sketch but many, focusing on nothing.
