MY METHOD OF WORKING pt 4

My main areas of investigation, which I’ll be focusing on for the rest of the semester, are in relation to developing my style as a filmmaker. I will explore how images can organically develop a structured narrative with the sole intention to recreate the strong images I have in my mind and want to bring to life. Essentially, my aim from this task is to produce a film that’s built around the visuals rather than creating a structured story and constructing the film around that narrative.

As my main priority is the image, pre-production will consist of me completely disregarding the screenwriting process, rather taking my story concept and brainstorming the imagery I’ve visualised to be depicted in the film within the type of shots, accompanied with the stylised mood lighting to illuminate and enhance the image. Additionally, as I’ve set my film at night and majority of the scenes in a car, I will need to consider how these factors will affect the technical aspects such as the camera, lighting and sound set-up. Therefore, I intend to do a few sound and camera tests for the purpose of lighting design and gaining familiarity of using the equipment within the spatial constrictions of a moving car.
