I hope that although Film 3 has draw to a close I will continue to think of vignettes and to potentially even shoot some. I think it’s a project of worth, one with a theme that I find fascinating. I think that with more time I will place a greater emphasis on research and looking at other works that explore similar ideas for inspiration. I think that by paying homage or incorporating other’s ideas I might be able to develop a more sophisticated exploration. I feel that what I have completed for Film 3 is very much an exploration of the format and my work capabilities and ethics. With a continuation I would focus more on narrowing my theme, finding a specific phenomenon that I can analyse to a greater depth.
Shifting my work approach I think would also yield interesting results. I believe that if I spent more time developing ideas and how they would fit together as a film would give me a greater sense of focus. Although I discussed it throughout semester, I think that the way in which the vignettes are assembled is particularly important. By preplanning the vignettes I feel that this assembly could make the film more powerful. Preplanning would also allow any reoccurring events or aspects to be nurtured and accentuated. In saying this, I still believe that improvisation and experimental is key to a project of this type. I have really relished embracing this new way of working and I found that it pushed me into new areas of thinking.
