WEEK ONE

I thought that week 1 of Uncomfortable Filmmaking was a good introduction to what makes film uncomfortable. We looked at some basic codes and conventions of filmmaking and what they tell the audience. This was obviously important because it’s hard to break the rules if you don’t even know them. Something that I am hoping to explore is the different ways that these rules can be broken, and what exactly happens when we do break them. I think that following rules and making a basic film through them is the easy part, but it can be hard to think up creative ways that they can be broken and will successfully convey the message or feeling you want.
