Freewriting

I'm partly interested in the continuation of some of my ideas and practices from last semester. Where as i focused on city life and the passage of time (some instances were narrative, others not so much), this semester will bring about perhaps a deeper exploration into the elements of a narrative, namely character building and interaction, with or without dialogue, because dialogue is truthfully the least of my concerns as a filmmaker. I believe enough can be communicated by body language, mood, setting, and even camerawork, without having to hear people bitch and moan along scripted lines.

And speaking of camera work, my love of cinematography will be further emphasized and developed this semester. Having a few directors whom i admire for their unconventional camera work, i intend to broaden that list and view things that have either changed, broken or set new rules in classic and contemporary filmmaking. Some might say the word "experimental" could describe breaking this ground, we will see.
