Experimental Film - Introduction

To start off this project, we began looking at various experimental films that past students had created. The one that stood out most for me was one called 'Lost and Found'. In this particular film, the students wanted to use items found in Farnham that were not wanted or needed by anyone. An example of this is how the students ended up asking various charity shops if they were allowed to go through their bins to find things that they felt were interesting enough to use. The actual execution of how they showed the items was what I liked most about the film. They made it so that there was a glass screen and it was as though you were sat looking from underneath looking upwards. They would then proceed to put the things that they found on the glass screen which would then be followed with some aged footage of what corresponds to the item; an example of this is when they put leaves down on the glass screen, they would then show footage of some tree's or bushes to show that that is where the chosen item came from.
