Experimental Film - Further Development (Updated Synopsis)
After much thought and having asked my friends and peers about my idea, I have come to the conclusion that my original idea may be too complex. I'm not going to completely abandon the idea as I still think it has a lot of potential to be a good film. I have decided to simplify the idea and instead of showing the relationship between the man and the woman and actually telling a story throughout the video, I wanted to focus on the experimental part of the video which is of course when the man plugs himself into a television and certain videos are played whilst he sits gormlessly. I feel like I really want to try different things when going for the experimental part of the film (deciding what is shown on the television when the man plugs himself in). I do also want to make the viewer feel uncomfortable at times and I have thought about doing this by using certain sound effects like when the man plugs the cable into himself, instead of just seeing it go in, I was thinking about possibly using a squelch sort of effect to emphasise the cable piercing through his skin. Another way I thought about possibly making the viewer uncomfortable was by showing things on the television which the viewers may find distressing like sex or similar explicit content. Of course I wouldn't show videos of people having sex as I want the video to be able to be suitable for all ages but I would work my way around it by changing the shot so that the mans head covers what we see on the television, thus making it so we cannot see the explicit videos.

We watched some really weird stuff today, if you want to get into like uncomfortable stuff for on the television in your idea. Just look up Rachel Maclean, you'll be in for a surprise!
ReplyDeleteOr like if you wanna go more gritty and less colourful, maybe you could look at Panic! at the Disco's video for Miss Jackson? I feel like it might have a vibe that could fit your idea.
