Experimental Film Ideas & Research

-
For my experimental film, I want to make a simple concept more intense by using a white room, a bed and my character whom is going through a dream like state "lucid dreams" which she has no control over, but then she ends up in her own dream in a white wedding dress covered in blood and then carries on dreaming and wakes up as she was before she entered her lucid dream.

For this idea, I was inspired by Billie Eilish's music videos of how they are shot so simply to say a bigger message and Tracey Emin's bed. I haven't planned this fully, but I'm going to book a studio soon and hopefully get Evie Gibbons to play my character sitting on a bed.

As my experimental film explores femininity and female oppression in the media through lucid dream aspects for the concept, I want to add blood as an uncomfortable effect on the audience to what they are seeing on screen to make them more uncomfortable about the one female character who is dreaming. The female character is going to be in a wedding dress or a white dress to symbolize that she is in control of her dreams, whilst in the dream she experiences she gets covered in blood by a rabbit character inspired by David Lynch, The 1975 and Nadia Lee Cohen. 
This is also inspired by the film Donnie Darko which explores time travel and dreaming which is why I want to use another character to explore the fact she has control over her own dreams, and choosing her own adventure or fighter in her own lucid dream. 

I was also inspired by blood from old horror films, and Stanley Kubrick who uses blood to make the audience feel incredibly uncomfortable. 

Some other inspirations for the blood is Filthy Frank or otherwise known as Joji now.


However, in my experimental film the female character is going to be in one position before she gets blood poured over her head by a rabbit before she almost drowns in the blood. This film is similar to mine and Evie's short experimental film based on femininity but explores the theme in a complete different concept.

Dance Film Idea

For my dance idea, I want to do a solo film with one dancer/actor based on giving your venerability people after toxic relationships in general. I have a plan of doing it in a white studio room with one dancer, and a few extras untying the dancer tied up in string. Similar to ballet dancing in terms of how the metaphor is portrayed. I feel that having one dancer in a white empty space helps the metaphor come together in terms of how I want the dance to be portrayed. This dance film will be portraying feminism views and also the feeling of becoming vulnerable to new people after experiencing toxicity socially (in relationships and platonic) and how scary it is opening up to people when you have trust issues (truama). I want to portray this by using ribbons and having three people whom aren't dancing in simple black outfits and the main dancer is a plain nude leotard like in Sia' dance music videos which Sia also portrayed toxicity in "Elastic Heart". I am mostly i...

For my work experience, I was going to work at a film based company that works around social media and creating content based in London.

I started looking around the beginning of the term for work experience. This company is based in Soho, but I got connections from my parents.
