Comparative Film Practices BAFI205 - 23rd November

Wednesday 23rd November 2016              Comparative Film Practices             Dan Paolantonio

Pitching Super 16mm Project Ideas - Discussed ideas about possible VO, how the film would be shot, did some location scouting on the internet, looking around Plymouth to find suitable and reachable places. We thought about the content for the film as well, trying to understand the content for our film.


Decasia - Bill Morrison

On first look I loved the visuals for this short film which I thought were very appetising, I found myself scanning across the screen picking out the images that were underlaid, trying to make sense of the storyline, if any. The way the images were repeated, it gave the impression of a cycle, linking back to the footage of workers, we see the processes involved for developing film.

Through the archive footage that was used and the series of events that unfolded on the screen, i think that this piece had a link to space and time, the way that the camera panned across action, the way of movement through people i.e. dancing around or just walking from place to place. The music itself played a huge part towards bringing the visuals to life, almost gave the impact of emotion that the subjects on screen were feeling towards certain parts of the film.
