Aims & Context


  • Short experimental film
  • I aim to produce a short film around 3-5 minutes long
  • Avant-garde visuals (black and white, high contrast low-key lighting)
  • Elements of surrealism (dream logic, non-narrative form)
  • French New-Wave camera/editing (jump cuts, long takes)
  • Documentary like shots (french new-wave)
  • Target audience will be more art-house/exhibition/gallery as opposed to mainstream cinema complex

Main Influences
  • Luis Buneul - strong use of dream logic and giving my film a non-narrative form. A lack of clear relationships between characters, such as that used 'Un Chien Andalou'
  • Chris Cunningham - After watching 'Rubber Johnny' I took strongly to Cunningham's abstract form in the form of lighting and sound
