Experimental

For this project I will be working with Fiona Allen and Marie-Anne Crew. I came up with the idea, and took on the role as Director/Producer. During this project I feel we have all put equal effort into the project in. Mari-Anne was the Camera-woman/Editor whilst Fiona took on the role of Sound Artist/Editor.

Initially we had the idea of using the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling, we were going to explore the opposites of girl VS boy along with how one person can overcome daily struggles as outlined in the poem. However upon closer inspection and trying to develop this idea it became apparent that it was not strong enough and therefore not viable enough to become the main concept of our film.

Once we stepped back and stopped thinking to hard I came up with the idea of giving life to an inanimate object. We wanted to use something that would be friendly and familiar to the audience. We settled upon the use of a teapot, whilst shopping for said teapot we came across two that were strong favourites for the leading role. It was in that moment that we decided to use both teapots, we developed our idea to involve both teapots big and little.

the link below was something I stumbled accross when I was researching experimental film,
although only very short i think it it very powerful. I adore the idea of how ones person night turns into anothers day, and the effect of distortion that it takes. The use if light to represent the ending of one day and the birth of another.
the edit is tight as it shows the sun move from one continent to another
