If I had ten words rather than ten seconds to express my identity it would be these:
Random
Eccentric
Frivolous
Chaotic
Humorous
Low-brow
Earthy
Colourful
Messy
And wild
I didn’t want to take myself too seriously; I think in expressing all of the above things my projects succeeded. I knew my inexperience in working with film I would have to embrace low production values and I’m still impressed with how many hours I spent deteriorating the quality of my film til it was comedically appalling. I was searching for the cult film appeal – i.e. it’s so bad it’s good.
Failures in the film are that the titles may go too quickly for some people to read and the whole thing had to be squashed together quite hard, however I like the rapid fire pacing. I also had a lot of trouble lighting my set as I didn’t want dual shadows on my background -sure it’s obvious that it’s a set but I didn’t want it to be that obvious- and there are some quite hard highlights bouncing off my painted volcano but they just add to the tacky brilliance.
Another failure of the piece is that the score is definitely not original however I feel it fits quite well and isn’t too distracting.
Overall I am quite pleased.
