Notes

Polish music

First seperately, make it into one.

Life action and Animation.

What is the spirit of cinema?

Editing is the most spiritual thing of my work.

How much music can influance the story

Emotions&abstration of film.


  • Life action film and Animation

T.V. was a small house of farytail

a window to enter the alternativ world.

The world beyond 18 was impossible to image.

Film Glass-Eye ( David Lynch)

6 or 5 years old and I was scared, although there is no monster, no murder, but the loss of controll is what gives the unsecure feeling.


The force of the film image

inner truth

surprise and espectation

Film and dream, you cannot touch the development of the dream, like film.


Film White Srawberry's ( Bergman, swedish film)

Watched it when I was home alone

How dreams could be reproduced in film

Resamble silence cinema

Horror ( early cinema) were based of bringin alive monsters.Like Nosferatu, Frankenstein.

Melkovich - Nosferatu actor

Laurent & Hardy, Chaplin are Simular to Bergmans films.

  • Rosemary's baby Music
  • Non verbal narrative


I used animation to tell a story ( you write through film)

Animating is like writing, in your own world, very intimate.

Freedom from the hassle from the world.

Scratching in plaster with paint.

It is an illusion.

il Loes ion

Kafka Animation:

In Animation distortion is not important , discontinuity is animation.


Film The forest ( Piotr Dumala) IMDB

About nearness of death and Father& Son relation.

A parallel story, two stories mixed together.

Two men who are lost in the forest, two simultanieus plots, parralell stories. Silent film.



Story Only through body language and soundeffects.

Dialoque takes place in real time

Time in cinema should have nothing to do with real time

Principle of reduction

Created space V.S. Real space

Laction, litterary work

Secret of what is a life or not, who is a doll who is real

One film can embody more films.


Film Crime and punishment, from book of Rascouikov.

About killing for money and t=he courage for doing it?

30 minutes balance between Good and Bad

Being in love and hate at the same time

  • Make different editing

Justkovonich music for new film

Music as script: Story without words+ emotional Story.

Story as abstract

I was too serious, creates bigger distance.


Film Death man


Assignment

Make a Small animation seq. Like in film Un chien Andalou.

Salvador Dali- dreamlike story.

Make a dreamlike small story, seperatly or in small groups.

You can use one piece of Pawelszymanski his music as inspiration or soundtrack.

Film is about SHOWING stories, not telling

It is not to imitate real life conversation, it is parralel live/ parralel world.

Image and edit is the most important. Sound and Language is the 3th place.

Film Mattias muller/ Homestories

Film made out of found footage, using the parralel space/world.

We will try to do this with all your clips. Make them into one.

Instructions

Please make an animated or life action silent sequence which looks like a seperate part taken from a bigger film.

Work seperatly or make a team of 2-3 persons if you use pixilation or work on life action scene.

Don't use too many protagonists in your film, max 3.

Focus on the Emotional expression of the scene or sequence.

You can start from imagine a tittle of your work which could play role of the literary base or context.

It can be one word: Love, seperation, meeting, silence, joy, beginning, death, revange, emptyness.

Or more descriptive: The end of the world, black dog, last change, stupid day, grey room etc.

It can also be a quotation from literature of observation etc.

Be unambigious with the description of movement or action of the object er persons. Imagine that the scene can contains the beginning, presentation ( description) of situation or person.

Then something happens what evokes reaction and possible change or action.

You can use shots of some objects or costumes which you think can be useful in your work.

Good to include to your film a scene of come in or go off, appear and disappaer etc.

Make your film no longer then 2 minutes.

End result
