14 december introduction Piotr Dumala
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.
