DIALOGUE, MISE-EN-SCENE AND EXPERIMENTAL

霸王别姬
just some of the movies i have been watching to get inspirations.
-----
i strive to be as experimental as possible, if not i dunno when is the next best time to do it other than this class.
-----
i love to people watch. i enjoy that moment of thought that i put into it.
do i know this person?
what if im related to him?
it can happen in different situations, to different people and in so many different ways.
-----
this film is going to be largely based on my personal approach in trying to discover human connection and the lag they possess.
so entirely, the film will be shot with a handycam, incorporating the spy cam / voyueristic feel.
angles are going to be weird, lighting is going to be au naturale.
emphasizing on just the lag of the human connection, im going to omit sounds and atmospheric sounds. make it like a silent film.
-----
this is an excerpt of my script.
ME
(to myself)
Hi, do I know you?
That certain time.
That certain moment.
That certain place.
That certain situation.
That certain people.
That certain person.
When you feel you almost know the person.
INT. TRAIN CARRIAGE – DAY
Character A is seated down in the train carriage doing his/her thing with the scenery outside zooming pass fast.
ME
(to A)
Hello.
Have we met before?
Character A
NO
-----
*edit.
im surprised no one chose to do anything experimental.
apparently, the comments i received for my film that it was too silent and the sound quality is lacking in the dialogue.
therefore my V2.0 shall take this into consideration.
maybe the dialogue is too short.
-----
i've added a monologue.
i've up the sound quality.
i've added more 'no' answers. (variations)
but i still kept some scenes silent to keep the essence of the silent film going.
