I think it's decided that I am ready to stop experimenting across different mediums and develope my ideas and concepts in one, which will be film.
I would eventually like to make a short feature film with scripted characters and multiple camera angles. obviously this will take a lot of time and is a very ambitious plan so as to keep my general practice of film up while i am developing this idea i will be making short films of different content and concepts.
one idea is to deliberatly create events/happenings in real life and film them in a documentry style way, for example i might take some people into a public space which has laws/rules/regs that i disagree with and test them out by breaking them, repeatedly, then compiling the footage to make a film. this will mean collecting volunteers who are willing to be tossers on purpose in public....
another issue bought up in the review was my reluctance to revisit an idea or even remake a whole film, the film in question being my most recent. doing this is a reality in the film world and is something i need to get used to however tiresome it might be going over things. research is also something which should be integral to my practice and over the last week i have been looking at film makers such as Guy Maddin and Peter Greenaway which has had a positive effect if not a strange effect on my dreams...
so the next step is to continue research, develope a fast idea for a documentary style film and start the long process of a feature film which probably will not take shape until early summer.
peace
