Idea Development and Project Planning For Experimental Film

     For my experimental film project, myself and Andrew Espley decided to work together to create a creepy and interesting piece by shooting lots of certain locations around Sheffield.

      We originally wanted to make more of a up beat film of parts of Sheffield using our inspiration from Daybreak Express. Our aim was to make a illusion within the film that the city of Sheffield was having sex. We had complications with achieving this as we were prohibited from using any music that could process and bring any copyright troubles so therefore after discussing this idea with our mentor and fellow students it was made clear we should move on from that idea.

    We then decided to re-use our experimental sound as that gave quite a creepy sort of mood which we thought would go well with our film.

     On the day of production we shot lost of different locations around Sheffield such as
churches, the town hall and other old prestige looking buildings as we wanted to compare such "good looking" buildings with other buildings that, were only perhaps 5 minutes away, which were abandon and half destroyed. Myself and Andrew liked the look of these buildings as they were mostly covered with very interesting colourful graffiti. We felt it was a bit of a safety risk entering these buildings but we met no bother what so ever. Also shooting went very well as we collected a lot of sound to work with in the edit.
