I have been focusing on my internship with Hidden, and also busy with work, I haven’t had the needed time to concentrate on my project as it deserves.
Here are some notes and thoughts on our tutorial.
Consider the form of a fictional documentary. Video in response to a conversation on the top.
Docufiction is the cinematographic combination of documentary and fiction, this term often meaning narrative film. It is a film genre that attempts to capture reality such as it is (as direct cinema or cinéma vérité) and which simultaneously introduces unreal elements or fictional situations in a narrative in order to strengthen the representation of reality using some kind of artistic expression.
Who is going to be the voice? I need the text with a voiceover and do some tests. The video needs an element of reality that balances with the surreal. Maybe I should consider revisiting parts of the interviews I conducted and use the video as help to imagine what the voice tells. And listen to those interviews while watching the film, see how it matches and gives context to what I’ve made.
I also need to think about the titles, credits, sound design and music.
