Sea Change- Joe King + Rosie Pedlow

This film contains an extremely innovative portrayal of place thus it inspired to thing of alternative ways of reproducing a setting from leave to its on screen form. I beleive it to be a very influential piece for both my project and for my personal development of a film maker.


Miranda July is an artists who has had an affect on me with regards this project, particularly her use of juxtaposition. She creates a wide ranges of ideas through innovative use of image and this something I attempted to apply to my own works with regards layering meaning.

PRE PRODUCTION-
During the pre production we through around various concepts and ideas over the course of the first week before we settled the ideas of nature as a destructive force. Once we had decided on this after  much deliberation I was able to delve deeper into the realms of research, loooking up films and other pieces of art in search of inspiration in the form of nature and destruction.
