Week 2: Radical Cinema Workshop

This week we are supposed to come up with three idea’s for the short we will be making in this class. I have more so vibes rather than fully fleshed out ideas.

Idea 1: An abduction of myself by myself into this medical sterile surgery room where I am performing surgery on myself. Sort of a piece about personal body image and body standards as a woman. Futuristic vibes.

I really would like to shoot something in a futuristic sterile medical space.

Idea 2: A short about this poem I wrote about skin and image. Kind of futuristic in a way where you can chose which body or which pieces you want of a person.

pay close attention to the people around you.

remember the small details they don’t think you retain.

your brain is filled with everything about them.

get infatuated with everything they do. nestle your way into their lives.

change your way of living just to be like them.

rip apart the skin on their body and wear it on top of yours.

i rip apart my own skin

taking it off like a piece of clothing

so i can wear the next body of someone i’m interested in

so i can become that person

i never have my own personality

i steal it from each and every person i encounter

taking a piece of their flesh and sewing it together onto what’s left of mine

creating the person i want

the person i could never be

Idea 3: Something using aura’s and potentially shot on a thermal camera.
