Filmmaker's Intentions
Filmmaker's Intentions
My filmmaker's intention for this solo film was to show how insomnia feels through the lens of the character. Since subjectivity is about showing how the character feels experiences from their own perspective rather than from an objective third person perspective I decided to use insomnia as a way to convey this. As an editor I distorted the clips and the audio to show the effect of insomnia on the character's mind and memory recollection, this is to show how the character was feeling throughout the whole film. I was mainly inspired by the movie Fight Club (1999) wait it to came to the concept and editing choices being made.
