Film Proposal

In the experimental film, we want to make it obvious that there is a daily routine that takes place partly in the main living area, in this situation, the kitchen. As in the sound piece we want to show this through the 'eyes' of fish. We want to carry on this idea of projecting the Sense of Place through the fish. The film will be shot from one angle just behind the fish bowl, opening with the light through the blinds.

The main thing we want to portray here is a sense of daily routine, with the atmosphere of water and fish swimming around watching all the action unfold, a complete plan of what the 'action' is yet has not been decided of yet but we have some ideas.

• Waking up
• Opening blinds
• Use of the kitchen appliances
• Housemates/couples argument?
• A party?

The point of us filming the action through the fish bowl is so that the audience cannot clearly see what is happening, or clearly understand. The sense of place will be apparent through the use of the one shot, watching everything happening and passing them by, with it beginning quiet, building up and then quiet at the end, leaving the fish swimming a lot. Refections will be key to show the action, if you actually look at a fish bowl from different angles, you can see that the curved glass shows the fish bigger or smaller from all angles, then with the blurriness of the background with the interesting underwater effect sound to accompany this could make for an interesting piece.

We are researching ways to shoot and after effects we can apply, for example using a fish eye lens as well. We may also play with colour like in the film Rumble Fish (1983) were in one scene everything is black and white apart from the fish.
