For my final project I would really like to explore Final Cut further since I have only used it for the last two projects. I thought it would be effective to create a dream sequence to do this so that I may investigate interesting editing techniques and effects. The video is going to be fragmented also, since most dreams do not follow a linear pattern and often do not make sense at first. That way I feel that I would really be able to take liberties while editing. I want to convey the feeling one gets after having an odd dream when they may feel a bit confused and unusual.
Style/Aesthetic: To make it a little more surreal I plan on having it mostly, if not all, black and white. I feel that this will help the mood of the film since it is supposed to be a creepy/weird dream. I hope to find some effects on Final Cut also to propel this idea. I also plan to have the camera angles from the main character’s (the person who’s having the dream) point of view although her face will never be shown.
Location: I will be filming a lot outside in the woods at Hampshire, possibly Amherst, and some indoors
Sound: There will be no dialogue in this piece. The only audio will be a song entitled “Short.” I hope that this song will give an eerie vibe to the dream sequence.
Timeline:
4/18 – 4/23: Shoot video
4/23 – 4/28: Edit! Edit! Edit!

sounds original.
Dreamscapes often convey surreal imagery. The walls may be warped or strange objects are brought in connection with each other. Maya Deren’s Meshes in the Aftenoon comes to mind or other surrealist films. You can actually find some of them on youtube.I hope you will also think of interesting camera work as a means to propel your ideas.
