Experimental Film: Time

I watched this short experimental film on vimeo and I liked the concept of the bottles in the beginning, they made the viewer really question what their purpose was and it inspired me to want to incorporate several bottles into my experimental film as well.

I came across this short film and instantly got inspired to create a short film about alcohol intoxication too and the feelings/emotions it gives different people.

I liked the idea of entering the mind of a drunk person. I've heard several times that people speak the truth, spill their secrets and express how they really feel when they are intoxicated so I planned to explore that further.

Resulting in the idea I currently have which is to film, the darker side of the emotions when drunk. I chose this instead of the light, hyper, fun and free feeling because I wanted to include some depth to it. A story perhaps. So I went searching for some poetry written by drunk people and stumbled upon a page where people submit poetry that they write when they are intoxicated and it was interesting to read all of these poems. To empathise with each individual writer and get an understanding of what they were feeling in that very moment in time & how they let it pour out through their fingertips. 

So I will be using a poem as a voice over to different clips of an intoxicated person. Some of the clips will tell the story of the poem but they will be intense and quick-paced, it's meant to be mess with your mind a little bit, and be a bit of jumble because that's how you feel when you're drunk. Messed up.
