R.E.D. 1
My Current Practices
My previous work could be defined as being very conventional
in narrative and direction, I think that
I demonstrate a certain directorial presence in my work, that is to say that I
think my films feel solid and coherent in terms of story and I think you can see the level of control
that I exert over my projects.
Certainly as my confidence has grown, you can see my work becoming increasingly idiosyncratic.
For example my first project "Jeefs" was much more of a collaboration between myself and my
partner although I would say that I had less input on story and construction than if did on
locations. whereas my last film " Capture the Rabbit " was very much
a product of my own design, whether or not this is a positive aspect remains to
be seen.
What I decided to take from my experiences of making "
Capture the Rabbit " was my
willingness to direct and construct, I
looked another one of my films " The Walking Test" and I
knew that I could write something humorous and I could get performances from
relatively in-experienced actors especially as I had decided that I would play
one of the parts myself, this would give me the opportunity to help support the
other actor/actors. My experience in
writing scripts meant that I knew exactly how
the film to come across to an
audience, thus hopefully demonstrating my own practices and working methods.
