RED 1 My Current Practices



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.
