Wild Card cew position.

For the wild card project I was assigned as a Director of Photography and Lead Editor. I am trying to get back into a creative frame of mind as I've somehow become consumed with the technical aspects of shooting. I understand that that is an important aspect of filmmaking but my creativity has taken a back seat to "filling in the blanks" of filmmaking and not been a primary focus. So with this project I hope to be more creative with my shooting style. I plan to mix many of the styles I've been learning from all types of films in order to make the film visually appealing and to keep it moving in an exciting manner. As a group we want to use filters and lighting to enhance dream-like sequences and close-ups to stress the importance of the action in the film. Our goal overall is to indicate to the viewer that our female lead is wandering in and out of reality as she is being abused. In the edit it will at times become quick cuts and jarring images that will lead to calm and serene settings as our female lead is removing herself from her current situation and into her dream state. So I am hoping to utilize extreme shooting styles from quick close-ups and hand held shots, to wide, calm, dreamy sequences.
