So far, I have managed to develop my idea into brief narrative, so currently I am developing it more by organising a storyboard and looking at inspirations and iconography.  I need to  - organise the different locations/parts to film - get a box - write equipment needed - sort a shooting schedule. A lot of my film will be relying on post production, so Im just trying to organise what I need to shoot with what (some things slow motion, etc) so I don't miss anything. The detail and b-roll still needs to be sorted a bit more, however that should not take long at all.

I forgot to upload these, but prior to my first shoot I did some test shots while I was in the area of shooting to see roughly what the turn out could be.

While doing/starting this project, I had a few inspirations in mind. I knew basquiat used to be in an experimental band called Gray, I decided at the very beginning that I wanted to do a rotary phone at the start of my piece, which came from 'Suicide Hotline' when I heard the phone noises. I then looked at the visual aspect of the painting and made notes, and then the meaning. Because the painting is about capitalism, I decided I wanted to use metallic industrial sounds to create an intense and churning atmosphere; kind of like the beginning sequence of Metropolis but in audio form. While listening to Gray's album, Drum Mode was relevant for this as I liked it's echoing and beat - hence the first booms in my piece. I then looked around at other experimental sound pieces around the theme of capitalism and metal. - William Basinski - The Disintegration Loops gave me the idea of noises clashing w music-y kinda stuff/whispery. This inspired me to experiment wit

Because I couldn't decide on what photos to use, I decided to try look at them as a layout using word. #1 is with the older portrait as its own photo. #2 i tried it with the edited morgue photo these two are with trying a different 'main portrait' in the top right compared to the other two. and also with trying two different middle right ones. overall, i decided to go with this layout. I think the editing with just the photo and flower looks nice, and the gazes in all the other photos compliment each other well

these photos were heavily inspired by william eggleston. i really enjoyed taking these and i think i captured an atmosphere.
