For our first project in MEDI259 Christoph and I want to create an experimental short film focussed on working with a miniature set. From the beginning we were fascinated by this way of experimental filming, because it makes the viewer feel as if it were a ‘‘real’’ environment. For this reason, we would like to work with this method but also to improve our technical skills in practical areas like modelling, filming, lighting as well as working with various softwares.
Synopsis: We find ourselves in a fairytale idyll of a similar look of ‘‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’’: Discreet nature sounds and soft music accentuate the unique and mystical atmosphere. From far away we can hear a humming engine and a loud bass beat coming closer. Shortly after that a car door being opened and loudly slammed. An insensitive tourist enters the fairytale world. He gruffly scrunches some flowers, throws an empty can of Coke on the ground while taking pictures of the area like a paparazzi would take them of his victim. Then the tourist leaves and we can hear him drive away.
