Experimental Film Research

This is a great example of a student experimental film, looking at the topic of fluidity. The concept is simple link is dropped into a tank of clear water and filmed the reaction. This type of experimental film would fit into the Pure and Simple category, which I am planning on choosing. The other Categories include; Experimental Documentary, Time lapse/ Animated, Screen Dance film, and Fashion Film. 

Vlogging Progression

I have created an account and purchases some music to be used on my vlogging channel on youtube. All the music and sound effects are royalty free and are categorized  into themes so that I can find the best style of music for my videos.

Animated Short Film Idea 2

The second idea for my independent animated film, is a personal story about my Grandfather. The story will be a journey that we used to take from my grandparents house to the local store, to pick up the newspaper. The story will illustrate my relationship with my grandfather and show myself growing up and my grandfather growing old.

Animated Short Film Idea 1

Physics is one of my greatest interests and one that I am constantly learning more about. In particular I am passionate about Astronomy, the study of space. Michio Kaku is one of the worlds foremost physicists and co founder of String theory.


This is a digitally created image of what scientists believe string theory looks like on a super microscopic level. In Physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. 

My idea is to make an educational science film explaining the string theory or another scientific theory that children might find hard to understand.

Diertation Proposal Research

My dissertation proposal is on the psychology of film and how audiences are manipulated by subliminal messaging. I will also be looking at the Halo Effect and how it effects our outlook on other people and our own life. To do this I researched some of Derren Browns work which give an interesting take on the psychology of  audience manipulation, he conducted many experiments to show how audiences can be influenced.

Essay Research

Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian psychoanalytic philosopher, cultural critic, and a Marxist scholar. He is a senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana. He is famous for his theories on ideology and even made a film called a perverts guide to cinema which illustrates the power to be able to see ideology. Using his theory I was able to dissect the movies that we studied in our lectures.
