psychoanalytical Film -Evaluation

I intended to reflect the issues presented in such example films as Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man. The idea of someone perceiving themselves to be something that they are not to such an extreme length fascinated me in several different ways.
I wanted to present an individual who had fallen victim to his Id, and his natural instincts had taken over his rational behaviour. I shot this in the format of a fake documentary to amplify the bizarre nature of the subject. This includes interviews with himself and loved ones as well as any candid shots.

I shot this primarily with hand held camera movement to give the film a much more realistic feel, as if it were an actual documentary.
I tried to make the shoot as spontaneous looking with less cinematic angles and more of simply following the subject round with the camera.
I also included footage of the camera being set up before the actual shoot itself which furthered the scene of realism in this short film.

The takes I chose to use in the final film were especially long. This was again to further distance myself from the cinematic filming techniques and shots that would not be present in a documentary.
In cinema, filmmakers would be more inclined to use quick cuts and different angles to maintain the interest of the audience, however I chose instead to have the main focus pointed on the subjects of the film, especially during the interview scenes.

To stay true to the documentary format I also chose to not colour correct or stabilise any clips, and just present raw footage as it was filmed. 

As there was going to have to be a fair bit of dialogue to convincingly play this off as a documentary, I had to write a script. This meant organising events into different scenes. I was able to use this structure of the script to organise different clips into different folders during the editing process. This helped to structure the film more easily as I knew which folder to refer to when I was searching for a specific clip.
