pasitheaSo... I have this really great (and by that I mean great in the sense that surely would be great to the mind of a freshman film student, so I should be ashamed) idea for an experimental film.
So... Here's the concept, though I have no idea of the story. Basically, there are people in all the shots but their audio is muffled or drown out and they are out of focus but they are somehow important to the story. The focus, framing, and clear audio, however, is not focused on the people but some object in the foreground or background. Incidental sound and the body language of the people and maybe the audio track tell the story. Perhaps it's a romance between an aging sofa and ghastly lamp with a macrome' shade. Something like that. The story of the objects could be reflected in the story of the people but the idea is to make the people inconsequential; props and metaphors to tell the story of the things in the focus.
Clearly, the easiest way to do with and add to it's weirdness is with a fisheye lense (gets a very narrow depth of field and makes everything look weird. Now I just need to figure out the story.
