scratch film process
It is difficult to combine scratch film and live action film. Because scratch film are usually abstract but live-action parts are concrete. However, as the theme of dreams, I think it is worth trying to combine abstract and concrete. For the live-action movie, I plan to use stop-motion shooting mode, while the scratch movie is presented in an abstract form, mostly express the atmosphere and color of dream. Therefore, It can show the scene of traveling back and forth in the real world and dreams.
In the part of the stop-motion, I will use an abnormal trajectory to show the dynamics of the characters, so this part may not have an obvious storyline. At the same time, I will add a part of rotoscoping in the stop-motion movie to make people more difficult to distinguish whether it is a dream or reality.
In the part of scraping, I will pay attention to the performance of colors, because dreams are usually colorful, and the flickering colors will make the whole film more dramatic.In the part of scraping, I watched many references and representative works such as Swinging The Lanbeth Walk (1939) by Len Lye.This provided some inspiration and ideas for my final work.
