Filming 'Iguana'

The last scenes of the experimental film was done at Endcliffe park with Tom Cunningham, Ben Wardle (actor) and Thomas Fox (volunteer driver).

 

Influences of shot compositions from Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange containing every reel of film shots in the Clockwork Orange film. This shot composition will be used in the scene where Ben spews out black colouring.

Smoke Pellets to create a calm and surreal atmosphere

Pink Wig, Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange, Broken iMac G4 Sunflower desktop and brown Dyed white cloth. I really like this picture because I gathered all these props by myself from different places and I wish to make visions happen more often.

Dyed brown cloth for a prop.

List of Shot composition ideas

We treated the tripod as a skeleton, an entity that is always with us, we filmed Ben's hands when he was typing on a keyboard from a high angled perspective. Close-ups of Ben's face was filmed in a high-angle shot to convey vulnerability.

Originally, Tom and I had the idea of the character entering an empty white room and finding a black cube in the middle of the room. That idea didn't work out.

Description of the picture above:
Introverted iNtuiting involves synthesizing the seemingly paradoxical or contradictory, which takes understanding to a new level. Using this process, we can have moments when completely new, unimagined realizations come to us. A disengagement from interactions in the room occurs, followed by a sudden “Aha!” or “That’s it!” The sense of the future and the realizations that come from introverted iNtuiting have a sureness and an imperative quality that seem to demand action and help us stay focused on fulfilling our vision or dream of how things will be in the future. Using this process, we might rely on a focal device or symbolic action to predict, enlighten, or transform. We could find ourselves laying out how the future will unfold based on unseen trends and telling signs. This process can involve working out complex concepts or systems of thinking or conceiving of symbolic or novel ways to understand things that are universal. It can lead to creating transcendent experiences or solutions

Our final edit of 'Iguana' on Final Cut Pro X:

Tom and I decided to use the transparent overlaying tool combining the city shot of Ben with the forest shot, repeatedly with the transformed antagonist blending in with the forest scenes. This is done to show the disintegration of the character, his original and transformed-self disintegrates in nature in an inevitable fashion.
