ORPHEUS (2011)

A film created for a second year University project with a brief to create an experimental film inspired by a poem or piece of art. Inspired by Gute Nacht. Orpheus |ˈôrfēəs|Greek Mythology a poet who went to the underworld after the death of his wife and secured her release from the dead, but lost her because he failed to obey the condition that he must not look back at her until they had reached the world of the living. Shot on 16mm film on a budget of £300.

This short experimental film is a fine example of something experimental. I believe that this helps me a lot to come up with ideas to do with my own experimental piece, the reason for this is because it uses a lot of effective and simple techniques to create something very effective.
