Description: This is another found footage film and my final project for my experimental class. I wanted to make something meaningful and after listening to Kendrick Lamar’s Alright. From there, I decided to incorporate my own culture and experiences from being in Hawai’i and the current status of African-Americans and people of color.

Description: The inspiration behind this film is based on a song I was listening to while editing. The project’s premise was to incorporate found footage from a public domain footage archive website, and we were to mix and match the clips into a film. The way I selected the footage to use for my film were titles and a few seconds into the film itself. Once I was interested, I cut around the movie and used clips to create. In all honesty, found footage films in experimental filmmaking interest me the most, and I’d love to do more films like this.

Description: When making this film, I remember not having a real grasp of experimental filmmaking. We went over the topic in class and watched a few examples, but I never grasped the concept. So when it came to filming our experimental films, I was lost, and I decided I’ll shoot anything I saw as I went on a walk. My favorite part of the film is the rack focus I did from my dorm window of the view of the city and the highway.
