Further Film Research

In follow up to my research into The Locked Room Experiment and how it could apply to my experimental film. I decided to investigate more into the ideas of artistic isolation, which take more prevalence in the current lockdown environment. I thought perhaps this idea of artistic isolation I could implement into the main focus of the film frustration.

Although shot in 1966, Hold Me While I'm Naked predominantly uses the camera as a handheld self-portrait that acted as a video diary. This made me think of modern technology and how most people can't go without filming their daily lives. The film also shows the Kuchar's lack of satisfaction as he makes his own character self punishing as we are met with an image of him banging his head against a shower wall out of frustration.

I liked the use of the handheld shots to show how frustrated and self-critical Kuchar is in the film which I think could apply to my ideas.
