>> Hello everyone,
>> I am doing research and pre-production work on a film project on
>> Mafia in South Italy, 16mm, no actors. This was the reason of my
>> recent post about tinting B&W footage as this could be an option
>> for some scenes.
>> One of the forms the work could take is that of a “daisy chain” of
>> sorts: follow one person in the street then move on following
>> another person, and so on. The links between people could be sites
>> or objects. For instance, person A is followed until he enters a
>> bar. We then follow person B as soon as he exits the same bar.
>> Objects could be transitional objects like the famous post-it-sized
>> pizzini mafiosi use to communicate, even if we do not see them.
>> Suggestion might be enough. In B&W and with shrewd editing, I
>> suppose one can generate the suggestion, even if for a split-
>> second, that the same person is being followed. I have done this in
>> photography and now want to experimet with film.
>> I was wondering what pedigree this idea has. I know of no film that
>> systematically exploits this device, or uses it as an editing
>> strategy, apart from Linklater's “Slacker” movie, in which one or
>> more characters are followed until they meet a third one, upon
>> which the action shifts to this third person until he or she meets
>> a fourth one, and so forth...
>> Thank you for any feedback!
>> Best,
>> Marco
