Wes Anderson // From Above from kogonada on Vimeo.

I am a huge fan of Wes Anderson's POV shots he uses in films. I really want to adapt this style for the beginning of the film when the main protagonist prepares his equipment, I feel this shot would fit this scene the best aesthetically.

Youtube Film maker, Casey Neistat also uses the same type of shot in many of his videos, most notably in his short vlog 'Fat and Lazy', where he uses this shot and some drawings to explain his daily routine.

This video shows Casey Neistat's 'wildly functional studio'. At 04:50, Casey shows his homemade POV camera system, by using a plank of wood with a camera attached to it hanging from a pallet, and a clamp to adjust the camera's view from above, I could this simple filming technique when creating these shots.

Costume ideas

After some research for costumes for my short film, I found many modern pagan organisations from all over Europe. We will take inspiration from their costumes for our film creating our own.

This costumes mainly involves using animal fur and masks created from animal bones. 

I am thinking of using a cow skull to incorperate in to a mask. And different colours of fur mixed into one costume.

This costume inspires me to incorperate straw in to one of the costumes, to do this I will need to create separate sections for each limb and then join them together. I have an idea in my head of creating a straw kilt/skirt for one of my costumes, using thick brown rope as a belt.

The costumes has some sort of shells or stones tied through a string hanging from the clothing. I want to emulate this effect for a costume, to do this I will drill small holes through multiple sea shells, then put string through them tying a knot at the bottom of the strings, If i create around 30 1 meter strings, this could easily make do for a pagan style costume.
