After my tutorial with Phil about the flow of my animation, it has been suggested to consider discontinuity as an editing technique.
I have researched into discontinuity and found it relevant to what I want my animation to communicate.
Discontinuity is an editing technique pioneered by Soviet filmmakers of the 1920's, including Sergei Eisenstein. The style of editing is done through a series of jump cuts, unrelated cut shots and dislocations or exaggeration of time/space. These functions lead to a more complex yet engaging experience.
I have also looked at the French new wave, a movement during the late 1950's/60's. It is considered as one of the most influential movement in cinema.
It was characterized by a large use of close-ups, freeze-frame shots, fragmentation, discontinuous and long takes techniques.
This will help me put my animatic together (which I am working on) and communicate this disorienting, magical and dream-like experience.
