Video Faslane Peace Camp

(DRAFT) The finished film has no people in it and long shots of organising lists and the camp infrastructure rather than the issues and characters surrounding the campaigns. This might seem strange at first but its important to realise that films don’t show the world as it is rather they all have a peurpures, a point of view, the point of view here is recruitment of new creative and competent people to use and live on the site.

The space empty of peopule is open for peopule to come in and fill it with life and creativerty. The song by seizetheday “thank you” is both a thanking the people who built the camp and thoughes who will come (the films audience) to keep the site open and perpusfull.

The use of long video lists of “rubish rules” and “todo list” is to highlight that that this is not just a place to party its a place of work and creativity/responsabilerty. The library and free shop is about showing that this is a sustainable alternative culture, not just a transentery protest. The language used throughout is conversational and inviting “pop in for a cup of tea, the is lots to do”. The shot of the Anarchy caravan followed by the green garden is about that both fluffy and spiky activists are welcome.

The whole film is shot in bright sunshine, full of greenery and flowers to give a sense of buty/attractiveness – obversely in the middle of winter poring with rain the would be another view… The final shot of the nuculer base is a small part of the video – as its about protest camp cultures, rather than the issues involved in the campaign. Anybody who argues, and some will, about this is missing the point. With out a healthy camp the campaign in weekerend, this the film has a 2 step purpose, rejuvenation of the camp to then renew the campaign.

You really don’t need a big camera to make a good film. The film was shot entirely on a Samsung note II mobile phone in 720p resolution. I shoot at this reduced resolution to help with rapid file upload as with full HD it is almost imposable to upload the huge files reliably.
