Today I have filmed Sindy looking in the mirror at herself, her body image, showing how looks are important to her. I am looking back from the mirror. First I set the scene. My bedroom has blank walls and a white shelf at the back of my bed so I used this as it is neutral to build onto. I placed a large picture of Hitchcock's 'The Birds' (1963) at the back for a reference of the decade the film is set in. A Vespa calendar is on the wall and some shelves with various books. There is also a pic of marilyn monroe and a phallic shaped cactus plant! I placed a small pic frame over the lens, which is not on the photo, to look as though I am looking in a mirror when I look in the camera. I wore an original 1960's mod dress, a blonde wig and lots of make-up with huge false eyelashes. I did several takes of me looking in the viewer and camera, putting on lipstick and just generally checking hair and dress, etc. I was going to have Sindy approaching the mirror and then a backshot of her with me looking back at her but decided to film her looking into the camera, and I will blur the image to fade into my face. The last scene to do is the end where she gets back into her bed. I can then focus on the editing and sound.
I love trying new things, i don't understand people who are happy with what they've got...i want more and i want it now...please! I'll never be amazingly brilliant at anything because i can't commit myself to something for too long. There's too much i want to know and learn about so i take bits from different areas and hopefully, one day, i will do something spectacular with my vast (but limited) knowledge. I fall out with most of my friends at some point, maybe its because i'm outspoken or just intolerant of other people and their stupidity, after all, we are all fools!! I act on impulse then regret it later, but when it comes to making permanent or long term decisions, i freeze. I get on my own nerves when i make the same mistakes over and over but no-one makes me laugh like i do so i'll forgive myself. We are all trapped and ruled by stupid men in suits and external factors unknown to us, so what can we do but play along until we escape to death....
