Specialisation – WATA/AfroSurrealism

https://vimeo.com/489417053

This film really captivated me and I am going to score some of the opening scene for my specialisation project. I love the blur colours and the warm tones, for me this piece is a perfect display of Afro-Surrealist aesthetics. Afro surreallism is something which I delve into day to day with almost everything that I make. I believe that Afro-Diasporic is surreal by nature in a lot of ways as, as black people we have had forge our own spaces, our own ways of thinking and our own ways of making art, away from the societal norms of the western world. In my piece I want to further this rhetoric and create a surreal world in which these characters live in. Fashion film is something I’m a big fan of as it is a marriage between fashion, film and sound which are three of my favourite things! Also, the Melo zed score on this is absolute insanity.
