#5 on Eldon Booth's work

Eldon makes instrumental narrative films that have styles such as experimental drama, fiction screenplays. It serves a realism of his work, form is altered and it shows you are aware of his work, because they aren't illusions of reality... it is constant thread throughout his whole work. He started 'Finding Honk' in February 2007, he wrote a script and shot his film in November last year. Although right now his work of Finding Honk is in post-production. Eldon showed a teaser of the film, he started telling us the story of how he got in trouble with authorities but was clear to go ahead with his piece, quite loud but in perspective. Eldon goes on saying it was a documentary practice... he had content in realism TV and film. He produces images of reality, colour pigments, contemporary meanings that makes these images recognized. He tells us the power of film lies - what wars are going on? news reports from different kinds of the war. It is a way of manipulating realism, ways of two, the form of camera techniques and shots used and the subject of ways in form and what kind of audience is needed. The editing becomes almost invisible. The realism is attained and the form is invisible and you can't see anything. Eldon showed us a show by E.R that had George Clooney in and showed us what continuity editing was about. The actors repeat the same line of 'where are you?' / "hey" / "Out!" and  "broken heart" which tells the story of the show, about them been doctors, it means something to a sad story after the lighting strikes. The techniques used within these shots that the camera moves with the actors, just like a live sports event because no one wants to miss anything.
Lastly Eldon worked with his friend Jason and made a film called "Withdraw" [2007] = they both relied on the topic. Eldon used his brother and his father for the main characters here. In the two years, they aged more in that time they worked on. He changed the landscape in a two year period. His brother does a lot of the walking, where Eldon uses a hand-held camera which adjusts the lighting. The notion of reality in this camera shot made the focus so imperfect. Another piece of footage using these techniques that was used around these events were happening. A shooting, not to stage something too much, but he wanted to use long takes. He wanted the realism to attract different reactions from his audience watching. He films a part where his father was in hospital which he experienced that sad moment in his life.
