Suggestions on experimenting?

[Charles DeRosa]

Hello all - a real honor to be writing my first post.

 

I'm a film student - shooting a 6min. 16mm film. My director is creating a cynical and fairy tale world based on the works of Edward Gorey. (fun stuff!)

 

I've got 300 ft of film to test with (it's all exterior so I'm leaning toward the 7231 over the 7222) and would love suggestions on various techniques to test - looking toward uping the contrast and playing with a stark feel (she talks about silhouettes alot). I've always thought mainly this experiementation would come in the form of filters...but what do I know.

 

300 ft is a fair amount to test with (at least in film school terms) so I'm open to a broad range of suggestions. It's fun looking at the varied possibilities.

 

thanks so much!
