So what does this Fauvism has to do with the 8sploitation filmmaking? The source for ideas and concepts to write a screenplay should come from life itself. Recommended are the paintings that lead to fauvism and the fauvist paintings, along with other art movement on the same par. Fauvism is the historic equivalent in paintings of the kind of cinema we try to activate with regular people as filmmakers.
 

The wild brush strokes are represented by the handheld operating of the super 8 cameras and deploying other inventive unconventional cinematography. The strident colours and abstraction are represented by casting non-actors and leaving the
dialogues out of the script. The colours represent the painters emotions of what he saw and
painted... and that can be bridged to cinema, by exposing and putting the emphasis on true
interrelations between people. Just like the fauvist painters applied their paint straight from the tubes onto the canvas, the actors/actresses must deliver the performance including dialogues unprepared on the spot. Only its own character as a support for a way to fill in the character that he or she is performing in the movie.

 

If a character is described very detailed and if the performer knows his or her character by all these details, the better the performance will be when shooting the involving scenes. Maximum 1:1 shooting ratio. If mistakes get shot, no problem, leave them that way. The philosophy
we advise to apply to your filmmaking includes these 'mistakes'. Life is not perfect and since we see
cinema as life at 24 frames per second (or in our case most of the times at 18 frames per second), your performers will reflect life , if they are prepared with their character very detailed. If done in the right way, the result should be very real, very
poetic and very explosive!
