Camille Marotte

When discussing our second poem, we began imagining calmer, more tranquil scenes than our first film has, perhaps taking the form of a montage, which lead us find this director:

These videos are incredibly well done and beautiful, not necessarily focusing on a specific subject, but creating a calm, flowing atmosphere, with soft lighting and fitting music. The music especially is lovely, and is something we will need to give thought to in our film, making sure it compliments these shots. 
What is really stunning in these shots is the use of light, which not only enhances the softness but also gives a slightly magical, warm effect. Whether or not we could achieve these shots (as the current weather and month may be a hindrance) is to be questioned, but would definitely add to the effect we want in our second film. 
The cutting and shots are slow and calm, with slow movement and long amounts of time between each change of subject adding to the soft atmosphere.
