Abstract

"Weaving the Scattered: Exploring Bricolage and Poetic Expression in iPhone Filmmaking" is a journey into the realm of innovative filmmaking. This study delves into the creative potential of iPhone filming, employing techniques that break away from traditional linear storytelling. Central to the exploration is the method of bricolage, weaving together fragmented visuals to construct a unique narrative tapestry. This approach is characterized by the integration of chance aesthetics, where imperfections and spontaneity play a pivotal role in shaping the storytelling process. The result is a poetic and emotionally resonant portrayal of real-life experiences, expanding the horizons of traditional documentary filmmaking. This thesis serves as a testament to the transformative power of adaptable and accessible platforms in the world of visual storytelling.
