An experimental film combines several media to express a theme or concept about heroism that the filmmaker wants to explore.

Objectives:

Experimental film is a place to make your own rules and be VERY creative. Often experimental film is thought of as, but not limited to, visual poetry. It is a good place to experiment with shooting styles and to try new things like extreme close-ups, strange camera angles, focus blurs, and sound effects to create mood.
