JOAKIM ALEKSANDER JOSEFSEN
EDITOR, CINEMATOGRAPHER, DIRECTOR AND WRITER
Run Time: 4:29
Role: Director/Co-writer and Editor
A man speculates about if he should stay in a long-running relationship or if it's time to leave.
​
In this film, my role was D.O.P. I wanted to capture the distance in which their relationship had grown into. When this other person then comes into the film, I wanted to capture the closeness between the other two characters to create a comparison. We also experimented with colour. Specifically, the colour red, since red often represents anger, frustration and most importantly, love.
Sult(Hunger)
Bare deg og meg(Just you and me)
Run Time: 6:09
Role: Cinematographer
Just you and me is a short thriller film, which follows an individual who has been forced to conduct a kidnapping and execution of a person.
In this film, my role was writer and director. For this short film, I wanted to explore what it must be like for a person to kill someone. The fear and tension that builds in a protagonist is something I wanted to explore, and what he ultimately does with these emotions. The production time was quite short so we had to be efficient and therefore time was not on our side. Also, due to unforeseen circumstances with the pandemic, I took over as editor for the film. Edited the film using Premiere pro, with touches done in after effects and audition.
The Bouncing ball
Run Time: 2:33
Role: Cinematographer and assistant editor
A man who is bored at an office job suddenly discovers a bouncing ball that bounces through the window.
My role for this film was D.O.P and assisted editor. For this film, we wanted to make it as absurd as possible. So it was therefore important that I cooperated well with the director. Also, the director wanted the room to feel huge, so I experimented with using wide lenses to create a larger field of view. This made the room 10x bigger than it was.
Å være tage(Being Tage)
Run Time: 15:14
Role: Cinematographer
This was my last exam film for the Kristiania University College. My role in this film was D.O.P. In this film, we took inspiration from a TV show called Wilfred. It's about a person who sees a dog that looks like a real person, but only the main character can see him like that. We wanted to mimic this concept and to try to replicate the style and look of the TV series.
After a devastating end to a relationship, Tage spends most of his time with an imaginary character. Everything changes when Jenny comes nocking at the door.
Run Time: 28:53
Role: Actor and Assistant Camera Operator
Tidstyven fra 1821
In this film, my role was actor and occasional camera operator. This was a web-series that a friend of mine had started before I came on board. I was then asked to be apart of this project as an actor, where I also helped with camera on several occasions.
Rikard Nielsen once again teams up with David Fuglesang, to capture a somewhat evil professor, which seems to be a time traveler.
Patient 013
Run Time: 10:01
Role: Editor, Sound and Assistant Camera
In patient 013 we follow Ted and Lucy on their journey to escape from a mental hospital.
This is my Bachelor exam film. My role in this film was editor and sound operator. In the edit we wanted to achieve a sort of rhythm where some elements were rushed, and some were slowed down. To focus on these characters and their relationship during the film. This was a heavy process and we spent months, just to perfect the edit down to the last detail. In the end, it was well received and went on a short festival run.
