Lav dine egne dogmeregler. Sæt grænser og lad grænserne tvinge dig til at være fantasifuld og kreativ indenfor en fast ramme. Dogmeregler er et fantastisk arbejdsredskab til at skabe fokus og innovation.
Her er det Lars von Trier, der forsøger at udfordre Jørgen Leth ved at opstille nogle dogmer i filmen “Fem Benspænd”. Et dette benspænd må intet klip være længere end 12 frames. Trier konstaterer da han ser det ærgerligt, “at det var desværre en foræring. Opgaven fra Lars Von Trier til Jørgen Leth er at lave 5 remakes hvor Trier opstiller nogle Dogmer/en regel/ en begrænsning som Jørgen så skal skabe et remake ud fra.
Von Trier er selv inspireret af Leth, “Det perfekte menneske”. Det er denne film er det oprindelig forlæg.
Lad dig inspirere af de oprindelige dogmeregler:

Dogme 95
“I swear to submit to the following set of rules drawn up and confirmed by DOGME 95:
1. Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).
2. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is being shot).
3. The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. (The film must not take place where the camera is standing; shooting must take place where the film takes place).
4. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
5. Optical work and filters are forbidden.
6. The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
7. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now.)
8. Genre movies are not acceptable.
9. The film format must be Academy 35 mm.
10. The director must not be credited.
Furthermore I swear as a director to refrain from personal taste! I am no longer an artist. I swear to refrain from creating a “work”, as I regard the instant as more important than the whole. My supreme goal is to force the truth out of my characters and settings. I swear to do so by all the means available and at the cost of any good taste and any aesthetic considerations.
Thus I make my VOW OF CHASTITY.”
