Concept & Content

Concept Our main concept of the our short film follows a character

who is trying to break a harsh reality through his dreams

Content Gain a lot of dark atmospheric shots Desolate/rundown locations Eerie feel Make it feel isolated

We also need to light, bright, cheerful and beautiful shots for the dream sequence

Approach

Our main approach to the film was not necessarily to find a dark location in which we could use as the harsh reality, but to find a slightly abandoned building to shoot around as we could later add the desired feel of the shots while we were editing.

Evaluation

With more time we could have better developed our narrative and planned our shots

More and better access to locations with different shots

Mix a better atmospheric sound track

Had better footage with better camera and stabilizer tripod

Also realized once we were editing that our shadows were in some of the shots, so next time be wary of the sun and our position

Added futuristic visual effects
