The aesthetic choices will greatly influence the piece because being at night time will be meant to create an uneasy feeling for the viewer therefore allowing them to relate with the uneasiness of the character who is leaving her secure and familiar home to go out into the unknown. Our character will be a young woman who will be portraying this time of transition of wanting more than what has been built around her.
Woods are also metaphorical for the unknown and often are associated with the unexplored which causes anxiety.
Using the lantern is giving her an object of security something that she keeps with her and helps her see her way. It enables her to explore the unknown but does not control where she goes.
The lighting will provide more dramatic aesthetic added with her fleeing to convey a sense of urgency and secrecy.
I still feel unsure about the intent of this piece other than that it'll be visually compelling. I really like that you want to use the forest metaphorically. I believe this piece will be very beautiful. I'm still having trouble seeing the purpose of the story, but I'm definitely very interested in how it'll turn out visually.
ReplyDeleteI really like the aesthetic choices and I like that you want to film at night, but is it only because it is difficult? I know you all want a challenge! This sounds very beautiful though, and I'm excited to see how it'll turn out!
