Entering the preliminary preparations, I first referred to the story that my FMP was going to tell and rewrote the script. This time, the script of Project 2 mainly tells the story of a woman seeking self-salvation in pain, facing the pressure of life and herself, and being overwhelmed. This is also the problem I have faced for a long time. I often compare the present with the past, and then I am full of fantasies about the future. This is a problem that has always troubled me, and it is difficult not to use external factors to improve myself.
I will divide the entire short film into three time points, that is, three acts. The first act is in a room where the protagonist sits on the sofa by himself, experiencing a painful self-struggle. During this period, I will use alternating editing techniques in the room and the protagonist’s fantasy scenes to show the audience. Then in the second act, I will use the material I shot in reality, which represents the protagonist’s past. In the third act, it is still in the protagonist’s room, but the light is much brighter, and the protagonist stands up and leaves.
Although it is a good idea to bring one’s own experience and emotions into the work you create, it also has disadvantages, such as it is difficult to make the audience empathize, which is a double-edged sword.
This is my moodboard. I used the same moodboard from my FMP, because the tone of the two short films is very similar.
