The Shadow

I first wanted to keep the shadow in the film to create a tension element at the beginning. I think it is a powerful symbol of danger and that it also helps to situate the viewer. 

​

However, in the context of this film, I did not have the time to develop this character and it might not be very clear to everyone. For this reason, I decided to remove it from my story.

Flashbacks

It took me a while to decide what would be the flashbacks. These are very crucial for the understanding of my film. I did not want them to be too raw, too violent, or too explicit. I also wanted a progression through them, so we can slowly guess what is really happening. I chose to show them in the colour red to create a link with the the danger and the pain they represent.

Rope & Tape

I was looking for a strong image to symbolize the feeling of control and choking that this event can have on the character. I decided to illustrate this with a rope and a tape. I like it because the girl has to change her mind to be able to get rid of it physically. It worked perfectly for my film.

Directions

I was noticed that my character often change her direction. Honestly, I composed it that way because this is how I saw it in my mind. It could have been a little too much for a 2 minutes film, but I think it represents very well the feeling of being lost and disoriented.
