Concept of the year

  This year the theme and concept I will follow is looking inward. I chose to do looking inward because those are the tv shows and movies that I enjoy watching, even horror movies, which are the type of movies that I enjoy watching the most, like Saw, Candyman, and Malignant are all looking inward movies. Other example of looking inward in tv shows I watch are Elite, Sex Education, Greys Anatomy. But for this year I plan on multiple short films that were inspired by the tv show euphoria. Euphoria centers around high school kids and their struggles in and outside of school. The films I plan on making this year will follow one character and her life and the different struggles she will go through. For my first film I plan on having my character deal with the stress parents can put on the children with their high expectations and their strive towards perfection or when parents compare siblings to each other. The video will show how stress can affect children's mental health and how it can cause friction between parents and children. But for many teens this stress can cause them to go to unhealthy outlets to relieve their stress, which will be one of the things my character will struggle with. For my second film I plan on showing how an unhealthy outlet teens use to relieve stress can become an addiction that can affect teens' performance in school and affect their relationship with their parents. Some parents seem to ignore or try to help their teen through their problems which only further annoys the teen. The second film is also going to deal with how my character knows that their stress relief is unhealthy and that she could quit but she can’t so it becomes an internal fight inside her. I would also like to try and do abstract backgrounds for my second film. For my third film I plan on ending my concluding mini series by showing my character overcome her addiction and try to build a better relationship with her parents. But this film will also show how after you stop your addiction it can be very hard to stay clean of your addiction. I plan on having my character face the struggle of trying to restrain herself from going back to her addiction and also understanding that it is better that she let her addiction go. Most of my filming for the first film will be set inside a house and a little bit of school setting. For my second film most of it will be set in a classroom and a bedroom and then for my third film most of it will take place in a classroom and then outside in a park, although I’m not sure the park setting is finally. Also plan on having my character outfits reflect on her emotional state throughout the films.

 

This would be the type of abstract work I would like to try, where the background or makeup becomes digital. I would like to do this effect with in scenes where my character is relieving her stress because she would be in a euphoric state.

In my second and third film I am gonna to do the voice over narrations and try and do a time lapse like in this scene from Euphoria.
