Colours - First Short Film!

If the embed thing doesn’t work

So before that, here’s the link to my first ever short film:

So the context of it:

Depression is more than just feeling upset and gloomy 

It’s actually a extended period of downtime when one can’t even feel and emote - there’s no joy, excitement, anger or even sadness, they essentially can’t feel anything 

And it is expressed through the lack of colours in the film, where the protagonist seeks to become normal by finding colours in her life 

But can she? How can colours dawn on her when she can’t even feel anything? 

The ending was changed at the shoot itself and it’s up to various interpretations - wonder what yours is? 

Many many thanks to Jovina for helping to act in this - and the few times she nearly died/got hit by a car in the process of filming cause director me was only focused on the camera lol 

And thankyou so much to my parents for helping out as and when I needed - and even agreed to appear hehe my dad’s face and mama’s limbs are featured inside hahah

Had to redo some scenes cause it wasn’t well carried out - and also because it feature my fave and I felt very cringey about it lol

Thankfully the diligent me decided that since I’m doing this, why settle for something I don’t even dare to show anyone? 

So I went back to lug that damn heavy equipment and I’m glad the eventual product turned out to be something I’m willing to showcase! 

But gentle reminder to myself to let emotional scenes take its time to build and dont cut it short unnecessarily :) 

That being said, I was very very impressed by the other videos my classmates produced that were showcased yesterday

They were a variety of genres and I especially liked the experimental film on lighting, the action running film on terminally ill guy being chased by police which had hkg movie vibe, as well as the pretty shots that made singapore and nus look so pretty - btw nostalgia hit me real hard when I saw utown and biz school’s mrb on screen heheh (miss the days there excluding fin/dsc/bsp modules lololol) 

But anyway, they were really films made w a lot of effort and hard work so kudos to all of them - mine pales so much in comparison but I’m still happy w how it turned out hahaha

(Kept LOLing at how mine was 299MB while the other file sizes were in GB)

(Keep waiting these days hahah 

Currently waiting for Muni to appear for lunch so i decided to update this space)
