Final Project
For my final, I chose the story making project. The premise of my story is that the pandemic has already essentially set in to society. I remained vague about the specifics of the disease as I thought it would be more important to deeply explore a single idea rather than spread myself across too many details. This also helped me reveal the idea of the disease slowly and deliberately, rather than cramming in a news segment for exposition. In its most basic form the disease takes away your ability to perceive depth, which we can assume to be a spinning sensation or panoramic vision. The one clearly defined rule about the disease is that you can see regularly through a mirror, since it is a flat reflection. There was a lot I wanted to communicate through visuals and through characters so I chose to write a screenplay. It is a short screenplay, so, in an attempt to be metaphorical and subtle there may be some ideas that are underdeveloped, at least in how they are conveyed to the audience.
