I will need people's opinion and their point of view. I will mostly work with Ana and Amin they will be my co-cinematographers in the scenes where I will have to be the actor.

What equipment will you need? How will you obtain this?

I will need a camera in some shots in other shots I will use my phone and some additional lightning when natural lighting isn't strong enough. Props like an old blocky computer (if possible).A lot of costume changes to show the person is going through an identity crisis.

Mostly editing and SFX

The scenes are in school on the 12th and 13th of December.

What music or sound will you use in the film?

Gasoline by Halsey(the short film is inspired by the lyrics of the song. )

And a song that will match the mood from a music library(background music since is a silent film)

CHANGE OF PLANS ( COVID-19)

While shooting some scenes and because of the Coronavirus pandemic , I had to make some changes.Netherless my aim of creating a non linear, circular experimental short film has not changed.
