Idea 01:
The featured image of this post was a project i did on my own during the holidays where I attempted system art through photos.
So, for idea 1, it’ll be a simple narrative encompassing a subtle meaning.
The story revolves around one main character, the guy in the mask.
At the start of the film, he explores the world without his mask on and realizes that no one notices him, everyone ignore’s his presence. He tries to attract attention by wearing extravagant and loud clothes but that doesn’t work either.
He then puts on the mask and immediately notices people turning heads to notice him on the streets. He then slowly notices that regardless of what he wears, the mask makes people notice him. so gradually he wears more and more simple clothes.
This idea isn’t complete but its a play on how people tend to put on a mask that isn’t really themselves to attract attention. Or also stereotypes that people try to conform to by fitting into a mask that society tells you to conform to.
I haven’t decided on the ending of the film, but it might end with him removing his mask, opening his eyes and realizes that everyone else is wearing a mask too.
Idea 02:
This story is also a narrative. For this story it would revolve around the main character that gets infected by a virus that only he can see. Some geometric or alien-like pattern that spreads across his arm.
He goes to doctors specialists and surgeons but no one believes him, and they try to fix him by fixing his mental state rather than the actual virus.
This film would play on the fact on how sometimes depression or mental illnesses cannot be seen by people on the outside, and only the victim can truly feel and understand whats going on. so that’s why only he can see the virus spreading through his body as a pattern on his skin.
Idea 03:
The third idea I had was just a wild thought that i came up with.
Again it revolves around a main character. He wakes up one day and he realizes that he has lost his voice and no one can hear him anymore.
He freaks out. But then he meets a girl that can hear him, but the twist is that this girl is mute and even though she can hear him, she cant speak.
The film then explores the relationship of these two individuals, how they work around this communication breakdown and how they get closer as they spend more time together.
