Behind Emergence — ideas and choices
THE IDEA
Routine and identity.
The idea came from the tension between everyday routine and a sense of identity. At its centre is the feeling of losing touch with the creative part of yourself.
THE VISUAL CHOICES
Light, colour and framing.
Colour, composition and symbolic imagery were used to suggest an inner state. These choices give feeling a visual form, leaving room for the audience’s own interpretation.
THE INTENTION
Room for your own reading.
The aim was to invite viewers to reflect on their own routines and sense of identity. The symbolism leaves space for a personal reading of the film.
