I am going to make a fictional short film. The film will only encompass segments of the fictional character's life. The focus of film will be to express the emotional adventure that the protagonist goes through while simulteaneously living out two separate lives. From my perspective a person's life is not one whole experience - or atleast that is not how a life is remembered. To me life story is percieved through a recollection of prior distinctive events - I would say it is like the mind is a chamber that just host intervals of time, not necessarily in chronological order, but in order of relevance. With that being said I am going to make the short a combination of smaller shorts.
Outside of portraying the life of a fictional character, my intention advance to bringing attention to real-life human conflicts. There will be two types of conflicts that the shorts will focus on. The two types of conflict are: man vs. self and man vs. society. The conflict that arises from man vs. society is the fact that the protagonist feels like he is the only one in the world in his social and psychological situation. He was born with a burden and has to take the backroad in order to be equal to everyone else. The man vs. self conflict comes from him having to live two different lives, one publicly and one secretively. The purpose of this portrayal is to express a reality that some people experience - while giving attention to the fact that the conflict of interest is a human problem as opposed to it being a problem solely based upon race, age or gender, etc.
Love the levels you are bringing to this! Watch momento and I think itwas heat? Momento to see how time can be beautifully sliced up and rearanged. Now heat (I think I am right with the title) Late 90s drug cartel movie. The important part is the film actually color codes its scenes. The protagonist is actually working for both the cartels and the cops. The scenes with the cops have a ever so subtil blue tint while the cartel scenes are mor yellow. Now this works due to the setting being down by the border so the cartel scenes work as a more yellow dessert mexico scene and the cop scenes are police buildings more blue. No many movies approach this kind of color shift, some juxtaposing black and white footage with color. Whatever path you take you need us to understand the two lives in parallel but also be able to decipher which is which.
