Technical Elements

     For my film, I want the Mise-en-scene to play a big part in the focus. The lighting and the set will resemble the way that the protagonist is feeling. For the opening scene, I want the lighting to be very dull and almost feel like it is lacking an element of life. Relating back to how the protagonist has lost himself and became the drugs he is now dependent on. 

    Throughout the film, whenever the protagonist is high and under the influence, I want to play around with some editing techniques. For example, I want to use fast cuts and experience with different opacities. Making sure to blend and overlap different shots together to make it seem like the actor is disoriented and not fully in touch with his surroundings. 

    Additionally, I would like my film to have the vibe of the show Euphoria. I want my film to be cinematically beautiful, while still keeping and resembling the essence of what it feels like to be going through a mental illness and a strong addiction. My goal is to make the audience feel what the protagonist is feeling. I would want to build a disoriented atmosphere, playing happy music while something tragic happens and just making everything seem out of place, kind of what the main character would be feeling throughout the film.
