Archetype (2023)
As part of the AICE Media Studies curriculum, I produced the first two minutes (opening scene) of a film. Archetype centers on a young college student and aspiring actor, Oliver Roland. He wants to play Macbeth in the school's upcoming production, but is told by the director that he seems more suited for a supporting role. Oliver is angered and becomes obsessed with the role of Macbeth. We watch as Oliver's actions and visions start mirroring those of Macbeth's, resulting in violence and heartbreak.
The Box (2022)
The theme behind this film is one of human conformity. I wanted to portray how difficult it often is to stand out and have thoughts outside of that box that most of us stay in–whether it be a comfort zone or simply societal norms. I made use of some ideas from Gustave Le Bon's The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, such as how we lose individuality in a large numbers. I tried to use color to differentiate between sameness and diversity. Sometimes the nature shots are quite vibrant, but crowds of people might be in black and white. I used the army footage as basically an extreme visual image of sameness. I also tried to use images of symmetry around school to further support this case. I paste stick figures into a lot of my footage to show that those drawings are supposed to represent us.
