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.
