Highs and Lows

This short film was another one produced by a classmate of mine during college, which was a scene study to reveal the complex relationship between a mother and son. This piece had the goal of delving into the way the mother viewed herself, the way the son viewed himself, and the disconnect these two had by not recognizing the other’s struggles, strengths, and individualities until they come to this realization at the end. I chose to harp on these dramatic and deeply personal experiences by creating a dark and almost depressed tone with specific lighting and color after effects.
