EXPOSE PART 3

What is the filming concept of the movie?

A girl ponders about her feelings for a BOY. As she talks, you realise her emotional journey begins to correlate with the space that she is in. Her emotional journey to liberation is followed by the viewer in a single shot through the tunnel, where the shot pans from GIRL to GUY in the space.

As an architect, I am interested about how space can be manipulated to create effects. The idea of the technique of filming came about from discussions with Ren, also fellow architect, who helped conceptualise the movie very early on in February. The camera becomes a single perspective where the parameters of its operations were determined- namely a single panning shot with (as much as possible with the technology that we have!) constant speed in one direction. So throughout, it is as if the actors dance around the camera, acting even behind it. The camera is static only at the beginning of the film and the end of the film.

Throughout, GIRL and GUY talk, but almost to themselves, insulated in their own world respectively, and you can see that in the language and screenplay; only at the end do they appear on screen at the same time.
