Draft Ideas



Dream sequence ---> Real scene

Dream sequence shows imagery that is revealed in the real sequence to be reference to the previous bodies in this case. Maybe use quick flashbacks to the dream sequence - sort of like snapshot memories - to reiterate this connection and reinforce the idea that the protagonist is having nightmares about the case that are mixed in with something else that may or may not be relevant because enigma.

Dream
  • Meta-plane or warped reality
  • Link to main arc or personal arc

  • Extreme lighting
  • Forest setting
Real
  • Finding body - is it the first or a serial killer?
  • Reflections of dream sequence in dialogue

These are the results. Initial Tests For my very first tests, I went small. I used small lights, for example the torch on my iPhone and my desk light, from around my bedroom and took close-up pictures of the remote control for my stereo. To the right is one of my macro setups. Blue cellophane is covering my desk light, yellow cellophane is covering my iPhone torch, and red cellophane is covering a wind-up torch I found in a drawer. The resulting image is below. Other examples using different colours of cellophane include: I also tried photographing a few other things around my room using different lighting setups and moving away from macro-photography. ...
