I received feedback today on my idea. I have to aim to make it more personal. After some thought and time, I decided to edit my idea. Rather then focusing on this idea of the impact of single use coffee cups, I have changed to the connect an individual (in this instance, myself) to the feeling of loneliness.
I decided this could be captured by beginning your day drinking a cup of coffee. Most people drink coffee on their own. Ponder their mornings. I decided to explore the nature of loneliness through inanimate objects that come into an everyday life. The possibility of being surrounded by people, or surrounded by things that contribute to your everyday routine, but this lull feeling of loneliness every time. I have begun experimenting with my film a lot.
It has gone through a lot of changes which has been equally rewarding as it is draining. My creativeness has really been challenged as I try to capture this emotion in my documentary.
I feared that I wasn’t following the documentary style but was reminded that anything can be made into a documentary.
My idea of loneliness is dark places. A feeling you don’t want to feel. Through dark contrasted footage, I hope to capture this idea of being alone and the glum feeling behind it.
