As this 2 minute project can't have any synch dialogue we have been thinking about ways to best get the viewer to empathise with the protagonist and one very straight forward way is to shoot some of the film in point of view.
From a physical shooting perspective and aesthetically Peep Show has a lot that we can learn from and work towards. It seems to use mostly natural lighting which gives it a very 'real world' feel and much of it is shot as if it is the character's perspective. We plan to utilise this technique only to create empathy with the character but as a device for exposition i.e. when shooting point of view you can dictate very easily where and what the audience's eyes should be drawn to, you can also inter-cut this with shots of the character to show reaction. In Peep Show this is all tied together by the mixture of inner monologue and dialogue and hopefully we can achieve a similar thing through our phone call and music.
