Our constraints included Silent – Shoot Through a Mirror – Cut to the Music – Stairs – Scroll.
Our overall theme will be exploring various moments in an average person’s life that is silent. We are going to interpret silent in literal silence and also social silence whether it be in real life or the digital world. We will shoot these different moments and compile them together on a web interface that the viewer will scroll through the different scenes. Some of the moments we have thought of include an awkward elevator silence where the people ignore one another in real life but are having very “loud” conversations over their text messages. Some of these moments will have more of a narrative arc than others. We might also include a scene of someone brushing their teeth in silence to portray the silent monotony of their daily routine. Similarly, we might include a stationary scene of someone walking up a stairwell. One of the more developed scenes will picture an angry person walking up the stairs of a traffic bridge. The person will look annoyed at all of the noise. The picture will show loud blaring traffic. The person will take out their cell phone and turn the silent switch. Then, all the background noise will be silent.
