Focusing My Scope

I want to elaborate on one thesis from my manifesto and constrain it to the the spectrum of what i want accomplished in my next film. All beings are trapped inside a world expanded by the vastness of their own knowledge and experience. Humans, however, possess the intelligent capacity to imagine our own events from our life experiences. This is what i refer to when i say we can do whatever we want within the bounds of our own perception. What happens to us in our lives molds us into the people we are, yet our own choices also affect what happens to us, thus we are partly responsible for the people we become.

My film is going to be a normal everyday account of how we can tap into our experiences to play out in our heads the consequences of our actions. A boy and his girlfriend hold a seemingly simple conversation. The viewer will get a chance to see the thought behind the dialogue by combining the scene with the style of conversations in role playing video games. Possible responses are laid out in multiple choice and played out, if an unwanted result is achieved another approach is attempted. Good actors are able to consider the subtext and what the character is thinking along with what the lines are. The subtext tells everything, as no one truly says exactly what they feel all the time. I intend to breakdown our thought processes and show why all our past memories directly affect how we react.
