Visual Poem

Mostly, the hardest part when a loved one passed away is to deal with reminders of that person coming up in everything that surrounds you.  And sometimes, those reminders can be places or simple, minimal things that for others are imperceptible. So, my idea for the visual poem is conveying those moments of everyday grief right after the loss of a loved one. I want to do that by shooting someone walking through several places in the city while he stops every time, he sees something that reminds him of that person that is no longer with him. Also, to make those little elements more attractive and perceptible, I want to use color blue, since it is usually associated with bad times.

In terms of structure, I plan to highlight not only the person’s facial expressions but also, the blue elements. So, in some sequences, I’d like to change the focus between the person and the background or the blue element he is looking at. And in others, I just want to combine close-ups to the legs of the person while walking, and then, wide shots to the entire place. In terms of the audio, I’ll combine natural sounds but also, I want a kind of mystic sound or sad melody for most of the video.
