Here is his proposal, linked here. He says that he has taken inspiration from films such as Eraserhead, which I can see has heavily influenced his idea and I would love to also try and recreate some of the shot types. As we have no sound, the acting and script will be everything. Conveying the plot through effects and both visual and in post.
I personally think that black and white in editing would be quite a nice touch with maybe some splashes of colour but I will speak to my team members about it. I think that the set of Eraserhead is something that will also be quite a large inspiration on the feel of our set.
The barren empty spaces with only one or two things in the frame means that your eyes are drawn instinctively to what is in the space, which is something that many filmmakers employ to make sure that the audiences eye is directed at a specific part of the frame so that they do not miss part of the story. Also however, the fact that the space is empty yet filled with a black sort of effect means that the frame and set feels bigger to the audience that what it probably is. This is advantageous as it means that the audience garners the idea that the world exists beyond the walls of the set and lends more realism to the scene.
I will be looking into more inspirations in depth as the time comes closer to build our set. I like to have a lot of visual references from films I have seen or the internet so I know what I am working towards, thankfully there are plenty of inspirations out there that will help me when it comes to building the set and the placement of objects and the build of the room.
