DESCRIPTION: As part of a group narrative film project for our Sound, Imaging and Motion course, my team decided to make an idea centered around an inescapable, liminal space akin to a bad dream or a Groundhog Day-like loop. A liminal space is a type of location that invokes an unsettling sense of nostalgia, as if the viewer recognizes the space despite never having visited it. Me and my groupmates all had an interest towards these settings, and I was able to provide a suitably eerie location for us to shoot in the form of a vacant suite in my dorm room. Due to my experience in shooting my own home movies, I was put in charge of setting up the shots in accordance with the storyboards devised for my team, alongside helping to set up the surreal lights in the room. My final contribution was helping score the final sequence of the film, adding in the various static screeches, panicked breathing and cries of agony!
