What is my short film Lucid about?
Lucid is a 5 minute short film.
The film features a girl named Sarah as she settles down into a 'not so' restful sleep.
The film was shot entirely on location in Liverpool and North Wales.
Below is the working shooting script I used for filming as well as an academic essay on Hitchcock!
Enjoy!
My inspiration
My inspiration stems from Alfred Hitchcock. I have always been a fan of suspensful films. It felt obvious to me to choose inspiration from a director renowned as the 'master of suspense'. I drew from his directing style by incorporating various shots and angles, including mirror shots, POV and a dolly zoom from a variety of his films.
