When I met up with the teacher earlier last week, she suggested that if I want to create a story that focuses on showing the audience rather than telling them I should look into using symbolic images and motifs. I've watched a couple of video essays in the past that have dealt with the importance of details and how something as simple as a chair can hold so much meaning, which I'll link below, and I think I can definitely take what I've learned from these and apply them to my short film. Because I'm working with black and white, I also want to play a lot with lighting and the meaning it could have if used right. One of the genres I am vaguely influenced by is film noir, which typically uses dramatic lighting schemes.
