Left in The Dark
The project is about someone’s personal experience where something quite intense happened to them. The individual would reflect later on via an interview.
About
This was my first attempt in making a documentary about someone’s story. I had to thoroughly think which questions to ask the interviewee and carefully choose which ones to leave out. I wanted to represent and reflect how Sam felt during his dramatic event but also during the interview. With music and shots, I successfully managed to add an extra dramatic touch to it that would reflect his feelings at that time.
