Self portrait Revised

Originally, I had two separate ideas that I didn’t think I could put together, but after thinking about it they can go perfectly together. Now, my idea is to start with the feeling of anxiety and claustrophobia. I want this section to be in black and white and I’m going to film myself in small spaces reacting to the lack of air. I want the soundscape to be heavy breathing and sound bites from a monologue layered on top of each other. I have other shots planned out but I am mostly excited for a specific shot where I am going to be “drowning” in the bathtub, and then I’m going to come up for air and “break free.”  I want to do a match on action where I come up from the bathtub and then I end up at the beach coming up from the ocean. The video will then turn from black and white to color, and I’ll begin to focus on what makes me the happiest, my boyfriend and my dog. I want the first shot of this half of the film to be a POV looking at my boyfriend and dog out of focus, and then I want it to come into focus.  I want to use some candid footage I have of them as well as other planned out shots. I’m not 100% sure about the sound but I think I want this section to be completely quiet to show that the chaos stops when I’m with them.
