Narrative and visual/audio influences for your work

I would like the audience to understand what is going on without having to use too much narration and/or dialogue for them to know what’s happening, I’ll use some but also use things like colours, what they can actually see and lots of sound editing to get across meaning. I want to use lots of sound editing (mainly non-diegetic) as well as coloured lighting if I can. I’m hoping I can make the sounds with objects around the home and stay away from music as much as possible. Influences are the films/short films that I researched about such as the short films I found on YouTube. ( Coursework Research ) I want my film to be an opening sequence that sets up the film as not just about someone living with ocd but how it effects relationships and other people such as family. I want the character to be doing something extraordinarily normal when ocd is effecting them to try and keep it as real as possible and to show that they’re still a regular person.

Production’s genre, style and intended audience

I’m not sure what the genre is, but the intended audience is teenagers and older. I want to use as little dialogue and narration to explain what is going on as possible but using some is inevitable. If I am able to, I want to use colour to help get across meaning as well as lots of non-diegetic sound, but I am unaware of what I am capable of doing. I think I am going to use the title of the movie to help it make sense, by putting ‘ocd’ in the title, it doesn’t have to be explicitly said and it will help explain what’s happening.  I’d like to not have too many cuts and instead have takes that last a bit longer as that is what I really enjoy in films, some cuts and close ups will be necessary but when I can I will try and make longer takes.
