Kurzdarstellung
Kurzbeschreibung
Zwei Leute sitzen beieinander, sie geben Worte von sich, sprechen jedoch nicht wirklich miteinander. Sie haben jeweils eine unterschiedliche Perspektive ihrer Situation, nehmen jedoch die Chance nicht wahr, dies zu ändern.
Dieser interaktive Kurzfilm befasst sich mit acht unterschiedlichen Perspektiven der gleichen Situation. Durch das Umkreisen der beiden Personen erhält der Benutzer immer mehr und variierende Informationen über sie.

Inhalt
Inhaltliche Beschreibung
She wants to leave but wants him to say: stay. He wants her to stay but doesn't know why.
The many layers our reasoning have. The way we try to squeeze the content of our thoughts and feelings out into reality is not always constant. We see and understand things from varying perspectives. Two people sit across from each other and attempt to free themselves of their words by meandering around what they have to say. Their conversations tip toe around subtext.
This is an interactive video in which the audience can move through 8 camera perspectives that form a circle around two people. All perspectives run parallel, are governed by the same emotional subtext, and yet are scripted differently.
As the viewer moves from one perspective to another, the relationship changes in order to fall into two levels of experience. In half the perspectives one person in the couple has lost the keys to the apartment; there are no copies. They are unable to distance themselves emotionally from the situation; they are unable to communicate. In the other half, they hardly know each other. They pretend they are a couple in order to discuss what is going on with more distance and objectivity.
Their conversations are fragmented. Questions are left hanging; time passes in silence. The viewer's interaction adds to the fragmented nature of this piece. While moving through all 8 perspectives, sub-currents accompany the viewer through his/her own abstracted and individualized cut. How it works: by moving the mouse to the side of the screen the viewer will hear the sound from the corresponding perspective fade into the sound from the perspective seen. By clicking on the side of the screen the viewer will see the perspective previewed audibly. Some parts are non-interactive, during these the viewer will not be able to change perspectives.
