Representation of Forsaken

    Hello Bloggers! Today, I am so happy to share with you guys the several different types of representations that we utilized in Forsaken! This will most definitely provide you guys with more insight on our characters and the whole atmosphere in our film opener and I can't wait for you guys to learn! Join us today as we talk about all there is of the representations throughout our film with Kendrick and the different themes that have made this film so perfect! 

    So as we dive into specifics, our film is mainly intended for teenagers, particularly ones who relate to the themes of friendship, self-discovery, and emotional experiences. This story first of all starts in the adventurous mall and this portrays the warmth of friendships. However,  we see the rapid switch in the whole mood as we begin to see the loneliness and isolation experienced by our protagonist. This creates so much appeal to viewers who enjoy a complete plot twist and also having a really easy-to-understand film. This film is not the light-hearted action comedy that you would think, and we don't see any exaggerated characters or silly humor. Instead, Forsaken looks at the complexities of human emotion. This would also be so much more connected to individuals who feel disconnected from society or feeling the agony of being left out of things.

 

    Forsaken is mainly telling the story of Kendrick, a teenager that we see is feeling lonely and wants to connect with others. His experiences show the emotional challenges that lots of people in this age group are facing in society, allowing this story to be realistic and more relatable towards our viewers. Instead of having the teenagers happy and rebellious in this film, we take a unique approach as we have a complex reality between both joy and feeling isolated. It focuses on characters more with depth and avoids stereotypes, providing an emotional journey that feels more authentic. 

    Another good aspect is that the visuals within our film match the story's tone so well! The scenes are bright and full of color, with lively outfits and fun interactions that create that feeling of belonging. As the story progresses throughout the opener, we see that complete shift in color and this just dramatically portrays the ending. We see the use of dim lighting and close-up shots that just emphasize the major challenges that Kendrick is facing. This takes Kendrick to such a difficult time that he reflects his inner emptiness and one thing that we are trying to show in Forsaken is that as a teenager and just a young person in general we should always achieve to be carefree and happy in life. It acknowledges the many heavy feelings of loneliness, showing the hardness that the search for friendships can entail. We believe that Kendrick's story is very well-organized and does not need any major changes. 

Thank you bloggers for joining us in the representation of Forsaken! Stay tuned for the next post... more details on our day 3 of filming to come! We will see you guys then!
