Our Final Cut Video
Our Final Cut Video reflects the twisted and obscure mind state of a person who has become isolated from society because of psychological disease. Its inspiration derived from the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood', where the wolf is chasing the girl in the red hood, and the disaster horror film, '28 Days Later', from which we also gained our font. The use of just one character represents the issue of loneliness and isolation, and demonstrates how not conforming to the social norm can lead to being a social outcast.
Focusing on the colour red, our video explores the complex and juxtaposing moods and feelings of having a multiple personality disorder; this intriguing colour has been used widely among other film makers, with films such as 'Don't Look Now' and '28 Days Later' relating to the colour in their plot and DVD design.
The key theme of loneliness and isolation were also inspired by such films as 'A Single Man', starring Colin Firth, which towards the beginning of the film, featured an excellent sequence with the protagonist viewing the outside wide through his own slanted, and quite detached perception of it.

The use of colour, including the colours red and white were also excellently incorporated in one of the opening scenes of this film, as the protagonist, George walks up to his dead partner, lying quite in the cold snow, after losing control of his car.
