Production 02: Contextual Approach

Scene where the boat was heading to Souland.

• Shooting the water splashing from the side of the ferry.
• Show the ferry was moving in high speed.
• The fast-moving yet not-arriving-to-the-island ferry somehow reflects the emotion of Jose.
• She was eager and curious to know everything about the mystery of her family, but was hesitating to know them all as she was afraid of the truth.

Scene where Jose was on the ferry to Souland.

• The scene shifted from the back to the face of Jose.
• The facial emotion of Jose is the main focus.
• She was not excited to the island at all, instead, she had a lot of things in mind.
• Her confusion of her sister, mystery of her father, and the Soulers.
• The strong wind blowing in her direction helps to bring out her emotion well. I mean, without the wind, she would just be standing there staring in the space.
• With the existence of the wind, somehow brings motion into the scene.

Scene where Jose arriving the resort on Souland.

• Shoot the steps Jose took to approach the resort reception center.
• To show her heavy footsteps.
• Although she was on a vacation, she did not really enjoy the whole trip.
• She was on that island to reveal everything about her family.
• On the other hand, it was also another way to show her messy thoughts of all these mysteries involving her family.

Scene where Jose checking in the resort, meeting a native Souler.

• One of the islanders on Souland.
• Put lighting on the hand of the receptionist, to show the Souler symbol clearer.
• Although the islander was friendly to Jose, she did not really act friendly at him because of her messy thoughts of Soulers.
• She laughed dryly at the receptionist.

Scene where Jose was entering her room in the resort.

• Silhouette formed from the daylight outside the room.
• Shooting the silhouette instead of using the lighting to show mysterious feeling on that island.
• We tried different lighting on this scene, whether to put on a soft light in the room or not, ended up without using the soft light in the room.
• Jose wearing casual outfit to show she was on a vacation.
