My video, "Daydreaming of Warmer Days," will follow someone walking on a cold, cloudy day, then suddenly getting lost within a daydream. They will look up into the sky, and instead of clouds, they will see a bright sun over head. The video will follow them as they continue to daydream, picturing themselves running through an open field with flowers suddenly springing up all around them. Then they will stop, realize they have crushed the beautiful flower that was in their hand, and suddenly be transported back to reality, where things are cold and gray.
This video will use the juxtaposition of dark clouds and bright sun to exemplify the difference between pessimism and optimism, sadness and happiness.
One major symbol I will use throughout the video is flowers. Before the animation starts, the protagonist tries looking for flowers, but there's nothing underneath the snow. When they are transplanted into the animation, there are flowers growing all around them. The flower is meant to be another symbol of happiness and optimism, which is beautiful, but easy to crush.
