Film/Video Junior Alan Ledford created this short narrative for CFV 125: Media Production 1. The course was a prerequisite for his entry into the major, where he now pursues an individual study plan.
Alan explains the project:
"My intent in creating this piece was to explore a common emotion everyone has felt but by putting a creative twist while following the guideline for the project. This story is about a boy who finds a crush in a coffee shop. He goes into a daydream of emotions he feels.. He experiences his heart racing, being tongue tied, judgmental of himself, his breath being taken away, and the weight of the overbearing father. I hope the audience just finds a new perspective on an common occurrence.
The idea for this project came from past experiences I felt when I had a new crush on a girl and having to overcome those emotions to further meet that person.
I filmed this project with mini-DV videotape on my Sony FX7. It was edited using Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro."
