University of Aveiro, 2017
The alarm goes off, the sun comes through my bedroom window, it's time to wake up. My body automatically gets up, the usual routine begins, but today there is something different, my body feels empty. I ignore it. I wake up again, maybe the previous minutes were just a dream and now I have to hurry, I'm late and I haven't showered or dressed yet, hurry up! I open my eyes but the light is so intense! My body? WHERE'S MY BODY? But what happened?
"Where is my body?" is a short film that I made in the space of two days for a short university project that consisted of exploring the idea of the body. The idea arose from the reflection on a body without a soul and a soul without a body. What if I woke up and these two essential parts of my existence and identity were disconnected? What is an empty body?I started writing a script and designing a storyboard with all the ideas that came to my mind and quickly moved on to post-production such as choosing the locations where I was going to record, graphic design of some details and collecting recording material. After about two hours of recording and some obstacles came the editing, colour adjustments and video publishing.
