Cinematic ideas
Extremely shallow focus to show how the  character is isolated and alone, and although another version of himself is also out there, he doesn't know this, so the closer they get together, the less shallow the focus becomes.
Many establishing shots from above, using a drone, this will highlight to the viewer that the main character has changed environment.
Shoot the whole film on a Steadicam rather than handheld, this is just a lot more aesthetically pleasing and seamless.
I would like to make the entire film seem like its all one take, especially the scenes where he goes into the tent.
Editing
Cinematic colour grading similar to inception will be applied. Seamless cuts inside the tent will also be applied, gradual transitions from night to day. For the final scene i will have to clone the main character, as they are going to come face to face for the first time, this needs to be the best part of the whole film, so it needs to look perfect and seamless. They will both meet where character A started, to show off the strange but circular structure of the film.
Sound
The music for the film is still undecided, but it needs to be something which isn't repetitive, and keeps building up, I think something without lyrics would be best, as this may distract the viewer.
Gear required
steadicam
Sony a6300
85mm lens for close ups and shallow focus shots
24mm for wider angle shots/ establishing shots
50mm for medium close up shots with shallow depth of field.
Drone- aerial establishing shots.

Shoot 3 shots and editing drone shot This drone shot was extremely hard to perform as i had to fly it backwards under a fallen tree which although wasn't very high, the shape of it as well as the hanging branches made it difficult to fly through and get the shot.  Colour grading- i had to colour grade this shot slightly different compared to the other shots, because the drone isn't as good in low light compared to a camera. I had to de-noise the image using the median tool, and i had to increase the shadows much more than i usually would. Shot of keys + meaning explained The meaning of the keys and why they are shown so obviously is because the object acts as a Macguffin, the character always checks to have the keys, and if he doesn't then he knows something is wrong. I added a humming sound effect when he picks up the keys to highlight the importance of the object, picking up the keys in turn broke the paradox, which is why he sees himself get in the tent...

Mood board The tent will be the main focus of the film, the character will step inside, and it will take him to a different place, the two characters will eventually be teleported to the same place where they meet. The opening scene will take place on the top of a multi story car park, the main character parks on top and notices the tent, after surveying the area he notices no one is around so he goes inside the tent to have a look. This is where he realising what the tent does. I would like my film to follow a similar structure to Memento, the way the same character's story is told both from the start and the end, although i dont want his story to be the same in my film, i think i will use the same structure. the main character A will write all his discoveries into a journal, this will not match with the voiceover at the start, but eventually they will cross over. One of the locations will be a woodland, as i think this could look extremely cinematic, and cou...
