IB Film Rationale:
The film will portray the things as is as the beauty rendered in Lord Byron’s She Walks in Beauty. Images of humans in perfect balance with their environment will, through associational form, covertly evoke a mood of harmony and beauty in things the way they are. There are no one targeted audience, but given the philosophical theme an audience of teenagers and above is intended. The audience should be impacted with a feeling of beauty in balance between people and environment, which will be combined through frontal projection onto the faces and bodies of models. (95 words)
