Blog Prompt: Post a paragraph summary description of your story/moment that you will turn into a series of shots and then compile into a video sequence. Write another paragraph that describes the visual style and what you imagine the soundtrack to include: voices, sound effects, music.
I want to work on creating the two distinct styles I have going in my world. The vibrant, shiny, technological world of the AI overlords and their wealthy keepers is one. Below them are the coders, kept in dingy dens with warm orange lighting and computers. I don’t know if there’s a specific moment I want to capture, but I certainly want to showcase these disparate ways of life. I believe I’ll want to show them off in an ‘every other’ sequence to showcase their differences.
I’ve injected my gpt with a small stylistic guide. Included in that is the directorial style of the Safdie Brothers (directors of Good Time and Uncut Gems). I believe their elements of colorful lighting and character close ups will help tell my story. The soundtracks will definitely include music. I think the music should be a bit sparse and atmospheric. Neither of these places have a lot of energy going on. The sound effects for the coders will probably be more old-world technology focused, whirring and typing and the like. The sfx for the keepers will be more futuristic sounding, with things like soft dings and whooshes.
