Q

Self Discovery #1 - Double Entendre

A

The first aspect is Aubrey’s hometown, Lawrence Heights, otherwise referred to as “the jungle” throughout the short film, providing the viewer with an understanding of the havoc which takes place within the town for it to be given the name. This is paired with the jungle-like characteristics of the current state of mind which Aubrey is in, as a result of the concoction of a whirlwind of public success partnered with private, emotional turmoil. These two aspects are used as the foundation of the short film, as Aubrey compares and contrasts his life in Lawrence Heights with his current, deranged lifestyle as a musician.

Q

Spiritual Discovery #1 - Use Of Colour + Light

A

The continual shift in colour and lighting as the short film progresses presents a parallel with the current mental state of Aubrey. In the earlier scenes of the movie, the dark colour palette presents the viewers with the negative mental state of Aubrey. This is shifted as the film progresses, as with each scene, brighter colours slowly become more evident, with their only restriction being the level of saturation. The ongoing restoration of colour and lighting represents the recognition of the truth in Aubrey’s life, and his acceptance of the reality he must live with.
