Filmmaking
A woodland fiction
Alex made the film for Introduction to Audio Visual Media at the Lebanese American University in fall 2016. Its figures share a wooded setting, with overlapping images making their encounters feel unsettled.

About the work
In a world where everything is accepted, a woman begins to reject the snake that extends from her arm. She kills it in an attempt to conform, breaking the world’s unspoken agreement to accept difference.
Two edits of one film: a colour version and a letterboxed version.

Editing
Two ways through the same scene
The colour edit retains wider compositions and layers figures over one another. The letterboxed edit uses closer framing and changes the rhythm and order of later images. Both remain versions of the same work.
