LO2: How meaning is created in the visuals

The narrative of this project is as follows, a bored office worker decides to take a time travel pill, it briefly takes him to a reality where he gets murdered, and then he is taken away from that reality back to his own, where he realises he has travelled back in time. What he doesn't realise that he has now made a glitch in all his different realities, meaning that when he gets murdered in one reality, he suddenly all his other realities vanish too.

This is a fairly complicated narrative therefore it is important that the footage I captured clearly communicates the narrative. I am going analyse some of the shots I took when filming this project.

This shot tells the audience from the begginging of the narrative, that the office worker is bored of the dull life he leads, which is proven further when the office worker recklessly takes a pill which messes with his existential well being. 

This shot makes more sense once the narrative has finished, yet at the beggening of the narrative, the audience takes it as a nothing, just simply a fault of the computer, however at the end of the narrative, the audience realises that the glitch actually represents a glitch in time, and although the computer may be slightly damaged from the time travel intereference, the real damage has taken place in the office workers reality.

This shot shows that the office worker is beggining to develop strange obsessions with the normalist of things like a flame. The flame slows down in this scene, suggesting to the audience that there has been a shift in time. 

This is the shot that shows when the office worker makes his fateful decision to take the pill, the salesman's character is actually positioned slightly higher than the office worker, suggestion to the audience that he is fully in control of the situation, and aware of the chaos he is about to cause the office worker. The symbolism of the candle being on the office workers side could also be a foreshadow of the turmoil which is about to coming, which could be considered hellish, since the candle could be linked to hell fire like imagery.
