This was actually a test film for school application! :)

CONCEPTUAL ART FILM
A story about a girl going back to her past and each and every character place a certain role in her life and a representation that she was going through her mind.. before coming to the ending of what it is to become.
I ask Walter in One word summaries
he said
I believe the word "penumbra" maybe a good choice.

1. It is an unusual word and not common in titling works of art.
2. Has a deeper meaning when used as an art form.
3. Relates to your work, since your work is describing "shadows of the past".

As one adventures the path of life, we make choices that direct us into other conclusions that may cause atomic reactions to prior duties and reflections. Penumbra is the defining word that describes the shadowing points casts by celestial bodies onto others. Pain to one person over the haunting shadow of rejection and then attempting to redeem thyself, splatters images of regret and resolution in the metaphor of healing. Yet, the memory can never be erased but used as fuel to move forward in hopes that prior mistakes are never made again (Whatley, 2009).

To understand :
This film is based on a memorie where the different characters shows the time I had with that person and how later it went into a whole new dramatic event , notice the change of behavior of the white girl which is me into the next transition as that of another part of me, where it slowly shows and soon it went back to the past as it's black and white... foreseeing it where the hetrosexual couple shows the intensity of the 2 couple linking of the hands and taking notice that this time they are being handcuffed..
James and Kat's part is representing the suffocating of the whole dramatic relationship and soon one of them has to die... and the death of kyer was the representation of gossip where the gossip was the cause of all dramatic scene . Notice the blood on her mouth.. the representation of the fact that one killed her.. because of her unforeseen gossips and therefore.. the last part where I killed myself is stating the face that I had to just kill my old self... as there's seriously nothing left to even ponder on the past about.
The morale of the story is move on.
just for me i guess... if not the whole entire process will be all over again and again.....

GET IT!?

First : Lust, then puppy love, gossiping, dreaming, lustful and having an affair in the pubs or clubs or anywhere, then showing of the past and later showing the quarrel and intensity and thus.. killing oneself (Killin' one's Past!) To be a changed person!
Fighting One's own Demon and to be changed into a new person! (less info)
