Concept
In the film, the elites are showered with extravagance, while the poor have only roaches to feed on. Through "Food," the sequence highlights how the rich and poor perceive each other. Camera angles emphasize this contrast, with low angles for the elites and high angles for the poor, highlighting their respective dominance and vulnerability.

Key Insights

This project refined my ability to use camera angles to enhance storytelling, particularly when addressing societal issues. I learned how to strategically frame scenes to strengthen the narrative and convey the deeper emotions and complexities of the topic.

Storyboard

The fruits appear fresh with butterflies flying overhead, symbolizing how the poor view the rich. As the camera shifts and tilts downwards, the fruits are revealed to be rotten, reflecting the rich’s view of the poor. In the end, butterfly shadows suggest the poor will always remain beneath the rich.

Process

The fruit models were rendered in Cinema4D, which were color composited using Clipstudio Paint and Photoshop. This was intended to create an ornamental aesthetic that contains both realism and painterly style.
