sETTING
The setting of the film is set at 1 location. The skating rink, here the full journey of the main character will take place in this short film. Circumstances to take into account are: cold, bluish cold glow, dark off-ice and light / white on-ice.
sYMBOLS
Necklace
The main character of the film wears a necklace to connect with her lost skating buddy. That is why the chain must be connected to the story. I chose to hang a charm with a skate on it so that it refers back to skating.

​
​
Ice
In the opening scene the ghost appears when the chain is touched, but it stops at the edge of the ice. The main character is off-ice and the ghost is on the ice. This refers to the boundary between the two characters and how their relationship lies in separation.

Ghost
The spirit in this story is a supporting factor of the main character. She is a kind of angel who was the main supporter of the main character even before her death (story element). To indicate the contrast as well as possible, she (me, haha) is dressed in white - which can be related to an angel, spirit and pure presence of the supernatural. In contrast to the black, as can be seen in the video on the phone and the moment that she is no longer in the main character's head but a reminder as a supporter is on the side.
​
​
Mean Girl
The antagonist or the devil on the shoulder of the main character is represented in a red and black outfit. These colors contribute to how the viewer receives the character. Red stands for collision, danger and anger. Black gives incitement to the mean character of the mean girl and contrasts with the mind.
