This is LiFE | Film (2018)

Directed by: Hsuan-Wei Wu | Photographed by: Hsuan-Wei Wu

"This is LiFE" is a short experimental film about the life of a human being, well at least for myself. In this short film, I used the window as a background and a light source, which backlights the subject giving a silhouette look. As life goes on, a person needs food and water as the essential energy source to live, and after that, the scene lits up 1 to 2 stops. The second obstacles in life will be sickness and suffering, and when the subject take drugs, the scene becomes darker. Later, we see the subject starts to play guitar, which represents the entertainment and social status in life. These elements in life may give a person joy, success, or satisfaction, but they are all temporary. The final goal in life is to have faith and seek the presence of God.
