The project allowed me to explore: - Visual Storytelling: Establishing atmosphere, suspense and a distinctive fictional world. - Creative Direction: Developing a cohesive visual identity for an original story. - AI-Assisted Production: Translating narrative ideas into cinematic sequences using generative video tools. - Editing & Pacing: Building tension through shot selection, transitions and audiovisual rhythm.
