Trials and Tribulations is a film project that aims to captivate the audience with a knight's tale centred around an impossible mission. From the very beginning, my intention was to create a visually stunning experience by incorporating large-scale slow cinematic shots. The concept was simple yet powerful, as I wanted to explore the art of cinematography and utilise a deliberate slow tempo to enhance the atmosphere and drive the storytelling.

As a teenager growing up in East London, the constant decisions about how to behave and how these choices affect us is a major responsibility and has been communicated in the narrative. This piece explores this sense of right and wrong and specifically the theme of duality and the Jungian phycological idea that everyone has a shadow side - which are the things within them that they hide from others and sometimes from themselves. My short film will explore these differences in an effort to highlight the power of the conscience.
