Project THEM : Dystopian short film

Sammanfattning: This study researches the relationship between institutional racism and systemic supervision, highlighting the concept of the Other and how it is created as result of social racism. The project’s goal is to produce a dystopian live-action short film. To expose the danger of misusing technological advances to achieve propaganda set to ensure control over the public. And to closely look into the mentalities and perspectives of the public considering institutional racism.   This project represents the powerful impact of society's issues on the future by filming in the dystopian genre. The project goes through all aspects of scene making and filmmaking as a visual communication technique.   The research shows how deeply the established media is connected to social racism and Othering. As governments, institutions, and corporations are constantly in need to create targets for the viewer/public to fear, making the world seem like it is Us vs Them. Ending with a loop of hate and injustice that keeps spiralling downwards.
