Concept- Memory Fragments

The concept stems from this idea of life review, your life flashes before your eyes. Vignettes of memories, colours, people, shapes, and feelings which are used in snippets.

Memories will be shown through a cast of friends, family, places, moments, and scenery such as hometown. 

Every little piece will have a story.

Colour scheme

The colour will focus a positive, optimistic tones: bright lighting with cyan, yellow, orange, blue gels. This will be produced through cinema lights to create a constant energy but also retain a dark moody contrast. 

The main communication tool will be a structured collage system, tight crops of unknown, mysteriously framed imagery will head to the user conclude their own story.
