Production Notes

I feel like the object of gaze when I’m walking around on campus which is weird because in reality that is probably when I’m least observed. I know everyone is just going about their day, but I feel like at any moment someone could be looking at me.

Production notes

Goal: Convey the self-consciousness induced by walking through a crowded area.

Girl enters (18-22) a crowded MU. She walks across the MU weaving throw fully occupied lunch tables. She mostly keeps her head forward, but occasionally looks down at the floor or at the squad.

She takes out a cell phone and writes and sends a text as she walks, so everyone knows she has friends. She knows people are looking at her.

The camera is on the other side of the quad, far away from the action it is capturing. It is like the camera is a person looking at the girl which is what she fears.

The girl trips and simultaneously drops her phone, a group of people laugh. She picks it up and starts walking again, but this time bigger and quicker steps. She finally makes it to the door and goes inside.
