Experimental Film Pitch: Sense

Sense

The Idea:

The film is centred around auras the 5 senses; sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. Each of the senses will be connected to a different aura that will surround the body. We will be following two main characters and how their interactions with each other and others have an effect on their auric fields and how sometimes auras can sometimes be shared. Auras can make up who we are at our core, the truths that lie within us, what we feel and our deepest desires. As we change every single day through different experiences, our auric fields change too. In this case I wanted to delve into how the 5 senses could possibly have an effect on them. Interaction affects the auras of all people involved.
