I have two ideas right now, but I am not sure which one to follow because I don't know how to make either story truly immersive.
Logline One: A human finds out how they ended up on Earth by learning the origins of the Universe. The viewer would start by viewing blackness and then an explosion of light and noise, the story would then transition between all the stages of the Universe, ending with another explosion of bright light and noise, representing the birth of the human. One possible way to deliver this message is projecting abstracted video/images onto a cardboard silhouette of a human. The idea of this one is to tell a complicated, analytical story in an abstract way. In the end the viewer would learn how insane it is, statistically, that they are alive in that very moment, by putting the size of the Universe into perspective.
Logline Two: An outside viewer learns the everyday routine of 4 strangers living in the same city and how, although none of them know each other, they are all connected. I want to tell this story in a non-linear style, by jumping from stranger to stranger. There are many ways to tell this story in a visual way. Ideally, I would take a different colored twine and leave a trail behind each stranger, showing how intertwined they are (pun intended). However, this could be dangerous, so maybe I use a duct tape trail or I make a scaled down model, or maybe an AR string to follow.
