A screen shot of my workspace of my rough cut. Still thinking if I should include sound or use music instead.

A few screenshots from parts of my short film.

Here are some pictures for me to think about how I want to frame my shot





And for this shot, it's a mere example of how I want my shot setting to look like. With only the light focusing on the hands and not showing my face.


Settings:

One light source
Dark room
No soun

My first idea was to make a video that shows very day hand movement but I thought that it won't be as strong as I want it to be and that people will not see the "story" behind it.

So, I came up with this idea from my brainstorming of telling a story using hand movements through disorders. I did some research on the hand movement of someone with depression, ADHD, anxiety and so on.

Anxiety
The most common hand symptom of anxiety is a restless shaking. This shaking has an obvious cause. When you suffer from anxiety, your body rushes with adrenaline.

Hand-washing compulsions: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
