DepicT Research 2: Parasomnia

Parasomnia is an animation about what it feels like to suffer with sleep paralysis. I found this particularly interesting and really thought that contrast of no dialogue and black and white to screaming and multicolour after the tension builds to be really effective and captures the feeling of sleep paralysis perfectly. Another part that I think creates an effective, on edge atmosphere is the beginning, where she is sleeping and the camera doesn't appear to be steady and she is looked down on in a birds eye view, suggesting that she is in fact being watched. Another highlight was after the tension built, as well as the animation of her springing into colour, it zooms into her face to give the effect of the panic falling around her and intensifying. Overall, I thought this was a really capturing and well put together piece.
