"Archetypical"
Throughout history it has been proven that every human, despite religion, education, or any other aspect, could recognize certain figures, certain ideas, that we all subconciously have shared since the beginning of time. These archetypes are what remind us we are not as different from each other as we may think. My film is going to try express how every person can recognize these figures, and how that connects us as humans. I am hoping to use shots of many different people in conjunction with universal images everyone can experience such as the sky, as well as using found footage to present famous examples of the major archetypes such as the shadow, the hero, and the wise old man. For these I will probably use characters such as Voldemort, Superman, and Mr. Miyagi respectively, making it clear how common these ideas are among us. Throughout my film I will use quotes from Carl Jung (the man who created to concept of archetypes) and his research, both spoken and as intertitles, to make the actual definition clear, and a nice addition to my extended version which will hopefully add that universal connection that cannot always be felt when simply reading about them.
