Plan B

In Syntactic Labyrinths, as everyone finished work, these masterminds are still grinding at it in the office. With the world coming to an end there is no time for defeat. After a failed Plan A, it was time for to learn from their losses and get back to the drawing board. Plan B doesn’t focus on preserving current generations. On the contrary, it accepts the loss of our species in its physical form. Plan B focuses on uploading all of our collective knowledge into a centralised server. They called this machine, the Library. It is built as a spaceship that will travel unmanned towards the Andromeda Galaxy. Elaborate plans have been made to ensure its contents stay protected but can be accessed by any species that finds it. Will they understand the meaning of its contents? Will they even understand how to access it?

Scene 01, Shot 16 is a calmer one in the sequence. Cinematically speaking I’m a huge fan of rhythm breaks. These secondary beats give a larger sense of time, as well as broadening the scope of the world. Cutting from a fast paced sequence to 2 calmer shots with little to no consequence allows for the important moments to breathe. Having no consequence to the story is important in my opinion. Otherwise they would be unnecessary information. In this case, these shots are used as palette cleansers, giving you time to reflect on previous shots.
