Synopsis: In “Diner Conversations,” the audience finds itself trapped in the uncomfortable role of a perpetual third wheel, forced to witness the turbulent on-and-off relationship of their friends Jane and John. As Jane and John navigate yet another rough patch, the audience is forced to deal with the discomfort and unease that comes with being caught in the middle of their dynamic.
Content & Creation: All the visuals shot for this project were filmed on my iPhone 12 Pro, with the assistance of a tripod to capture more difficult shots. For the voiceover, I provided the voice for “Jane,” while my partner voiced “John,” and a mutual friend voiced “The Audience/Narrator.” Apart from the voiceover audio, all other audio was sourced from ccMixter. The majority of the video was edited using Vixer and polished using Microsoft ClipChamp. Filters and special effects were obtained from Vixer and Microsoft ClipChamp, respectively. The audio was intentionally sped up on Microsoft Clipchamp to enhance the overall discomfort felt by the audience, including the distorted audio of the original background music, which was edited using TwistedWave.
