Dream

he film shows the contrast between a person's dream world and the real world after she has fallen asleep. In her dream world, the initial friendly touch of the people around her gradually changes into a hostile tug, and her mood changes. In the real world, however, everything is calm except the character. Eventually the character, unable to bear the disturbance from others in her dream, wakes up suddenly and looks around and finds that no one is actually there. Besides one main actor, the film has four other actors to tie the story line together.

In addition to the actor's performance to show how her mood changes in the dream, the lighting is changed to enhance this part of the shooting, from a green colour at the beginning to orange and then to red, to indicate the character's change from a pleasant mood at the beginning to displeasure and then to anger at the end. Music is used to enhance the atmosphere in the dream sequence, retaining the real-world sounds and emphasising the contrast between the real world and the dream world by switching between frames and sounds. The final real world shots are presented by adjusting the focus and moving the camera backwards to show the whole scene and enhance the visual impact.
