My idea

My idea for the media shoot was a story that was based on a true story. My mother is a Medium I would say, she notices things that others may never see and weird things happen to her as well. When she was a really young adult a very close relative of her was in hospital and she came to visit her. It was a snowy day and the whole area was completely empty. When she left the hospital, there was that old man, who looked very fragile and was just wearing a black suit in the cold winter time, he seemed to appear out of nowhere and asked my mother if she could help him to cross the street. She helped him by linking arms with him. When they reached the end of the street and thanked her and said something like “Now you can continue your way” and they both turned around. But my mother was not sure if the old man maybe needs some more help, so she turned around to ask him if there is anything else she could do, but when she turned around he had disappeared and there were no footsteps of him in the snow. Soon after this encounter, she got a call from the hospital saying that her close relative has died. Later on she said she was sure that she met the death himself, but she was not sure if everything that happens to us has to be realistic. She can remember him and I trust her when she tells me stories like that because I know her. She is not like most of us, she can see what many of us cannot see or notice.

     

I wanted to take this encounter as an inspiration for my shoot because I thought that the mystery of this concurrence scarier is than zombies or other commotional society’s fears.  Things like the snow and the hospital are no necessary things you could replace them easily with for example a normal house on the country side where everything would look even more spooky, because when an old man appears out of really nowhere it adds a mystical effect to the story and instead of the snow you could just have a huge landscape which you can find everywhere around here.

In spite of everything they did not choose my idea, because they thought it was too complicated and they did not quite understood the plot, so we picked Vlad’s one which is about a girl who wakes up one morning with the thought that her alarm clock woke her up, but the truth is that it was the fire alarm, so she runs down and looks where the reason for that comes from.
