If you were making a film, which of the two following film synopses would you choose and why?

“White Whisperer”
This sequence would also be a montage with titles overlaid onto the images. The shots would show flashbacks of a person’s recent life showing his/hers behaviour shot in black and white. Some images will show the protagonist’s isolation, with them standing still as people rush past at varying speeds. The sequence will close with a shot of a girl underneath a tree, and will cut to a close-up of her smile, with the title stylised over the top.

“ShadowS”
The sequence takes the form of a montage of images reflecting the title, ShadowS, along with a collection of short clips showing unnerving and jarring things. For example, a person dressed in black juddering towards the camera, and short, sharp clips of people running in the dark, creating a suspenseful and enticing image. This would be followed up by the title fading into focus, the words handwritten and fuzzy against a contrasting background.
