The creative was inspired by the (likely mythical) bet between Ernest Hemmingway and his fellow writers, resulting in the saddest sentence ever written: ‘For sale, baby shoes, never worn. The short focuses on the story of a young girl who has gone missing and makes the viewer think about all the unrealised achievements and milestones that a missing child will never experience. This provides a small insight into some emotions and thoughts felt by families and friends of missing children.
This piece makes the viewer think about all the unrealised achievements and milestones that a missing child will never experience. With this short, the music had to lift the story of the young girl's dreams and aspirations to become a dancer. There is a certain innocence in her acting, that I wanted to mirror in the performance and progression of the child-like piano. The pirouetting scene I felt married well with the sound of a music box. The music box comes back over the ‘missing’ sign at the end of the piece, however this time the sound is distant, cold and has no supporting harmony.
