Engagement through immersion, mood and conveying deeply thematic topics alongside visual and auditory stimulation. The Promised Land is a short, atypical narrative filmed entirely in a smartphone format that focuses on questioning the purpose of the fragile human condition, reflecting the contrast in terror and beauty that nature creates for vulnerable creatures of the Earth.

The strong influence of dreamy imagery and music is sourced primarily from the 1920s artistic movement of Surrealism, pivoting around imagery of the unconscious mind and distant realities. The manipulation of natural trees and greenery is presented by the cooler tones throughout the narrative, contrasted with warm, amber variants of similar visuals. These conflicting colours, balanced by pale, white tones throughout, signifies the thematic juxtaposition between mundanity and vitality within the experience during specific sequences.

Sleep has her house (Scott Barley 2017) and N8 Dreams (keirux 2011) present vivid, yet natural cinematography captured with a smartphone lens, inspiring the surreal emotions that are told within this new experience. These feelings, however, are not yet fully engaged until the utilisation of intimacy through portability is applied.

Innovation within The Promised Land is created through a consistent, first-person perspective that breaks the layer between viewer and character. The silent, almost-soulless void of a protagonist conveys the serene, yet ominous world for the viewers to perceive through the shaky and moving camera shots.

The binding of intimacy through the unique first-person view for audiences ties the the dreamlike imagery and music that form these deliberate, yet open-ended thematic ideas of this confronting experience of humanity.

Can peace exist without chaos, or is this idea only a dream?
