Bele Noći is a short film inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel White Nights and tells the story of two queer characters and their struggles with love, set against the backdrop of the world of theatre. Through the use of costume and make-up, the film explores the power of transformation and the impact of theatricality on the storytelling and creation of different moods.
The film was recognized with awards for Best Short, Directorial Debut, and Best Cinematography at the Halo Festival.
Here below is the refined storyboard, realized mainly for Creative Direction purposes as a dialogue with Production Design and the Director of Photography.
The quality of the render or quantity of details present in the storyboard depend on the project’s needs.
In the project at hand the setting was quite static as it was referring to the limitations of a theatre stage, the points of interest were mainly the staging and the light design.
