Short Film 〈Like There’s no Tomorrow〉 The Notion of Creativity and Fabrication Explain

國立臺灣藝術大學 / 電影學系 / Author:SHEN, TSU-TING

The short film〈Like There’s no Tomorrow〉is derived from the author's personal emotional experiences, extending into an exploration of reflection and reconstruction of self-identity within different intimate relationships.

The story depicts two women who have both experienced emotional setbacks, meeting and accompanying each other on a road one night. Through their acquaintance and introspection, they form emotional bonds. The author attempts to focus on the nuanced emotional changes between women and how they impact the transformation of their self-perception, using the constraints of a short time frame and confined space.

This thesis documents the complete creative process of〈Like There’s no Tomorrow〉 reflecting on the author's experiences and repeatedly examining their thoughts on creation and emotional relationships. By reviewing literature and attempting to transcend subjective feelings, the text is placed within the context of modern society and social psychology as a foundation for the creation.

The thesis is divided into six chapters:

Chapter 1: Introduction — Explaining the creative motivation and background, reviewing the creative process, and its relevance to the present work.

Chapter 2: Theme exposition and literature review — Organizing the thematic context of the film and exploring relevant social psychology literature related to the text.

Chapter 3: Creative explanation — Elaborating on the character design and plot outline in the scriptwriting process.

Chapter 4: Style setting and expressive strategies — Describing the techniques and tone used in the short film.

Chapter 5: Film production and execution explanation — Providing detailed accounts of the decision-making process from pre-production planning to actual filming and post-production.

Chapter 6: Screening and conclusion — Describing the public screening and feedback, as well as summarizing and reflecting on the creative work.
