Young Sam and Suzy fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness from the adults around them. Lighting played a major role in this project to show the turning point. We used a warm yellow tone for inside the tent, where Sam and Suzy feel the most comfort and true love. In contrast, we used a cool tone of blue and purple for the final scene, where it is revealed that the tent is placed in the room that represents the cold reality.
