"Sign Language"

The single effect: An optimistic feeling. The idea that you can find happiness no matter what your circumstances may be.

Details that help create the effect:
     1. Music (soft, sweet, acoustic)
     2. Camera work (unsteady, close, intimate, personal)
     3. Setting (bustling city on a rainy day)

If you were to make the music more upbeat and poppy, the short film would lose the aspect of optimism and would become a bit too excited and inappropriately fun.
