Create a cinematic sizzle reel for a short film titled “ARCHIVE.”
The film is set in a near future where people can archive, review, and delete their own memories.
This technology is treated as ordinary and widely accepted.
The story follows a lonely young man who decides to revisit his archived memories,
believing that erasing painful moments will help him move forward.
As he watches fragments of his past, the process becomes increasingly personal and difficult.
The visuals should show him alone in quiet interior spaces,
watching, hesitating, and confronting moments he once tried to avoid.
Memories should appear as subtle fragments — reflections, light shifts, still gestures —
never as explicit flashbacks.
As the reel progresses, the mood should shift from calm control
to quiet uncertainty,
suggesting that deleting memories may also erase parts of his identity.
Do not include dialogue, voiceover, or futuristic interfaces.
Keep the camera slow or static, with restrained emotion and realistic lighting.
At the end of the video,
fade to black and display the film title:
ARCHIVE
The title should appear alone, centered, and understated,
as if it is the final unresolved thought left with the audience.
