Trials and Tribulations is a film project that aims to captivate the audience with a knight's tale centred around an impossible mission. From the very beginning, my intention was to create a visually stunning experience by incorporating large-scale slow cinematic shots. The concept was simple yet powerful, as I wanted to explore the art of cinematography and utilise a deliberate slow tempo to enhance the atmosphere and drive the storytelling.
