First totem problems
At the beginning of the film we tried to establish this futuristic African village. were every thing become high tech but still preserve the nature and the animals life. through a train that flies in the city it passes by vast farms and the markets till it stops in the station.
The main objective here that we need to show from the first time we see the family that they are arguing and fighting all the time. no one is heard. they have diferent aspects and this is clearly Sheba's problem who appears after them.
When Sheba's arrived to the totem. cermony , she though that it tis they will hear her thoughts and begin to accept her as an adult. but that didn't happen. I tried to make the family block the view from sheba. even they don't give her a space in the frame to talk or to appear. that was an objective to give that feeling of not giving her the space.
Even when she reached the ancestors world. her great ancestors them selves didn't hear her and were trying to influence her, and even force her to take their totem. and didnt' give her the freedom to pick her self. that's why Sheba tried to do it in her own way..
Sheba's here were supposed to deal with the totem machine by her own. but we tried to make things getting crazy around and she lost control because she stil need her ancestors to di this part of the mission.
