POSTER

 

 

 

     The Routine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Logline

A young man repeats the exact same routine every day until monotony slowly erases his energy, emotions, and sense of purpose.

Summary

Routine is a 3-minute experimental short film that follows a man’s repetitive daily schedule — waking up, brushing teeth, drinking coffee, working, smoking, gaming, shopping, eating, and sleeping. Each action is shown in quick, looping shots that gradually become emotionally heavier. As the day repeats visually through editing, the routine becomes suffocating. By the end, the character moves mechanically, drained and numb. The film explores the psychological weight of repeating the same actions every day.

 

Synopsis

 

The film begins with an alarm ringing, followed by a sequence of everyday tasks: brushing teeth, making coffee, eating cereal, working, smoking, joining an online meeting, shopping, gaming, eating dinner, and sleeping.

As the film progresses, these actions repeat with slight variations:
• Camera angles become tighter
• Colour becomes duller
• Sounds become louder or more distorted
• The character’s face grows more tired

By the end, the character performs each action mechanically, showing intense mental exhaustion. The film ends in silence as he falls asleep — only for the alarm to ring again, suggesting the next day will be identical.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Director's Note:

Routine was born from a simple but powerful thought: repetition kills creativity, emotion, and the sense of living.
We all fall into cycles , waking up, brushing teeth, drinking coffee, working, eating, sleeping ,and with time, the routine feels like a cage. In my film, I use repetition, looping shots, and subtle changes to show how the character slowly loses energy, expression, and motivation.

The film is not just about a day ,it is about the weight of many identical days stacked on top of each other.

Through sound design, repeated visuals, and minimal dialogue, this short film shows how depression often comes quietly, not with a scream but with a pattern.

 

 

Inspiration

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Groundhog Day (1993)

Why it fits my film:

This is the most iconic film about being trapped in repetitive daily loops. The character wakes up every day to the exact same routine, losing motivation and energy with each cycle.

How it influences your film:

• Shows how small changes in behavior highlight emotional decline similar to how your protagonist slowly loses affection for his routine each loop.
• Teaches you how to make repetition cinematically interesting while showing the character’s mental shift.
• Influences your structure of 4 loops and how each loop becomes more emotionally heavy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. The Truman Show (1998)

Why it fits my film:

Truman’s life is predictable and repetitive, designed to keep him passive and controlled.

How it influences your film:

• Uses routine as a prison, similar to your theme.
• Shows gradual “interference” moments when Truman begins to resist the cycle—similar to your fourth loop where your character finally breaks routine.
• Inspires your visual style: monotony through repeating camera angles and normal life actions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Her Morning Elegance (Oren Lavie, 2009 – Stop Motion Short)

Why it fits my film:

A short film built around repeated gestures of daily routine, using visual rhythm and poetic imagery.

How it influences your film:

• Shows how simple actions like sitting, brushing, walking can be filmed in creative, repetitive ways.
• Helps you craft a visual rhythm for your loops (e.g., repeated shot compositions).

 

 

 

 

4. Requiem for a Dream (2000)

Why it fits my film:

Uses repetitive micro-montages (“hip-hop montage style”) to show addictive routine and emotional decline.

How it influences your film:

• You can use similar quick-cut repeat shots for brushing teeth, pouring coffee, turning off alarm.
• Shows how repetition becomes stressful and depressing through editing and sound.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. The End of the Fing World* (Series, 2017)**

Why it fits my film:

Even though it’s not about daily loops, it uses minimalistic routines and inner numbness to show emotional detachment.

How it influences your film:

• Inspires the gradual loss of affection your character feels.
• Helps you capture a tone of subtle, quiet sadness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. All Too Well: The Short Film (2021)

Why it fits my film:

Uses repetition, emotional breakdowns, and subtle changes in behavior to show internal decline.

How it influences your film:

• Shows how non-verbal performance can communicate depression.
• Helps with your 4-loop emotional progression, where small actions express big changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. The Big Snit (1985 – Animation Short)

Why it fits my film:

Explores everyday routine breaking down into emotional chaos.

How it influences your film:

• Shows how mundane actions (brushing, relaxing, household tasks) can express emotional instability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. I’m Thinking of Ending Things (2020)

Why it fits my film:

Builds a mood of suffocating repetition, internal conflict, and the desire to escape a cycle.

How it influences your film:

• Gives tone inspiration for your 4th loop, where the character tries to “break the cycle.”
• Shows how static frames and long silences convey emotional exhaustion.

Sadiel Gomez tracks to inspire your score:

• “A Tiny Boat”
• “In Your Mind”
• “Un Lugar”
• “Salvaje”
• “Por Qué No Puedo Ser Mar?”
• “Ausencia”

Why they fit my film:

• Gentle piano + ambient layers = perfect for daily repetition.
• Quiet emotional build-up fits your loop system (1–2 calm, 3–4 heavy).
• Slow progression mirrors losing affection toward routine.

 

2. Piano Minimalism (Sad, Repetitive, Daily Life Feeling)

For the first two loops, where routine is normal but slowly getting tiring:

• Ólafur Arnalds – “Saman”
• Nils Frahm – “Ambre”
• Hania Rani – “Glass”
• Max Richter – “Infra 5”
• Alexandre Desplat – “The Shape of Water (Theme)”

Why they work:

Soft repetition mirrors brushing teeth, coffee stirring, waking up.
The music feels “emotionally quiet” — like living on autopilot.

These tracks help highlight the mechanical, loop-like nature of daily tasks:

• Tycho – “Awake” (instrumental loop feel)
• Bonobo – “Recurring”
• Aphex Twin – “Avril 14th”
• Moby – “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?” (instrumental)

Why they fit:

Research & planning

 

Research

Research (Primary & Secondary)

Primary Research

I observed multiple individuals working remote or hybrid routines. Most explained that:

• Over 70% of their day is repetitive.
• They lose track of time because days feel identical.
• They feel mentally exhausted without doing anything physically tiring.
• Routine becomes depressing when there is no variation or emotional stimulation.

2. Lighting Style

1. Soft Naturalistic Lighting (Loop 1 – Normal Routine)

 Reference directors/films:

• Richard Linklater – Before Sunrise (1995)
• Greta Gerwig – Lady Bird (2017)
• Joe Swanberg – Easy (Series)

 

How it applies to my film:

• Use soft daylight, window light, practical lamps.
• Balanced exposure to show the “normal” routine.
• No harsh contrast—it feels harmless, repetitive, plain.

Why it works:
The calmness exaggerates how ordinary his life is before it starts breaking down.

 

2. Controlled, Symmetrical Light (Loop 2 – Subtle Emotional Detachment)

Reference director:

• Damien Chazelle – First Man and Whiplash
• David Fincher – Gone Girl

How it applies:

• Slightly colder lights (bluish), more shadows around edges.
• Symmetrical setups to emphasize precision and routine.
• Increase contrast to show emotional distance.

Mood:
Trapped. Impersonal. Mechanical.

 

3. Muted, Desaturated Low-Contrast Light (Loop 3 – Depression Settles In)

Reference films:

• Derek Cianfrance – Blue Valentine
• Denis Villeneuve – Enemy
• David Fincher – The Social Network (cool desaturated tones)

How it applies:

• Reduce saturation.
• Use overhead lighting that casts dark under-eye shadows.
• Minimal practicals, more natural shadows.

Mood:
Numbness. Emotional exhaustion. Time blending.

 

4. Expressionistic Harsh Lighting (Loop 4 – Breakdown)

Reference:

• Gemma Warren / A24 style lighting
• Ari Aster – Hereditary, Beau Is Afraid
• Lynne Ramsay – You Were Never Really Here
• Gaspar Noé – Climax (if you want extreme mood)

How it applies:

• Strong shadows, backlighting, silhouettes.
• Single-source light to exaggerate despair.
• Flickering or uneven lighting in shower, bathroom.
• Warmer shadows mixed with greenish ambient tones.

Mood:
Crisis. Loss of control. Trapped in his own mind.

 

 

3        Camera Style & Composition

 

 Static shots, mounted on tripod.

Balanced, centered compositions to communicate predictability.

  Medium shots dominate to show actions clearly.

 Minimal camera movement—the world feels controlled, repetitive, polite.

 

  Slight handheld movement starts to appear.

  Compositions become slightly off-center (rule of thirds pushing character to edges).

 Close-ups on repetitive actions (coffee stirring, brushing teeth, typing).

  Repetition of shot setups from Loop 1—but with minor variations.

 

 Handheld becomes shakier and more unstable.

 Tight close-ups dominate → claustrophobic feeling.

 Lens choices: 35mm or 50mm with shallow depth of field to blur the world.

  Slow push-ins during mundane actions, indicating rising tension.

 Dutch angles or slightly tilted frames used sparingly to create unease.

 

 

 

 

 rratic handheld movement when he is struggling mentally.

 Wide shots that show emptiness, loneliness, detachment from environment.

  Extreme close-ups on sensory details (shower water, lighter, trembling hands).

 Unconventional framing:

• Character cut off at edges
• Shooting from behind objects
• Out-of-focus foregrounds
• Fragmented compositions

 

 

4. Textures & Environment

The textures and environment in this film play a central role in expressing the emotional weight of monotony and the gradual psychological breakdown of the protagonist. Each loop of the routine is visually distinguished not by new locations, but by changes in the tactile and atmospheric qualities of the same spaces. The world becomes a mirror of the character’s inner decay—subtle at first, then overwhelming.

 

Loop 1 – Clean, Controlled, Predictable Environment

Texture Palette:

• Smooth surfaces
• Clean tiles
• Polished mug, neat cereal bowl
• Crisp bedsheets
• Neutral walls

Environmental Mood:

• Fresh, orderly, harmless
• Light feels “soft and normal”
• No clutter
• Everything in place

Purpose:
Establish a functional but soulless environment. His world is tidy, but emotionally empty—routine still works.

 

Loop 2 – Slight Breakdowns in Texture

Texture Palette Changes:

• Steam on bathroom mirror
• Slightly messy sink
• Toothpaste residue
• Smudges on the laptop
• Wrinkles on bedsheets
• Coffee stains become visible

Environmental Mood:

• Imperfections begin to appear
• The environment becomes subtly irritating
• Nothing is dirty, but nothing feels clean anymore

Purpose:
These micro-changes signal emotional fatigue. The environment interferes with him, just as he begins to detach from his own routine.

 

Loop 3 – Heavy, Suffocating Textures

Texture Palette Changes:

• Wet, heavy shower tiles
• Harsh bathroom texture (drips, streaks, fog)
• Darker shadows in corners
• Damp towel, lifeless fabric
• Sticky kitchen counter
• Stronger grain in visuals (can be added in post)
• Cigarette ash, dust particles

Environmental Mood:

• claustrophobic
• sensory overload
• everything feels “too close”

Purpose:
The world becomes oppressive. Textures around him gain weight—touching anything becomes uncomfortable. This visually signals emotional suffocation.

 

Loop 4 – Alienation From the Environment

Texture Palette Extreme Changes:

• Water splashing aggressively on the shower wall
• Harsh neon / colder tones exaggerating surfaces
• Overexposed bathroom mirror reflections
• Cigarette lighter sparks in darkness
• Unwashed mug
• Crushed cereal box
• Scattered groceries
• Unmade bed, darkness settling in corners

Environmental Mood:

• hostile
• uninviting
• fragmented
• surreal or dreamlike

Purpose:
In this loop, textures show his total disconnection. He doesn’t “belong” in his own environment anymore. The world now visually rejects him.

 

5. Movement & Visual Rhythm

The movement and visual rhythm of the film are designed to reflect the emotional decay of the protagonist as he repeats the same daily routine across four loops. Each cycle uses nearly identical actions, but the pacing, body movement, and camera rhythm gradually deteriorate—mirroring the internal collapse caused by monotony. Movement becomes the primary language of emotional storytelling, especially because the film is dialogue-free. As the loops progress, the body becomes heavier, the timing becomes unstable, and the cinematic rhythm breaks apart, visually communicating innovation versus interference within the character’s daily life.

 

Loop 1 – Mechanical, Controlled Rhythm

Movement (Actor):

• Clean, efficient, robotic motions
• Fast alarms → quick reaction
• Smooth brushing, clean coffee stirring
• Straight posture while working
• Calm cigarette break
• Balanced walking in grocery store

Visual Rhythm (Editing & Camera):

• Quick cuts
• Tight timing between shots
• Rhythmic continuity (actions line up perfectly)
• Repetition mimics the feel of a clock ticking

Purpose:
To establish the strict monotony of routine—life functioning like a machine.

 

Loop 2 – Slower, Hesitant Flow

Movement (Actor):

• Small delays before movements
• Slight stiffness when getting out of bed
• Slower steps, heavier shoulders
• Longer pauses before brushing or pouring coffee
• Slower reactions to alarms, meetings, tasks

Visual Rhythm:

• Cuts stretch slightly
• Movements feel “off-beat”
• Small time distortions (lingering on shots)
• Micro-frametime delays create unease

Purpose:
To show early emotional fatigue—monotony starts to interfere with motivation.

 

Loop 3 – Disrupted, Strained Movements

Movement (Actor):

• Jerky or inconsistent motions
• Hesitation in basic tasks
• Struggling to focus on laptop screen
• Hand trembling when lighting cigarette
• Slow, almost lifeless walk during grocery shopping
• Shoulders slumped, dragging feet

Visual Rhythm:

• Uneven pacing
• Jump cuts or micro-glitches
• Actions slightly out of sync with sounds
• Disrupted continuity (minor mismatches)
• Camera holds uncomfortably long on moments

Purpose:
To represent emotional breakdown; the routine is no longer functioning smoothly. Interference is now visible.

 

Loop 4 – Collapse of Rhythm / Attempt to Break

Movement (Actor):

• Alarm rings → he refuses to move
• Lighter trembling in hand, failing repeatedly
• Blank stare during online meeting
• Standing still under the shower, barely moving
• Uninterested in grooming, hygiene, or tasks
• Walking aimlessly during grocery shopping or skipping it entirely
• Body language fully defeated

Visual Rhythm:

• Long static takes → time freezes
• Abrupt cuts interrupt actions
• Moments held beyond comfort
• Some actions missing entirely (jumping past chores)
• Disconnected pacing → a rhythm that breaks itself

Purpose:
To show complete loss of emotional attachment to daily life. His attempt to innovate (break the loop) creates interference that collapses the film’s rhythm.

6. Emotional Tone

The emotional tone of the film evolves across four loops, shifting from quiet normalcy to complete psychological collapse. Since the film has no dialogue, emotion is expressed through atmosphere, pacing, movement, lighting, and sound. Each repeated routine feels emotionally heavier, creating a suffocating mood that mirrors the character’s decreasing connection to daily life. The tone transforms from subtle emptiness to overwhelming despair, guiding the audience through the mental experience of monotony, fatigue, and the desperate desire to break free.

 

Loop 1 – Neutral, Numb, Emotionless

Tone:

• Calm but hollow
• Emotionally flat
• A routine that feels mechanical and lifeless
• No dramatic emotions, just the emptiness of repetition

Audience Experience:
A sense of "this is normal" mixed with quiet discomfort—life functioning without joy.

 

Loop 2 – Subtle Discomfort & Restlessness

Tone:

• Unease begins creeping in
• Mild frustration or tiredness
• Emotional cracks under the surface
• The world feels slightly “off,” even if nothing major changes

Audience Experience:
A subtle emotional tightening—something feels wrong, even if hard to identify.

 

Loop 3 – Anxiety, Weight, and Dissociation

Tone:

• Growing emotional heaviness
• Anxiety building through sound and pacing
• Dissociation: the character feels detached from his actions
• The routine becomes mentally unbearable

Audience Experience:
A sense of suffocation—viewers feel trapped in the same loop with the character.

 

Loop 4 – Collapse, Hopelessness, and Rebellion

Tone:

• Deep emotional exhaustion
• Hopelessness mixed with desperation
• A numbness so heavy it becomes dangerous
• Last-stage burnout: no motivation to move, wash, work, or care
• Moments of rebellion (skipping tasks) mixed with despair

Audience Experience:
Witnessing the collapse creates emotional pressure—sympathy, concern, and the fear that he might not recover. This is where the loop feels most psychologically destructive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Theme:

 

Core Theme: The Emotional Erosion of Routine

The film explores how the repetition of daily tasks gradually erodes a person’s emotional energy, individuality, and sense of purpose. Routine becomes a cage—predictable, safe, but suffocating. Each loop highlights how daily habits, once comforting, slowly lose meaning until they feel like mechanical movements rather than choices.

 

Visual Symbol

1. The Alarm Clock — The Tyrant of Routine

Symbol of: control, repetition, the start of the cycle

• The alarm ringing every loop becomes a trigger of anxiety.
• In loops 1–3, he obeys it.
• In loop 4, turning it off = rebellion.

Meaning: Breaking the cycle begins by rejecting the external force that dictates his life.

 

2. Cigarette Lighter — Failing Spark

Symbol of: losing motivation, a dying “fire” inside

• Loops 1–2: lighter sparks normally.
• Loop 3: he struggles.
• Loop 4: lighter doesn’t ignite at all.

Meaning: His inner spark is fading, symbolizing burnout.

 

 

 

3. Shower Water — Emotional Overwhelm

Symbol of: cleansing vs. drowning

• Early loops: refreshing.
• Later loops: water becomes heavier, louder, oppressive.
• Loop 4: he stands still, water pouring over him like pressure.

Meaning: A task meant to energize now suffocates him.

 

STORY

The film follows a young man trapped in an endlessly repeating daily routine.
Every day begins the same way: the loud ring of his alarm. He wakes up, washes his face, brushes his teeth, pours sugar into his coffee, drinks it mechanically, takes a shower, eats cereal, works on his laptop, takes a cigarette break, attends an online meeting, goes grocery shopping, plays games, eats dinner, and finally returns to sleep.

But this is not a normal routine — it is a loop, repeating again and again. And with each cycle, something inside him fades.

 

 

Step Outline

Loop 1 — Normal Routine

The day unfolds smoothly. He performs every action with habit and familiarity.
Nothing seems wrong. The world feels stable and predictable.
The rhythm of routine controls him, but he obeys without resistance.

It is ordinary. It is normal. It is life.

 

Loop 2 — Slight Discomfort

The alarm rings again, exactly the same.
But the atmosphere shifts. His expression is duller.
He moves slower, hesitates longer, and small disturbances appear:
water sputters, coffee stirs too loudly, the meeting feels heavier, the grocery bag almost slips.

He is still functioning — but cracks begin to show.

 

Loop 3 — Emotional Disconnection

He wakes again.
This time, he has lost affection for every part of his routine.
His motions are lifeless, mechanical, drained.
The lighter takes longer to spark. His shower becomes overwhelming.
He stares blankly at the laptop screen, no longer absorbing anything.
Groceries spill, gaming feels pointless, even dinner tastes empty.

He is present, but not alive.

 

Loop 4 — The Attempt to Break Free

The alarm rings — again.
But this time, he refuses.

He turns it off and stays in bed.
He does not wash his face or brush his teeth.
He doesn’t pour coffee.
He stands still under the shower, unable to move.
He doesn’t work, doesn’t attend the meeting properly, doesn’t go grocery shopping.
He struggles to even spark the lighter.
His actions become fragments — the routine collapses completely.

For the first time, he tries to escape the loop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Character Sketch

Name: Unspecified / “The Protagonist”

(Left intentionally unnamed to make him an everyman—any viewer can project themselves onto him.)

Age: 22–30

A young adult in the early stages of professional life.

Occupation:

Remote office worker—monotonous, screen-bound, emotionally unrewarding.

Personality Traits:

• Introverted, keeps emotions to himself
• Disciplined at first, but steadily losing grip on structure
• Observant, notices small details around him but rarely reacts
• Passive, allows life to push him rather than taking action
• Burnt-out, but not yet self-aware enough to admit it

Emotional State (Across Loops):

Loop 1 — Neutral / Functional

• Goes through routine with blank efficiency
• Movements are smooth, automatic
• Emotionally numb but stable

Loop 2 — Tired / Irritated

• Slight slowness in actions
• Small mistakes (too much sugar, drops toothbrush)
• First signs of emotional fatigue

Loop 3 — Frustrated / Detached

• Face looks more drained
• Actions become sloppy
• Cigarette break is longer
• Stares blankly at laptop during meeting
• Feels trapped but has no escape

Loop 4 — Collapse & Rebellion

• Turns off alarm and refuses to get up
• Doesn’t brush his teeth
• Stands frozen under the shower
• Doesn’t work properly
• Grocery store scene shows total disconnection
• Breaking point: tries to change but doesn’t know how
• The “interference” begins—routine breaks down

Backstory (Subtle, Not Shown but Felt):

• He once had ambition but lost meaning in repetitive work
• Lives alone, minimal social interaction
• Possibly moved away from home for his job
• No strong hobbies or community; everything feels mechanical
• The routine became his identity—and now he feels erased by it

Inner Conflict:

He experiences:

• Fear of breaking the pattern
• Fear of staying in the pattern
• Guilt for wanting rest
• Shame for being exhausted
• Longing for something different he can’t name

Visual Characteristics:

• Neutral clothes (grays, blacks, muted tones) that fade with each loop
• Hair gets slightly messier in each loop
• Dark circles under eyes deepen
• Body language shrinks—shoulders drop, eye contact fades

Symbolic Representation:

He is the embodiment of modern monotony—a person swallowed by the mechanical repetition of everyday life.

Arc:

He doesn’t achieve a full transformation—but he tries.
The film ends with uncertainty, but also with the suggestion that rebellion, even small, is meaningful.
