Other films with less evocative themes were a documentary drama of growing up as an kid in the indifference of the pre-computerized urban jungle, a film about a woman passing out of romance, called "Still Life". and "Train" where a retired train conductor imagines himself to be part of an ongoing train ride past his window and the window comes across as a metaphor on what he imagines his reality to be.

Here was an artist who had the potential to be surreal as in the "Train" and make relatively mundane situations appealing by having the actor invasion himself still conducting a train from the comfort an armchair and when the imagery reaches a peak than the "window" of his mind crashes and he is left to wonder where his life went.

In "Usure" he panned ahead of the actress, a technique uncommon in filming to create the romantic tension of one lesbian at grips with losing her lover and trying to move across the screen to catch up with her other half. Just the message that the couple had kissed hundreds of times and in every way imaginable added a strong subtext to the short film: signifying how so many couples find that being a couple is less inviting than the thrill of being physically intimate. It is a message, which is all too applicable in any couple relationship.

So a simple train skit does not have to be something super-intensive on an actor playing with a toy train it can also be about his anticipation of something about to happen before it actually occurs. One could mount a simple circular track on a cardboard base made to look like a piece of property by coloring in homes that are drawn along the route or one can go all out and put together papier-mâché homes if there is time. The actor could play with the train and move it along, or he could also run up to obstacles that appear out of the blue like a cow the crosses the tracks. Comic elements occur when by he frantically tries to remove the toy farm animal from the track. This scene can be extended further to add tension.

We all wait for public transport vehicles so why not consider have him look attentive trying to decipher a familiar whistle sound that he hears in the distance. I am then suggesting not just working with visuals but also acoustics to show that the train is arriving as if the player's thoughts have materialized. There could be the added element of mounting a flashlight in a make believe tunnel to give the effect of a train about to emerge but now with special effect on the web, one can obtain visual effects such as this.

The train may disappear back into the make believe tunnel and actor can attempt to locate it desperately. Here is where the actor comes to terms with facing his own imaginary world. That too may make a good comical ending.
