Planning: Context Finger Prints

In one section of my video I plan on using paint to leave hand marks against trees. Finger prints have negative connotations and that is something that I wanted to address within my video. The camera will focus on the top of the hand, where it will look clean, while underneath, wherever the young man touches, he leaves a mark. This is a metaphorical reference to how he is feeling, on the outside he appears normal but he is actually emotionally troubled. My actor will then turn his hands over and see the dirt. Leaving a mark against something could imply a permanent imprint, foreshadowing the ending of the video, where it ends incomplete and with no solution. In some instances my actor will not realise that he is leaving marks. They can also signify that he is leaving an imprint on something and himself but he isn't aware that he has an impact on people around him.
