Bangladesh along with the world is moving into a digitalization world. As, this digital sector is huge and can play a big part in the future or in the 4th industrial revolution so people are becoming very eager to learn and know VFX. With this growth, hope our future will be based on this digital technology. Our final project is a VFX short film. As VFX industry is huge and there are many areas to explore. So, we selected the short film route by seeing the Marvel and DC movies, and some others short videos on YouTube. Also, other film industry like Bollywood, Tollywood and in our Bangladeshi film we can see the use of VFX. A short film based on any kind of addiction and visual effects is pretty common nowadays but very hard to fully make it right in the eyes of audience. To make a good film first we have to understand what the audience want which the audience will like. So, we did some research and found what will the audience like. To make a short film first we need a goal so story selection is very important and give it a perfect & suitable name. This name will bear the identity of the short film. As our film is based on addiction and revolve around hallucination, we selected the name of short film is “LOST IN THE SCREEN”. The short film about a young boy who is oppressed with game addiction. In the short film we will show how game addiction destroyed his physical and mental health and behavior towards others.
