Troy: Time TravelStorytelling
Narrative · Character continuity
THE IDEA.
The intention.
A character-led time-travel short that drops a modern vlogger into ancient Troy as the city prepares to bring the giant wooden horse inside its walls.
THE CHALLENGE
Maintain one recognisable character, selfie-camera logic and a believable historical world across crowds, daylight and night scenes without losing story momentum.
THE APPROACH
I structured the film as connected story beats, directing performance, character continuity, environmental scale and the shift from wonder to danger. The giant wooden horse remains the visual anchor throughout.
