Lorraine uses Adobe Premiere to create a unique and moving film that combines real-world video content with clips from various dramas and movies. The main narrative structure to be non-linear, presented as memories or flashbacks. Certain scenes, such as train or glimpses of the outside world through a train window evoking memories of previous interactions with a loved one. The use of overlap and montage, which allow the audience to contemplate their own romantic and nostalgic memories enhanced the film's visceral and emotional layers. Utilizing well-known clips from dramas and movies may make viewers feel nostalgic and encourage them to rethink how media affects our perceptions of relationships and love. It uses powerful video and meaningful emotional content to tell love stories across time and place, inspiring viewers to reflect on emotional longing and the commonality of human connection.
