As of now, most collaborative proposals have failed. There is only one person left, and I am not exactly sure whether or not this will ultimately work. I asked too late. Therefore, I am making preparations in case I will make my project alone, as originally planned.
"Analogue" is a derivative of the world "analogy". One compares something to another discreetly--the author does not go to great lengths to explain the connection or how it is relevant, but instead relies on the reader's intuition to come to an understanding of how they are connected, often, in fact, relying on the reader's personal knowledge of the reference to drive the point.
For example, one can make a simple analogue to the pain that one feels upon a heartbreak to the "being shot through the heart with an arrow." To the uninitiated, heartbreak is difficult to relate to, but one can almost certainly imagine the pain from being shot by an arrow. The strength of an analogy therefore depends entirely on how much the viewer is able to understand the undertones presented by the subject the author is comparing to.
For my project, the film's narrative structure will draw analogies within its own storyline. The idea calls for a split storyline that cross-references itself as its characters share seemingly different hardships, but are actually similar (made through visiual congruence).
