Also, bright and sunny visuals are an implication of positivity. This is like, basic filmography technique there.
Maybe a movie called Hours Until Dawn, about a college student fighting himself/herself to get an crucial assignment done that night and get some sleep before the next day of classes.
Time passes. Through a combination of trying, mostly futilely, to somehow make progress on the paper, and also wasting time on social sites and gaming, it's 4:40 PM. He suddenly gets a burst of energy and gets...a few more sources found.
Then 5 PM comes and goes. There is an odd contrast. The world keeps turning and still exists; nothing seems like it's changed. On the other hand, the student now feels a strangely dull sense of dread -- his grade is now at his professor's mercy. He doesn't have a paper written, so he can't even turn in half a paper...at best he has an outline, or two contrasting ones. He can write quickly, but this isn't just a post on the internet; this is a paper where he actually needs to back up his points with references and rigorous reasoning. He can't just go in guns blazing with just his opinion.
It's 6 PM. The student's stomach grumbles. He could go get some food. But that would mean leaving his laptop and large pile of papers by themselves in the library. And more importantly, it's already an hour past when the paper was due. Feeling desperate, he tries to soldier on. But with a lack of direction, he makes at best limited progress. Over half of the next few hours are wasted in distractions.
And so on. I haven't yet decided if he finishes by dawn. But you get the idea. It's someone fighting time.

Filmed religious tracts are the worst.
this is still my favorite Uplifting Christian MovieTM trailer
Tie daytime to soul-crushing work grind, bureaucratic harassment, and getting fucked with by corrupt institutions. Film in such a way that light washes out a lot and becomes harsh and overbearing. Tie nighttime to bonding and humanizing moments, where darkness reflects calm and basic human intimacy.
^^ I dunno what that was all about but I found it really funny. ^_^;
op: I am kind of in disbelief that that is actually a thing and not satire... when I started watching the trailer I thought it was a satire. :o
I just wanted to dance and hang out
