 My short film is a mystery-thriller that tells the story of a girl who is in the process of moving, however this night takes a dark turn. As the night progresses, the girl starts noticing things around the house that are unusual. While in the process of moving, the girl is trying to get things done while also trying to figure out what is going on. In the end, the unexpected plot twist being that someone was within her house and followed her to her new place shows the uncomfortable reality that danger is everywhere and that this is a scary world we live in nowadays. This not only serves as a plot twist but also serves as a mirror reflecting the inherent flaws of the human psyche. Furthermore, the film subtly addresses the pervasive issue of mental health and its intersection with criminal behavior. Through the character of the stalker who is revealed to be following and harassing the main character, we are prompted to consider the complexities of mental illness and its potential to man

Production Blog: Working on the Transition

Image
 Due to one of my actors working this entire week, I’ve decided to work on something else. And my film I wanted to film the beginning of the escape room and have a transition into the end. So this is what I decided to do. Since I can no longer do any filming until my actors are free, I decided to work on this. For this, I had to download an app. Due to me, working on prior projects, I feel as though this will come to me naturally. Which I was right. I took the time to get this transition out-of-the-way so that my next step could be to do the last bit of scenes and just wrap it up and then finish it off with my editing. Given the scheduling conflict with one of my actors, I've opted to shift my focus to another aspect of the film. Specifically, I've decided to work on creating a transition sequence from the beginning to the end of the escape room scene. This decision allows me to utilize my time productively while waiting for my actors' availability. To accomplish this, I ne

I left no time for anything to happen. I wanted to go perfect so that we could have more stuff done. Which thankfully went well. Today I got to film some more of my actors. The scene that I had to film today it was more entertaining. This scene also has introduced to the audience. What is going to go on. Today I had filled my actors beginning to participate in the escape room. I wanted to film this because I felt as if it was more calm.

With a clear vision in mind, I ensured that every moment on set was utilized efficiently to capture the essence of the scene.
