 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

 I am finally back to film. It is the weekend now and all of my actors are free. This means that I can finally get to film some of the last bit of scenes that I need to wrap up my short film. Which is what I did. After the transition I wanted to film the ending of the escape room. Finally, the weekend has arrived, granting me the opportunity to resume filming with all of my actors available. With everyone's schedules aligned, I'm eager to capture the remaining scenes necessary to complete my short film. The prospect of bringing the project to a close fills me with excitement and anticipation. Setting up for the filming session, I ensure that all equipment is in place and ready to go. The atmosphere on set is charged with creativity and enthusiasm as we prepare to dive into the final scenes. The completion of these scenes marks a significant milestone in the filmmaking process. After meticulously planning each shot, we begin filming the concluding moments of the escape room sequ

Production Blog: Working on the Transition

 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

 Today's filming plans were disrupted by an unexpected setback stemming from one of my actor's work commitments. Despite this hurdle, I remain optimistic and proactive in addressing the situation. Rescheduling filming to the upcoming weekend ensures the participation of the full ensemble, preserving the cohesiveness of the scenes. While setbacks are inevitable in filmmaking, they are manageable challenges that can be overcome with resilience and adaptability. Postponing filming allows me to focus on refining other aspects of the project, such as script improvements and location scouting. This setback serves as a valuable reminder of the complexities involved in coordinating a production and the importance of careful planning. Open communication with the actors about the revised schedule fosters cooperation and understanding, minimizing disruptions to the workflow. Embracing setbacks with a positive mindset underscores my commitment to delivering a high-quality final product. De

Despite the setback, I remained determined to make the most of the day by focusing on other aspects of the project.

I'm back! After pushing back filming I finally get to resume. My actors and I have only shot a little bit of a short film. Due to that today I wanted to get to work. 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. I liked the fact that it felt more calm because I wanted my film to start off like that. Resuming filming after the brief hiatus filled me with renewed determination and excitement. With a clear vision in mind, I ensured that every moment on set was utilized efficiently to capture the essence of the scene.
