I’m Back and Better than Ever

    Apologies for the hyper pessimistic blog post on Thursday, but it really made me reflect on my work for the past few months. I wasn’t happy at all with how the filming experience went, or how the final footage came out. I was so mad that I spent these last two months working on this only for it to come out like that. So I decided to take a risk. I reshot everything.

  I decided to do it my way this time though. I’ve filmed everything in the class with my phone, so I would do my final project with it too. I contacted the same actors as before, one cancelled on me unfortunately, but I was able to get someone else relatively quickly luckily. And it went great! This time around, I felt so much more comfortable directing people. I changed the setting I had originally chosen to be my garage, which I think genuinely made all the difference. My dark, mesy garage is so much more atmospheric and I think made everyone seem so much more confident in what we were working on. I fixed lighting to make it darker and creepier. I’m just so proud with how everything ended up coming out and I could not be more happy at my decision to reshoot. Sometimes being a perfectionist is for the better.

Anyways here are some pictures on set and some of the footage (sneak peaks…)
