Learn about me!



My name is Iman Ahmad and I am a senior taking AICE Media Studies A Level this year! Last year, I was introduced into the film production world when I took AICE Media Studies AS Level. I now feel more knowledgable on filming and editing techniques. I struggled last year with minimizing my film opening to two minutes. I think I planned out too many scenes in advance and did not realize that I would need to cut down a lot. This year, I plan to be more conscious of the time restraints so that I am not struggling to cut down when editing. I am happy with the costumes and film setting last year. I feel that my props and location made the film opening realistic and I am going to pay close attention to these details on my film this year too. This year, I am glad we get more time to film so that we can tell a full story rather than just a short opening like last year. I am super excited to start brainstorming filming and marketing ideas!!

Creative critical reflection

Our film is finally complete! The process definitely had its ups and downs, but I am glad that our film is finally ready for release. In regards to branding, we chose a red and black theme. Our social media posts incorporate a red and black theme to signify danger and horror. Our link tree is also red and black. Overall, we chose dark colors and a dark ambiance for our film to represent the thriller and horror aspect. We also branded the protagonist and antagonist a certain way. Iman, the stalker, is seen wearing red and black in her opening shot. This is a subtle way of foreshadowing to the viewers that she is a villain. Ainsley, the good love interest, is seen wearing a light colors in her opening scene. We used light to represent good and darkness to represent the bad at the beginning. We purposely did not stick to this theme for all of their clothing because we did not want to make it too obvious and throw it in the face of the audience. We also chose to refrain from using too much

My Inspiration

I took inspiration from many shows that showed a presumed dead character and then bringing them back into the show by showing them as alive. I enjoy the suspense and thrill that this creates and how it allows for many previous back stories to be revealed. I was inspired by the show You, where the main character Joe hits his ex-lover in the head and he presumes she is dead in season one. He then buries her alive. However, in season two, the ex pops up into his life unexpectedly. He is shocked to see her alive. From You, I would like to imitate how Joe moves and starts a completely new life with a new identity whenever he kills someone. Another inspiration I have  is the show Pretty Little Liars. This show consists of 5 friends, where one is presumed dead. However, she turns up unexpectedly and it is discovered she was buried alive. She returns back to her hometown and to her old friends, which comes as a shock to them. From Pretty Little Liars, I would like to imitate where Allison asks
