Starting Fresh

Lately, I have been watching more shows and films. I have noticed that with the love interests, the guy is usually more obsessive in an unhealthy manner. For example, I recently watched New Girl and one of the main character's Nick has been constantly calling his ex-girlfriend and refusing to accept that she broke up with him. It is important to show men that taking no for an answer is important. Women are allowed to have their own feelings and can choose to not want to be in a relationship. The gender performative theory guided our work. Our product represents the social issue of viewing women as possessions. Our main character, Brooke, is stalked and kidnapped by a male who views her as something he must have. We are showing that possessive and obsessive love does not win in the end. At the end of our film, the kind and respectful guy ends up with Brooke, so we are setting a positive example of what love should be like. We have gone with a red and black theme for our posts to sig...

The filming process has been a lot tougher than I initially envisioned. My partner and I had to completely remove the three friends we were planning to use as actors from the film because they have such busy schedules. Nobody's schedules were able to line up. We ended up finding a new person willing to film whenever, but now my partner and I must act in the film. So, my partner and I will take turns filming and acting. There are certain scenes where she will act and I will  film and vice versa.

Here is a clip from a scene we filmed with our old actors: Another challenge we faced is finding the perfect music for our film. At times, we have the perfect sound in our head. However, we have difficulty finding copyright music that we like. We ended up just listening to a bunch of sounds on copyright ...

We have started advertising! We have posted on Twitter and Instagram and have been gaining followers. We recently made a youtube video and are in the process of uploading behind the scenes footage with the actors!  Here is our Instagram account and its first post! Here is our Twitter where we announced the release of the movie! We have started filming the college scenes. We have taken some candid shots “on set” and will be posting those on Instagram as well. Here is a shot of my co-director filming a scene! Exciting news: we have our full cast! We have three actors. Since we could only find female actors, two of my friends have agreed to play the role of boys.  We have started to film the first two scenes that are set at the college. The only editing we have done thus far is cropping the length of scenes. We will edit all of the scenes together once we film more. We have had no issues using our phone cameras. Using our phones has made it easy to film since they are small and p...
