Englit Theatre

​ I was assigned to work as a film crew so my main duty in the project was to produce the film.

After we had the movie script done by our friends and professor, the other two crews and I worked together to plan for mood and tone of the movie before shooting. On shooting days, since I did not have a camera, I assisted my friends on directing camera angles and checking the footages right after we had done shooting in each scene. However, I was managed to shoot on the final scene (Cindy’s hallucination in the restroom). I took responsibility editing two acts, act III - act IV, along to combining separate acts into a full movie. In act III when Cindy and Mac have a fight, I decided to present both footages from live camera and another one closing up to Cindy’s face to portray the actress’ emotion; moreover, I thought that it might help the movie to become more fascinating because live camera would only illustrate the still motion—without the actor and actress’ faces—for too long and that might be too repetitive. Initially, we planed to reduce the room’s lights to foreshadow Mac’s death after he does his first live without Cindy; however, minimizing the lights did not help creating the gloom that we intended to create differently from the acts prior so I decided to add the raining scene before the beginning of act III. Therefore, it makes sense that the following scenes becomes somber and darker before reaching to the peak of Cindy’s emotion at the end of the act. I added sound effects in the scenes which we could not make natural sounds, for instance, raining, glass breaking, body thud, and fighting sounds. In addition to sound effects, I also added soundtracks to increase audiences’ emotion towards the film, for instance, the moment when Cindy discovers Mac’s new instagram, Mac’s death, Cindy’s final scene in the restroom, and at the end of the movie with end credit.
