NEW PLOT

After scouting the locations our team decided to scrap the entire plot we initially made alongisde the genre and began the evolution of "Check Mate". 

In our new film Check Mate our main character Alex, is playing a psychological game of chess against her soon to be murder. Every move she makes on the chess board represents her moves in her subsequent reality. As the game gets closer to the end, Alex's chess skills are exposed as the murder gets checkmate on her within only a couple of moves. As this occurs Alex is shown running into a dead end representing her being out of moves. 


Our new plot has a general theme that every move that you make in life matters. This is displayed through the plays on the board and the moves in her real life.

Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
