CASTING
The same day as the creation of the script our team had to find actors that can fill in the roles of the imaginary characters created. But there was sadly limits to the choices we could make. Some of our possible actors had poor grades and overall just wouldn't be able to leave class the days of our planned recording. 
Due to this factor we slimmed our characters down to 4 possible canidates. One of them being me. 
 As the editor of the film I already established in my brain how i wanted the characters to be developed so acting in my own film was a smart decision and overall helped our team in the long run.

Now for the other characters we needed a victim and a chess player. 
We decided these two by having each character perform a run. The run was going to show which actor was the most realistic at acting scared while running.



Out of the three we went with the last two due to them wearing red which was the uniform the characters were supposed to come in and the first runner wasn't in proper attire. The red has a deep meaning within the film basically representing death.

In conclusion, the casting went successful and we were able to start the movie within the same day.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... 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...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. 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...
