One thing that was stuck in my head was the fact that I had to shoot the video in front of the main character as he walks towards the woods. This complexity meant that I had to walk backwards to try to avoid the thorny plants while working on the focus and making the video less shaky. As a result, we came up with the plan for Mr. McPherson to tug the sides of my jacket as I walked so that I could avoid the obstacles. This is also the reason for the walking to be so slow. I had to make the shots steady and any faster would have been too unsteady to see the main character’s face! Another thing that was eerie was carrying the skeleton. We had to carry the skeleton to the shoot every day, and oftentimes his jaw would fall off. His head also fell off quite easily, which prompted a solution which was to put the bones in the bags and reassemble the skeleton later. The clothes, such as the trousers, also tended to slip off his body which was a pain for whoever had the misfortune to carry it to the site. One of the most difficult parts of the short film was composing the music. One thing that was especially painful was the fact that I had to make the music in sync with the video. Another problem was to compose it so it lasted for seven minutes. To the right is the music for the chase scene. Now, let’s talk about what was cut from the story. First of all, one thing that was cut out was a basement scene. Originally, I had planned for a basement scene where the main character was to be bound to a chair. The basement scene would have been cool, but we ran out of time. Secondly, I thought a drone scene where the creepy guys were below the drone and the main character would just walk into the scene while talking was a cool idea. However, both scenes were dropped due to time constraints. Above right is a diagram of the shot. Thirdly, we did not have enough time to remember the lines for the characters. However, the talented people who were involved in the film were able to come up with lines on the spot! I think they had even done better than what would have been the original lines. Finally, one scene that we left out was a drone scene depicting the chase. That was not intended to be deleted, but I could not get a hold of the file, so I could not edit it in. To the right is a photo of when we were filming the scene. I hope you guys enjoyed learning more about the film, and if you have any more ideas for a future film, please let me know!
