After an extensive process, the film was finally complete. It has been a very rough journey, especially with collaborating and working with people. The project really tested our time management skills as we all had to come together for production to make sure we had a full cast on set for production.

Darker Themes

As a student working on a film project with my classmates Max and Jibril, we needed a prop murder weapon to use in one of our scenes.  We decided to use a knife as it was a common tool and easily available to us.  Using a knife as a prop for a murder scene was not an easy task as it posed a safety risk if not handled carefully.  Before we started filming, we made sure to practice using the knife safely.  We learned the proper techniques for holding and manipulating the knife, as well as how to keep it away from our bodies while using it.  We also ensured that the knife was blunt and had no sharp edges to prevent any accidents during filming.  Once we felt confident in our abilities to handle the prop, we incorporated it into our scene.  As the actor holding the knife, I had to make sure that my grip was firm but not too tight, to prevent any slippage or accidents.  I also had to be mindful of the angle and position of the knife to ensure that it looked realistic on camera.  While fil

Production and Transportation

 Although we are eager to begin working, our group has been very slow to progress. Each of us has been very busy with school and tests, leaving less time that we can all congregate to consistently film. We also have additional extracurriculars that limit the opportunities we have from meeting up together. Now this would be nearly impossible if we had to rely on our parents to drive us from place to place. It would also inconvenience everyone if we try and make a small adjustment to our schedules. Luckily, Maximus is eligible to drive and was planned drive us to our filming locations. These would include his and Jibril's houses. After this planning earlier in the year, we had expected our meeting dates to be flexible with this in mind. Unfortunately, the unexpected has constantly struck. For example, the car had to be repaired in the shop and was unavailable for about a week. Again, this left us with less available time for production of our film. This really hurt our motivation to

Critical Reflection

  Our short film represents themes of power and mental health, both of which are common today. As our protagonist suffers from his wife’s death, we can see the emotional toll and how it consumes this. This can be interpreted as a representation of another being controlling and even surveying him to find out his next move. In today’s day and age parties have tried to get more power and control over media, especially by means of technology. In terms of surveying, the film shows how the killer somehow knows where our protagonist is and what he is doing, as if he had been watching his every move. In another sense, this could be an illustration of how governments and other organizations can watch their people and remain in control of their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Also, another common issue represented is the sensitive mental health topic. As previously mentioned, the film does its best to express the protagonist’s feelings of grief and sadness after the loss of his wife. It can be
