River: Day 3 filming

Our third day of filming was an overall successful day, seeing we got bulk of our scenes done. The weather was better, as it was less windy and there was no rain. It was still quite cold however, meaning we were rushing slightly due to the clothes of the main characters not being too warm. Despite this, we braved the cold and filmed the shots while also recording the audio of the scenes simultaneously. Even though this was not on the first day of filming, our actors still did well to look the same to keep the continuity of the film. As I was the writer, it was my duty to make sure the cast were saying there lines correctly and with conviction.

The equilibrium is not rein...

From a vague view of the film, its a psychological horror  with dark and gritty elements permeating through the 3 minutes. The title sequence already begins to strike fear into the viewer through the aural effect of the heartbeat effect and the eerie coin spinning in the void.   As the film begins, the director continues to inject anxiousness into the viewer. It begins with an over the shoulder shot of a man, looking across at another man, standing awkwardly in front of him. the claustrophobic, uneasy room makes the viewer feel uncomfortable, with the visual effect of not being able to see their faces or know what the setting is  being significant, as one of the great human fears is the fear of the unknown.
