    Finally, after continuously trying to pursue three different editing apps, I had an idea. I was reminded of the times I used to post videos on social media and instantly thought of Instagram. When editing on this platform, such as stories, posts, and reels, putting music over the final result was simple and self explanatory. So, I went to Instagram, went to the "add post" button and began to work. Of course, I had no intention on posting this video to my social media, but I figured that I knew how to work everything and it gave all the resources that an average editing app would have. To begin, I chose all the pictures and videos I had saved in my albums. Then, I decided what order I wanted them to be in. This is because the past three apps I used, I had a specific order. However, it did not look correct to me and I wanted to switch it up. My original plan was to put one video in the beginning of the video and one at the end. Through further discovery in my camera roll however, I came across another video I love, one that would be perfect for the joyful vibe I was going for. This video consisted of me and my best friend in the pool deck randomly dancing. It was perfect. So, eventually I decided to add this video in the middle of the commercial and the result was impeccable. Since changing this, it made me realize how some of the pictures did not properly represent who I was or the things I loved to do. So, I once again, decided to change the pictures. After what felt like ages of going through all of my pictures, I finally felt content with the pictures in my commercial. I began to add the music and had the easiest time doing so. My main goal with the music was to have the pictures switch on beat. Although this did take me a while and I still am not complete with it, I believe that it is going to really tie the project together.

 Hello and welcome back to the Filmer's Guide Podcast where I discuss all things film. If you are new here, I am your host, Reagan Haskell, a short film enthusiast that spends my time creating and directing new ideas to produce into the world. Recently, my team and I have produced a film called An Eye for an Eye, which is about two young girls, Hazel and Vivian, both of which were bullied endlessly by their classmates. One day, they are pushed to their limit and begin to go on a killing spree of everyone who has ever wronged them.  As most of you know, after I produce short films, I like to give a Q and A about the process and my perspective on the film. So, on my Instagram, I told my followers to ask me questions and I will be answering them for you today.  The first question, asked by Percy Harding was, "How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups?" So, I feel like most thriller movies show the perspective of the protagonis...

          To film this trailer like we wish my partner, Hayley, and I have to film these shots at several locations. For example, for the scene in Hazel's room where the two girls are developing their "kill list" we plan to use Hayley's room. We will also be using the bulletin board in her room as a prop to make the revenge board. For the scene where Matt Brown is being shoved into the pool, we plan to use Hayley's pool in her backyard. For the scene where Jessica is getting shoved into the road, we plan to safely use the street in her neighborhood. Other scenes such as Aaron walking alone and being followed will also be shot in the same neighborhood. However, for the first opening scene, it is not known specifically where we can shoot this. As time gets closer and we begin production, hopefully this issue will be resolved.     The safety of the film is our top priority. Since, there are a lot of death scenes and dangerous stunts that need to be p...
