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...
During the filming process, we had to do several takes to get the proper idea. For example, for the bedroom scene, we spent almost an hour on. This is because, we wanted to get several angles. This way, when editing, we would have several switches. In this scene, we ended up having an over the shoulder shot, a two person shot from behind, and a closer over the shoulder shot. To set this up, we had a tripod and were able to leave the phone to record. For the shots that required us to hold it, our friend Scott would. He also helped me with my makeup for this scene and the other scenes prior. For my makeup, we took Hayley's older sisters eyeshadow palette and added colors such as blue, green, and black. This process took around ten minutes. We also did this before the hallway scene because the rest of the shots will have a black eye. However, as time went on, we slowly removed the makeup. This give the allusion of time passing. For the scenes that required blood, we made fake blood f...
Planning to film took a while for my partner and I. This is because both of us had very busy schedules for a long time. But, for this project, we had to make time and move things around. So far, we are planning to film the weekend of February 24th. The is because it was when we were both free. This date would also give us time to get things ready for the film. This includes makeup, props, outfits, and any other things we may need during production. Also, Hayley and I may have some of our friends to help us film. They would be in our movie and would help us film the scenes both of us would be in. Having them in it would make it easier and less time devoted to filming. This possibility came up when I was discussing the project to one of my friends who loves film. Him and I have filmed several at home movies together. He has also done a lot on his own when it comes to filming things. Overall, I think my friend, Scott would be a great addition to helping us and could be one of the dir...
