Intro

  Spending my free time in nature is something I have come to enjoy. My happy places include the beach and the mountains, while very different from each other, these two places are where I have created my most fondest memories. From playing mermaids in the ocean during sunset, to gathering around a fluorescent fire with friends, the outdoors is for sure the root to most of my happiness. However, with these memorable moments also comes things that I am not so appreciative of: bugs. Given that I have spent all this time outside, I have had several run-ins with natures finest, mosquitos. Even with bug spray it seems that they never are properly repelled and their constant biting results in uncontrollable itchiness, something that is no where near joyful. 

    Hanging out with my friends on FaceTime, at school, or during the weekends is also something that brings me immense joy. Most of my friends either go to another school or I have zero classes with them, so the weekends are when I get to see them and when I am the happiest. Over the weekend, we go to each others houses, go to the mall, and of course, go to the beach. Being surrounded by my friends is another source of my happiness, they make me laugh, and are judgement free so it is easy to be myself. 

    Another thing that makes me happy is music, putting on my headphones and blasting my favorite artists such as Taylor Swift, SZA, The Weeknd, and Mac Miller allows my head to tarnish the negativity from the day. While, I try to be accepting of all music, one thing I can not get behind is country music. No matter how hard I try, I cannot see myself listening to it, although some songs are plausible, most is just not my kind of music. 

    Overall, I am so excited to do this movie trailer. As a student, I feel like I have grown so much. I have learned new techniques, editing skills, and camera angles. I see this as an opportunity to incorporate my new knowledge and creativity to make something special. Through the ups and downs of this process, I believe to be confident in these skills. Hopefully, my group and I will be able to correctly portray our ideas. As well as have fun on the way.

An Eye For An Eye CCR

 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...
