 In order to start filling, my partner and I had some things we needed to get in order first. To begin with, the costumes. Although there will only be two of us doing the acting, we must make more costumes for the other people we will be playing. This is so the audience would be able to decipher between who is who. This also helps the audience understand what is going on. For these outfits, we had to tap into the character and think about how they would dress. This could be based on the personality they show or the vision we have of them I our head. For example, for Jessica Kennedy, we are planning to have her wear a short skirt, a tank top, and more name brand clothing. The makeup she would be wearing has also been taken into account for her personality. Both Hayley and I believe she would be the type to wear a full face of makeup and have things such as mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss applied. For the main characters, Vivian an Hazel, they would have more of a natural look to them as well as wear more comfortable clothes that would not necessarily be "on trend". For example, it could be sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt, or just very basic clothing. When playing the male roles however, we plan to put our hair up or were hats/hoodies. This way it is clear that we are no longer feminine but more masculine. We would also wear baggier pants or longer shorts to show the character change. For the makeup for the guys, things such as fake mustaches and sideburns have also been taken into account. Finally, for the scenes that do call for more gory effects Hayley and I plan to use makeup, such as eyeshadow for bruises. I also have fake blood from Halloween, which can come in handy for a lot of the scenes. Overall, I believe makeup and costumes will really help show our vision. This will also hopefully tie our whole film 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...
