     One main issue Hayley and I had during our last film was people not understanding the plot. So, this time, we knew it had to be different. Meaning, it had to be clear and easy to get. This is a a main reason we did the bulletin board. As well as the several voice overs. The bulletin helped get a visual. This way, the audience could see the name, picture, and hear what the person did. When filming the death scenes, we also wanted the audience to know who was who. At first, we just put the murders in place of what we put on the bulletin board. But, this was not enough, since there were so many names and plots. So, Hayley and I decided we could place the voiceovers over these scenes. This way there would kind of be a flashback to the bulletin board scene. This method helped remind the audience of what the characters did wrong. These methods worked because when we showed our classmates and family, they instantly understood what was going on. 

    Another thing we wanted to do is make the audience hate Jessica Kennedy as much as Vivian and Hazel did. To do this, we thought back to how other movies made us hate the main characters. It was not just one main thing these characters, but their consecutive actions. So, we knew we had to come up with several incidents she did. 

    For most of the killing scenes, we wanted to kill them in a way that represented the way they bullied us. So, since Matt Brown gave Hazel a swirly, he was pushed into a pool. Since Penelope cut Vivian's hair, we  cut her wrists. Finally, since Jessica Kennedy hit Hazel's dog with a car, we killed her off by hitting her with a car. These also led up to Vivian's dream because of how the murders matched with the way they were bullied.

 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
