Play Welcome to the Production! 👻 🎃 👻 ☠️ 🎃 ☠️ 🎃   Commencement of Project The production was schedueled for night of 1st February. As planned, the shoot was done and completed in the whole night and the editing was completed the next day. Filming and Lighting I filmed my movie with an Iphone 15 camera which has a 48 MP - 26 mm wide camera.

I captured that establishing shot some time ago when I went on a trip and that matched my film's ambience so I added it there.

Hence, I needed an individual who could give flawless expressions, convey the emotions through the countenance, and be able to demonstrate the scenario to the viewers through body language and gestures.  For the selection, I first interviewed my family members, in which particularly my brother and my father auditioned. Even though the acting skills were on par, there was still the need of improvemment in the maturity of facial expressions that my preliminary required.  Next, I auditioned my freinds, and from among them, two of them suited particularly well for the two roles in my film.

As I've already watched multiple movies, this time, I viewed them differently and carefully and did the microanalysis of the technical elements. The semiotics used in all of these are:   Camerawork;   Close up shots - Due to this, the camera captures the protagonist's expressions clearly while the background is easily blurred too. The blurred background proves to be a very beneficial element as the ghost or strange creature can be highlighted there.  High angle shots - This connotes  the character as terrified or under fear. Sounds;   Diegetic sounds - These sounds are used to make the scene seem more realistic. Examples may include amplification of heartbeats, footsteps or sound of breathing.  Jump scare/Beat drops -...
