To Sum Up

Overall, the experience was one that we all enjoyed a great deal. Tension was high through a lot of it, but ultimately the film turned out rather well (in my opinion, anyway) with things coming together really well.

I think my favourite scenes are the one we added on the fly (Reaper busting out to "I've got you on my mind") and the shower scene. Despite some difficulties in the shooting of the shower scene (ask Jess about her head), in the edit, it all came together wonderfully.

Thanks to Jess and Renee for being such good sports about the whole thing, some of the scenes were an arse to do, and had to be shot a million times - you guys were great.

Thanks to Sarah and Matt for the great work on the tight final edits and for making the thing flow really well with the music and sfx.

Bye!

Shameless Plugging: The Proposal

Proposal – Short Film: “Fortune?”

A superstitious girl exits her house one morning to find an advertisement in the mail for a clairvoyant. As she goes out the gate, a black cat runs in front of her. Startled, she drops her handbag, out of which falls a small compact, the mirror of which shatters.

Rather distressed by these bad omens, the girl goes straight away to see the advertised clairvoyant, who performs a tarot reading, which signals that she will die within the day.

Horrified, she sees death everywhere, nearly choking in a cafe, almost being run over, fearing she is about to be stabbed by a coated person eating an apple, and then in the shower before bed.

At 11:59, she hops into bed, satisfied that she has shaken off the prediction. Leaning backwards, she knocks a heavy mirror off her wall, which falls and kills her instantly.
