    Poster design

    Every good movie needs a good poster to attract potential viewers. While our poster — designed as if for a hypothetical film festival presentation — isn’t heavily scripted in terms of layout or content, it still draws attention. The Ace of Pentacles emerges through a blurred background, while the entity’s…

  • Editing Process

    Editing Process

    The editing of the movie was primarily handled by my teammate, Carla, who used DaVinci Resolve to complete the task. My role was mostly focused on generating ideas and brainstorming the creative aspects of the project. Since this was my first experience working on a laptop, I wasn’t able to…

    Raw Footage – Sound “in the making”

    In this audio, you can hear my initial thought process as I explore the melody. Due to limited time, we started recording right away, hoping to catch a strong musical idea to build on later. While playing, I’m also watching the silent movie projected in front of me, jotting down…

    Sound Production

    I was responsible for composing the soundtrack for our film opening. I’ve been playing the piano since I was five, but only in the classical style like playing scales and reading music sheets— I played mostly Bach. This time, however, I was challenged to create my own interpretation for our…

    Filming Day 3

    This was our final day in Dealu Botii. On this day, we focused on capturing the walking/running scenes, as well as the “Real Victim 1.0” reaction shots. Our first setback came with the tarot cards. The night before, we had left them near the fireplace to dry off after they’d…

    Filming Day 2

    On second day, we were focused on filming the scenes that required hard makeup and more detailed mise-en-scene. The day was far more time-consuming than the first, we were planning to film about a half of our movie if not more… We began by going over the notes and mood…

  • Filming Day 1

    Filming Day 1

    On our first day at the location, we set out to shoot the scenes that were set at the church for “The Victim” character. Mihnea, who was supposed to serve as the stunt double for the entire film opening, had yet to arrive, so I stepped in as a last-minute…
