 Preparing for filming meant making sure we had all the right equipment. Nathaniel took charge of researching and selecting the best cameras to capture the fast-paced action of the street racing scenes. We needed cameras that could handle high-speed footage while still maintaining crisp detail. Along with the cameras, we rented stabilizers to ensure smooth shots while driving, and action cameras for a first-person perspective from inside the cars. We also rented a drone to get aerial shots of the races, adding a dynamic layer to the film’s visuals. David was in charge of organizing the lighting, especially for the night scenes. We needed the lighting to feel dramatic but not overpower the action, so we tested different setups before filming began. As we worked through the equipment list, we realized how important every detail would be in bringing the film to life. The crew came together to set everything up the day before shooting, ensuring that each piece of gear was ready to go. ...

 The first day of filming finally arrived, and we were all buzzing with energy. We met early in the morning to set up the location, making sure everything was in place before the actors arrived. The first few hours were spent fine-tuning the equipment and doing test shots, checking angles, and making sure the lighting was perfect. Nathaniel was the first to step into character, getting into the right headspace for his racing scenes. The actors quickly got into the groove, and it was clear they were ready to give their best performances.

It took a few tries to get the timing right for some of the more intense driving shots, but the crew was on po...

Short film research: (The Neighbor/urban thriller)

 For our short film, we're exploring the urban thriller genre, and after watching The Neighbor (2017), I’ve gathered valuable insights that will influence our approach. The film uses tight shots and shaky camera movements to create a feeling of unease and to immerse the audience in the protagonist’s perspective. This is accompanied by a minimalistic soundtrack that features eerie ambient sounds, like footsteps or creaking doors, which amplify the tension as the protagonist’s paranoia grows. The mise-en-scène in The Neighbor uses dim lighting, with dark rooms and limited visibility, enhancing the sense of claustrophobia and danger. The setting itself—an isolated apartment complex—becomes almost as much of a character as the people in it. Editing is quick, especially during moments of suspense, with jump cuts that make the audience feel just as disoriented as the main character. What I enjoy most about the urban thriller genre, as demonstrated in The Neighbor , is how it uses the e...
