Post production

 Looking back on this project, I’ve learned so much not just about filmmaking, but about storytelling in general. One of the biggest things I took away was how powerful visual storytelling can be. Instead of relying on dialogue or exposition, I focused on using lighting, framing, and small details to hint at the protagonist’s past. I wanted the audience to piece things together rather than be told everything outright, and I think that made the story more engaging.

I also got a lot better at planning and editing. Going into this, I knew the basics, but actually bringing my ideas to life took a lot of trial and error. Working with iMovie, I had to be really intentional with my cuts and pacing to keep the tone consistent. I also experimented with different shots to build suspense and make the film feel immersive.

Beyond the technical side, this project really made me think about how film can represent real-life issues. My story focuses on the fear and isolation abuse survivors often feel when trying to speak out, and I wanted to portray that in a way that felt honest and emotional. I didn’t want to sensationalize trauma, but instead, show the lasting impact it has on someone’s life.
