The narrative for this preliminary task short film was built by me in three days. I wanted to create something which has an impact and which is something relatable for people of my age, mostly teenagers and students.

Equipment Used
The equipment used was a simple lav mic along with a sunset lamp and a sony a6400. A tv screen was used for diffused lighting
Learning Outcome Preliminary
This was a first taste of action in regards to practical shooting, editing and etc and this was a huge learning experience
I learned on how to work alone and juggle things due not being grouped with anyone. Moreover i got to further polish my direction, lighting and set design skills as prepping up the room for my short film was slightly complicated.
The thing which i learned the most about was lighting as managing lighting in a dark room in the night without it seeming un-natural was difficult, e.g i used the tv in the room to shine blue light on both the characters.
Moreover i used daVinci resolve for editing the video which helped me further hone my editing skills
