“Locked in” the middle with you

Above is a video I made detailing a day on set behind the scenes. It also includes brief sections where in I describe my thought process throughout that day of filming.

The final product for this movie is something I look at with both pride and contempt. However I am not here to rant about the production and by feelings but to look at it as a piece of art. So that is what I’m going to do. The question for this project was how does horror reflect and comment on our society. Well the movie has an interesting way of going about it in its final form. As someone who worked on the script I know the meaning behind everything and why scenes are the way they are. I have to put that aside and look at it as someone who hasn’t read the script. When I look at it like that I can’t help but feel like the message isn’t really there as strongly as it should be. The whole technology aspect is incredibly underplayed and its hard to see the point of the film. The message is diluted.

As a piece of art the film actually has a few very creative parts especially the strangling and head smashing death scenes. The acting was good and the camera shots were well done. The production value was actually fairly high. I am extremely proud of everything did on this movie. Just the amount of devotion, time and passion still amazes me from the same group of people who made MacBeth last year. As a script writer I put in a lot of work in this project, some of that was included some wasn’t but I won’t go deep into that here. When I watched the movie in its final form sure I saw things that could be improved on with time but what I saw most was pure passion.

However my overall opinion and voice come in my 10+ minute video above.
