Title:

True friend or Fake friend

Summary of my work: 

True friend or Fake Friend is a micro budget film, the duration of the film is no longer than 5 minutes. It talks about the main character (Emily) best friend (Selena) without place to live, so the main character (Emily) allow her best friend (Selena) lives at her apartment. But Selena doesn’t do anything when she lives in Emily apartment. Once on the argument, Selena says Emily is a fake friend because Emily doesn’t help her. But Emily thinks Selena is her true friend, so she allows Selena to stay. However, Emily is so tired of Selena’s behavior that she finally get Selena out of the apartment. 

Process

During the shooting process, all of the equipment is by myself, I didn’t spend any money on the film. Also, I didn’t rent equipment from my school or friends, although they can provide the free equipment for me. All the scenes were shot by my friend (the second character) and me, we used the tripod to finished all the shooting. We also used lighting to enhance the actress’ looks during filming. 

What you got out of it

I single-handedly created this movie from the script to the final broadcast. In this process, I learned how to write the script and what needs attention in the script, such as the name should be capitalized when it first appears. And then is using the low budget to finish the production, for example, I can use my apartment to film, so that I can save the money of hire other place. Also, I can use my own phone or own camera to finish all the footage. Finally, in the process of editing, I learned a lot of editing skills. For example, what kind of editing method can make the film look smoother.
