✨Sound- There’s both non-diagetic and diagetic throughout the short film. During the times that the characters showcase their “struggles” the audio goes from both diagetic and non-diagetic to just non- diagetic. This is because we want the audience to focus solely on the characters forms of expression and how this may contribute to their mental state. I extended the instrumental guitar audio throughout the short film because it’s used as a form of comfort to the characters and because the guitar reflects the characters inner hurt.

✨Lightning- there was only one edit made towards the lighting post film and that was towards the ending of the film where the title “drowning in silence” is displayed. Additionally i lowered the brightness to zero and put the contrasts to 40 to emphasize the dark state these characters are in. In andres’s scene the lightning naturally tends to be darker with a red hue. Red in film is often correlated to intense emotions such as danger while also symbolizing themes of warning which is what our end goal as producers is to do. We want to warn the audience about the dangers of substance abuse and how normalized it’s become for teens. Not to mention how easily accessible it is.
✨Editing- in terms of editing just as i mentioned above i added an extended clip of an instrumental guitar audio. I also added many pieces of texts throughout the film such as the opening credits and the title at the end of the short film. I chose the font “ReenieBeanie” for all the texts expect for the title. This font stood out to me because of its disorganized nature. I believe that it symbolizes how unorganized and unstructured the brain of those who experience these difficult mental struggles may be. As for the title i chose the font “plunet”. The lettering here appears longer and slimer almost as if the words it’s self are drowning. For my piece i added a camera focus affect for the high shot to display another p.o.v of me receiving the food. This draws the attention of the audience to the main idea of my scene which is food and the struggles my character has when eating it. Then during my floor shot the transitions are fast-paced to convey a sense of urgency to the situation at hand. Additionally when switching between people i would use the affect “fade in” and “fade out” to create a clean transition between the settings.
Now that you guys got a little overview of how the film will look, I hope it fills you with excitement as to what will come!
