YOU ARE BETTER THAN YOU THINK

Synopsis. The Girl makes a controversial post which gathers a lot of hateful replies and negative reactions. As a result, she is being assaulted by several anonymous users. The haters begin making negative comments to her resent post. She feels vulnerable and tries to report these accounts. Which doesn’t help her as the haters didn’t directly threat her life. 
 The next day the situation escalates: the haters invade her private life by making photos of her daily routine and distributing them in the network. The Girl feels that such attention can negatively affect her private life, social status and career. She decides to move on, orders the print of the controversial post with several top hateful reactions and comments. After the order is complete she makes a selfie wearing the top and shares it in all social networks.
As a result, she receives much support it the Internet and the haters begin losing interest in assaulting her. She still receives some negative reactions from time to time but know she cares less about it.

BLOG. My current project

Preproduction. Concept idea.
We all live in a weird time. We get a lot of hate vibes from social media platforms. Any photo or text could provoke negative reactions. For my film I decided to tell a story about non-binary person. My character is telling a story about herself. How she protects herself and faces difficulties.

Storyboard. I have done my storyboard. This is my visual plan.
I want to have information how my film will be looking.
Casting. I found my  actress. She is is delightful.
Her name is Kat Clinch. She has a really experience with this subject. She is non binary person so will have an understanding of the character

Production.
I asked my character if I could stick to her for a week. I wanted to capture her daily routine, details of her social behavior and interactions. I had a plan and a storyboard, but looking for new images I also found new people, new  places and new communities. I tried to capture all this and lace into my story.

Good day to shoot! I used my light tubes for lighting.
I used 3 tube light to create a disco atmosphere. 
​Very happy with the effects
Last day we did improvisation in the street. Kat was really good. We had a great connection. I felt I am learning how to improve my connection skills with actor.
