Between the Text

By Rachel Kelly & Lauren Kiel

In this short film, Adelaide is faced with Amelia and Charlotte who both want Adelaide to help them with their problems.

Process

My mentor and I spent a lot of time brainstorming what the conflict could be and how we could introduce new characters, perfecting the script. Then I started filming my own parts, and set up Zoom calls to record my friends. There was some difficulty with lighting because I wanted to use dramatic lighting in this film to represent the emotions. Then I took the footage and started editing and putting special effects. The trickiest part was putting together the scene with Amelia and Charlotte talking to Adelaide in her dream because I had to configure the three scenes together. After putting the film together I used Procreate and Ibis Paint to make credits. I used Ibis Paint to draw the portraits of my friends (solely because I had not gotten Procreate yet) and used Procreate to animate the credits.
