Critical Reflection

  How do your products represent social groups or issues? Typically, in thriller movies women always play the helpless, weak, victim. It places women in a role to be saved by the big strong male figure. It has produced a dangerous stereotype in society where women are seen as being dependent on men. For a lot of history, that is how society worked.  In the thriller genre specifically, films continue to misrepresent women. If the film industry continues to place harmful stereotypes, we only continue to perpetuate harm onto the future generations of women. That is why films like Maneater are so crucial. We hope that our message ripples into the rest of the industry so that we will see powerful female leads. In our products we reversed the roles and represented gender inequality throughout film, society, and general perception. Both the female and male lead roles are both assassins.This puts them both at an even playing field. Nelly is given a powerful position. A position that normally

As we delved into editing our latest movie, we quickly discovered the unique blend of challenges and joys that come with shaping raw footage into a polished masterpiece. From sorting through hours of footage to perfecting each frame, the editing room became our creative playground, where every decision carried the weight of shaping the final product.

Lights, Camera, Action

Lights, camera, laughter – these three words perfectly encapsulate the rollercoaster ride that was filming our latest movie. From unexpected bloopers to on-set pranks, every moment was a testament to the power of comedy both on and off-screen. The cast and crew quickly became a tight-knit family, bonding over shared jokes and unforgettable mishaps. One particularly memorable scene involved a runaway prop that had everyone in stitches as we attempted to corral it back into place. Our director, known for his quirky sense of humor, kept morale high with his endless supply of dad jokes and impromptu dance parties between takes. It's safe to say there was never a dull moment on set. Even the most seasoned actors couldn't escape the hilarity, with improvised lines often leading to fits of laughter that had to be edited out in post-production. But hey, that's all part of the magic of filmmaking, right? One scene, in particular, required our lead actress to deliver her lines while

However, despite its importance, crafting an effective advertising strategy can often feel like navigating through a maze with no clear path in sight.

The process of brainstorming advertising concepts can be both exhilarating and daunting. We grapple with questions of tone, messaging, and medium, unsure of which direction to take.

The excitement was palpable as we envisioned bringing our creative vision to life on screen. However, just as everything seemed to fall into place, I was hit with the crushing realization that I wouldn't be able to attend the filming day due to unforeseen circumstances. The disappointment was palpable, knowing that I wouldn't be physically present to contribute to the filming process. Despite this setback, I remained determined to fulfill my role in the project.
