 The rule of thirds is a composition guideline that places your subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open.

Our cast We did audition for the character roles yet ended up chosing ourselves for acting each character

  Inspirations : 1) For our graveyard or cemetery shots , we took inspiration from The Nun released in 2018. It also surrounds the christian graveyard scenes and it's concept representing death. 2)  The bloody knife shot we took the idea from the movie of John Wick 2019 where they included scenes of throwing knifes so we included that in our short film but just for 5 sec to represent violence  3) For the fuel , burning the body and lighter shots we took inspiration from The Halloween 2018 that includes scenes of burning Micheal Myers in the basement which was gathered with fuel around the room, also gas. It's also a type of pyschological thriller movie , Micheal Myers killing people mercilessly which is also an idea linking with our story

 This is for our film opening which consisted of drawing handing us that overview of the scenes

We are two people working together on planning shooting and editing our film opening.  Together we shot and made the script together, the costumes, setting the scene ,cinematography, editing. Naila Raja: Rameen Fatima:
