Research 13

Hey Blog!

So as we finish up the preparation stage and begin the shooting stage this week, I want to clarify a few things. I want to touch up on the ending of the film and clarify what will be going on.

As our veteran comes out of his flashback, we want to show a scene of shock and terror. This scene would be representative of the symptoms of PTSD. After much research on PTSD, We have learned the symptoms and effects and have decided how we will demonstrate this in our character. Our character will wake up frightened, covered in sweat. He will be yelling and crying . This scene will utilize many close-up shots to emphasize the emotion within the character and impact the audience.

This scene will also use low-key lighting to create a dark, sad ambiance. All the factors in this scene will contribute to creating a serious, and mournful representation of what veterans go through.
