Abstract
My thesis film, "Alive", is a 30-minute short action fiction film. It's about a former police sketch artist who got engaged to his girlfriend just before they were involved in a sudden auto accident. During his search for the driver, the police artist discovers that the accident was actually a deliberate act. The film deals with is the issues of forgiveness and guilt.
The film was shot with a Canon C300 and a Steadicam, sound-mixed with 5.1 surrounding stereo sound technology.
In this essay, I will describe my experience with the entire process, from production at the very beginning, when I got the initial idea of this film, to the end, when I processed what I learned from the premiere screening.
