Music creates meaning and adds dramatic effects to my scenes. I chose a few so-called underground electronic songs to convey a party in a non-conventional way, not a crazy frat party full of drinks and stereotypical collage students, but place where Alexis can feel as though she is free; free from society and free from herself. Click the button and find out what mood they give you. After creating my video and editing it, I decided upon of the songs from my playlist that works the best, after many times listening all the songs. Its muttered screams and harsh electronic tones work perfectly with the atmosphere I wanted to give at the beginning. Afterwards, no music was used in order to focus the viewer's attention on the relationship between the two characters and get to understand Alexis as well as possible in those two minutes. At first I thought of using parts of the song in the short snippets where she hallucinates the blonde girl, but then I believed adding the tv static and parts of her narration at the beginning would make a lot more sense, as this is the 'entity', the devil she is talking out, haunting her. This way it adds more sense to the story and clears up some possible plot holes that the audience might have felt. As for the dialogue, I didn't record their voices while filming and only after I realized that the sound recorded on my camera wasn't good at all, so I asked my actors to say their lines again, this time recorded on my iPhone 7. What was a little hard was matching the visual with the post-recorded sound and getting rid of the echo, but I managed and I learnt to be patient with my work.
