Pitch & Process
The project was shot on a Sony FS7, which I paired with a fully lit and equipped studio space I booked out for the indoor sequences, having recced all street locations beforehand to plan blocking, lighting conditions and permissions in advance
To shoot efficiently, I structured production across two separate days split by setting, filming all indoor, isolated garment-destruction scenes in one block and all outdoor street sequences in a second, meaning the model only needed to be available for one continuous day rather than multiple days
In post-production, I edited and colour graded in DaVinci Resolve and handled all sound design and audio mixing in Adobe Audition using audio from the footage as well as royalty free sound effects to keep the budget as low as possible, tying the fractured visual structure together with a thoughtful audio layer. The project was ultimately awarded a First, in line with the brief's requirements for full creative ownership and original execution
