"Mess" was a student short film I worked on with my fellow class mates Andrew Goode, Jack Mansour, Yuhan Liang & Haiyin Li in a film making class in the second year of my degree. I took on the roles of Production Manager and Editor for the project and was in charge of making a  production schedule for the two day shoot, keeping the production on track during filming as well as communicating to my crew members and our two cast members when we were breaking for lunch or changing sets/shots.                                                                                

My other responsibilities were to ensure that we got through all the shots we needed, as well as allocated time for experimenting with shots or dialogue so that we had more to work with in the edit. When I edited the film, the intention was to make the relationship between Michael and Sam open ended so that the audience could decide and wonder if they were friends, lovers, brothers or any other relation. I edited this film on Adobe Premiere Pro for both video and sound editing and decided on minimal diegetic and non diegetic sound in order to build tension between the characters as well as an underlying sadness that they were parting ways.
