From idea to execution (and everything I learned)

If there’s one thing I realized during this process, it’s that I need to trust myself more.

From the very beginning, I wasn’t fully confident in my idea. I liked it, but I kept second guessing everything, the storyline, the shots, the actors, literally everything. Because of that, I kept pushing things off and leaving decisions until last minute instead of just committing to my vision.

Then after the first day of filming, I saw the clips and got really unmotivated. I started thinking like… "this is not what I imagined," and it kind of threw me off. I think that was a big turning point because instead of trusting the process, I started doubting it. I was super unmotivated and already had a lot of stuff going on so it was not a good time...

But as I kept filming, everything started to change.

The more footage I got, the more I realized that the idea actually worked. The shots started looking better, the scenes made more sense, and when I added sound and music, everything came together even more. That’s when I started feeling excited again.

I think I learned that filmmaking is not about everything being perfect right away. It’s about building it step by step. If I had trusted myself from the beginning, I probably wouldn’t have felt so stressed or unsure.

Now looking back, I see that my idea was always there, I just needed to actually believe in it and follow through and plan accordingly, like make a step by step plan.

So lesson learned: stop overthinking and just commit to the idea.

In the other hand, I thought making this film would just be about having a good idea and filming it. But it’s actually so much more than that. It’s about planning, problem solving, adapting, and making decisions constantly.

One of the biggest things I learned is how important it is to adapt when things don’t go as planned. For example, when the mics didn’t work on the first day, I had to figure out a way to still get usable audio. For this I just planned to use very subtle voice overs in areas that needed dialogue. When my location idea didn’t work, I had to quickly find another one. Even during editing, when I realized I was missing a scene, I had to adjust and plan to fix it later.

Another thing I improved on is paying attention to detail. Things like sound, lighting, and camera angles make a huge difference. At first, I didn’t think too deeply about those things, but as I kept working, I started noticing how much they affect the final product. Especially sound, adding the right background music and effects completely changed how my scenes felt.

I also learned how important it is to get multiple takes and options. On my first filming day, I kind of settled for what I had. But later on, I made sure to film scenes more than once so I could choose the best version. That made editing so much easier and gave me more control over the final result.

Another big thing was time management (which is still a work in progress). I realized that leaving things last minute creates unnecessary stress. Even though I was able to catch up, it would have been way less stressful if I had paced myself better from the start.

Overall, this project taught me that filmmaking is really about problem solving and creativity at the same time. Things are not going to go perfectly, but what matters is how you adjust and keep going.

Editing pt. 2

Editing this part of the film was actually sooo different from when I edited the first scenes.

Before, I was kind of working with limited clips and just trying to make something decent(with really bad energy). But this time, I had so many clips to choose from, which made everything feel way easier and more put together. I wasn’t forcing anything, I could actually pick the best takes and build the scenes how I wanted.

This time, I mainly focused on music and sound design, and I’m not even kidding, I spent like two hours on Pixabay just going through different sounds. I was literally playing around with everything, suspense sounds, background noise, little effects, just seeing what worked. I ended up stacking multiple sounds together, and it actually came out really good. It made everything feel way more intense and real.

The tumbling scenes in the woods were actually so funny to edit. Like watching them back was already funny, but adding sound made it even better. I added this kind of eerie, climax horror vibe, so even though the visuals are a little chaotic, the sound makes it feel intense instead of just messy. It sounds part of an Indiana Jones movie, soooo I basically made a thriller AND action movie!

Then for other scenes, like the phone call, I switched it up completely and used more soft, melancholy music. That contrast really helped set the mood and made the scene feel more emotional instead of just scary. It showed Ethan actually has emotions and is not a complete monster (you should start tearing up by this)

The only issue is that I realized I forgot to film one small scene, so there’s a part that looks a little awkward right now. But I’m honestly not stressing it because I already know I can fix it really easily. I’m planning to film the last part on Monday anyway, so I’ll just add that in and it’ll flow way better.

Also, the audio quality this time was actually so good. Like crisp, clear, no problems. That alone made editing so much easier because I didn’t have to try and fix bad sound or cover it up.

Overall, this edit came out exactly how I wanted. It feels more polished, more intentional, and way closer to an actual film instead of just clips put together.

And for once… editing didn’t make me want to lose my mind!!!

WE ARE SO BACK

 THE BLOG OF THE CENTURY, I FILMEDDDDD!!

After what feels like forever, I had another filming day and this time… it actually went REALLY well. Like I’m actually happy writing this.

I filmed basically everything important, I’d say like 89% actually no, more like 93% of the film is done now, which is kind of crazy to say. I got the scenes where he’s driving on the road, finds the shoe, the whole phone ringing in the woods scene (if you were there you would be as scared as we all were.. we only kept filming because we knew if anything came we would hit it with the tripod..), and even parts leading up to him going to confess. So this day was VERY productive.

And compared to day 1… this was a completely different experience.

The shots came out crisp, the audio was actually clear, and everything just felt more put together. I think I learned a lot from the first day because this time I was way more intentional with how I filmed. I didn’t rush anything, and I made sure to get multiple takes so I wouldn’t be stuck with something I didn’t like.

There is one small scene I didn’t get, but honestly I don’t even care that much because I made so much progress. Plus, I still have to film the house scenes anyway, so I can easily just get that missing part when I do those. I even made a list of everything I still need to film so I stay organized (look at me being responsible).

The woods scene was actually kind of funny to film. My actor suddenly turned into a parkour specialist, running through the trees, stumbling, falling, it was chaotic but in a good way. And I already know those clips are going to be really good when I edit them. I guesssss you can see:

I also made sure to focus on the clock shots, since that’s such an important part of my film. I really took my time with those because I already know once I add the background music and sound effects, those scenes are going to hit.

Another thing I did better this time was filming things more than once. Last time I kind of settled for “good enough,” but this time I kept going until I knew I had a solid take. That’s definitely going to help me a lot when I start editing. Speaking of editing… yeah… I’m probably going to start either tomorrow or the day after because the due date is getting a little TOO close for comfort. Like someone is definitely testing my time management right now and I don’t appreciate it.

But overall, this was a really successful day. I feel way more confident about my film now, and it finally feels like everything is coming together.

We are actually getting somewhere.

Why research pays off!

When I first started this project, I had ideas, but they were kind of all over the place. Doing research actually helped me turn those ideas into something more structured and intentional. It influenced not just my story, but also how I plan to use, and sometimes challenge, typical psychological thriller conventions.

From my genre research, I learned that psychological thrillers usually focus on internal conflict, tension, and the character’s mind rather than action. That’s something I directly applied to my film. Instead of making it fast paced or full of obvious scares, I planned my story to be more slow and tense, with moments that make the audience feel uncomfortable rather than shocked. Things like the ticking clock, silence, and small details are all inspired by that research.

I also looked at real media texts like short films, shows, and movies. From those, I noticed common conventions like:

- use of close-ups to show emotion

- low lighting and shadows to create mystery

- sound design to build tension

-  unreliable or unclear reality

I planed to use all of these in my film. For example, I’m already using close-ups of my main character to show his guilt, and I filmed a lot at night to create that darker tone. I’m also using sound (like the ticking clock and background music) to build suspense instead of relying on jump scares.

At the same time, my research also helped me see where I can challenge conventions.

For example, in many thrillers, there’s usually a clear answer at the end, like what’s real and what’s not. In my film, I don’t fully want to explain everything. I want the audience to question whether what’s happening is supernatural or just psychological. That lack of clarity is something I chose on purpose based on what I saw in other media.

Another way I challenge conventions is through my main character. Usually, thrillers make the audience clearly hate or fear the main character. In my case, I want the audience to feel a mix of emotions. Yes, he did something terrible, but I also want people to understand his guilt and internal struggle. That makes the story more complex instead of just "good vs bad." For instance in one scene he's crying to his partner and opening up about the accident with a lot of remorse.

AND YES I FINALLY FILMEDDDD - stay updated for tomorrow's blog to hear about it!

My research on social media and print components also influenced my project. I learned that film promotion should be consistent and visually connected, which is why I’m keeping the same dark, mysterious tone across my Instagram posts and my postcard. I also learned to balance visuals and information, so my promotional materials don’t feel too crowded or too empty.

So instead of just randomly making decisions, everything in my project is based on something I’ve seen, learned, and then adapted to fit my own idea.

Basically… I didn’t just wing it (for once).

Audience

When thinking about how my project engages with the audience, I realized it’s not just about telling a story, it’s about making the audience feel something and stay interested the whole time. Since my film is a psychological thriller, the main goal isn’t action or big dramatic moments, it’s creating tension, curiosity, and uneasiness.

One of the main ways my product engages the audience is through mystery and limited information. I don’t plan on explaining everything clearly. Instead, I want the audience to slowly figure things out as the story goes on. For example, the film introduces objects like the clock and the newspaper without fully explaining them right away. This makes the audience ask questions like "What does this mean?" or "Why is this happening?" which keeps them mentally involved instead of just passively watching.

Another way it engages the audience is through psychological tension. Instead of relying on jump scares or fast paced action, the film builds suspense through pacing and small details. Things like the ticking clock, quiet moments, or subtle background sounds create discomfort. This kind of tension makes the audience focus more because they feel like something is about to happen, even when nothing is.

The use of relatable emotions also plays a big role. Even though the situation in the film is extreme, the feeling of guilt is something most people understand. This allows the audience to connect with the main character on a deeper level. They might not agree with what he did, but they can understand the pressure and fear he feels, which makes the story more engaging.

My social media also helps engage the audience before they even watch the film. The posts are designed to be mysterious and intriguing, not revealing too much. For example, captions like “what would you do if you saw this” or simple teaser clips make people curious. This kind of content encourages the audience to interact, think, and want to see more. 

Another important part is sound. The background music and sound effects are used to guide how the audience feels in each moment. Subtle, suspenseful sounds can build tension without the audience even realizing it, which keeps them emotionally connected to the scene.

Instead of just showing a story, the goal is to make the audience experience it mentally and emotionally.

Brandingg

 When I think about branding for my project, I realized it’s not just one thing, it’s everything working together so the film and the social media feel like the same world. If one thing looks off, the whole vibe is ruined (and I refuse to let that happen).

The main way my production creates branding is through visual consistency. My film is a psychological thriller, so everything follows that darker, tense mood. The lighting is low, a lot of scenes are filmed at night, and there are shadows in most of the shots. Even the props, like the clock and the newspaper, are designed to look slightly aged and serious. This same aesthetic carries into my social media posts, where I use darker tones, simple compositions, and mysterious visuals. So whether someone is watching the film or scrolling through my Instagram, it all feels connected. Let's bring back my mood board and compare it to some !

                                      Mood board:                             Posts:

Shot:

Another important element is sound. During editing, I specifically chose background music and sound effects that feel suspenseful but not too dramatic. I didn’t want loud, obvious horror sounds, I wanted subtle tension. This same idea applies to my teaser posts and clips, where I use eerie audio to create curiosity. Sound is something people don’t always notice, but it plays a big role in building the overall identity of the project.

The story itself also contributes to branding. My film focuses on guilt and psychological pressure, and I made sure that theme is reflected in everything else. For example, my tagline "You have until it stops" is used across my postcard, social media, and film idea. It becomes something recognizable that represents the whole project. In other words a tagline..

Social media is probably where branding shows the most. All my posts follow a similar style:

- dark colors

- slightly mysterious captions

- content that doesn’t reveal everything

Even the types of posts I choose (teasers, behind-the-scenes, meet the cast) all support the same tone. I’m not posting anything random or out of place because that would break the consistency.

My print component (postcard) also connects to this. The front uses a cinematic image like the shoe or clock, something that really represents my film with the same dark tone as the rest of the other components, and the back is clean and organized. The fonts, layout, and tagline all match the rest of my project, so it doesn’t feel separate.

Overall, all the elements of my production, visuals, sound, social media, and print, work together to create one clear identity. Everything is built around the same idea.

Basically, if someone sees one part of my project, they should immediately recognize the rest. And if they don’t… then I did something wrong.

Hear me out!

Important Update! 

Hi friends... We are going to do something that is very wrong, I know... but I can not help it. It is very unlikely of me to leave filming till last minute, maybe editing for sure, but not something important like this. The reason I have not been able to film any more footage is due to some personal reasons of my own like I mentioned before and Kyle my main actor is on a trip right now. I'm not too stressed because I already edited the beginning part of it which is like 1/3 of my film and it was quick so I am not that worried. We finally settled to film on Tuesday of next week which I can still make work I promise. But for the meantime, I thought to just keep updating my insta, work on my postcard and start researching for my critical reflection, which is what I am going to do!

My plan is this week dedicate to do three in depth critical reflection question research posts and then finally next week do four blogs on the final research question, production process, editing, and start reflecting. 

I know I can work around this and it's going to be ok. 

So, the first question I am researching is:

 "How do your products represent social groups or issues?"

When thinking about my film, it might seem at first like it’s just a psychological thriller about a crime. But when I really break it down, it actually represents a bigger issue, how people deal with guilt, accountability, and the consequences of their actions. To do this I got inspiration from doing some research online I used websites like:

- Social Groups in the Thriller Genre

- Horror films: Reflections of society's deepest fears and cultural anxieties

 "With worries about mental illnesses, depression, social anxiety and lack of supports to help people through difficult times, internal anxieties manifest externally." - Jason Wallin

These helped a lot. 

My film focuses on a man who committed a hit-and-run and was never caught. On the surface, he looks like a normal person. He has a life, routines, and probably blends into society like anyone else. This is important because it represents a social idea that people who do bad things are not always obvious villains. Sometimes they are just regular people who made a terrible decision and chose to hide it ( Is it me or was that like poetic and sounds like Spencer Reid would say it in a Criminal Minds episode). 

This links to a real world issue: avoiding responsibility. This is something that can be as little as not wanting to do chores like doing the dishes or taking out the trash, to actually end up killing someone and not saying anything about it... In society, there are many situations where people do something wrong but don’t face consequences, either because they aren’t caught or because they choose to stay silent. My film explores what happens internally when someone carries that guilt instead of taking accountability.

Another key issue my film represents is mental and emotional struggle. The main character is not being chased by police or physically punished, instead, he is dealing with psychological pressure. The strange events happening around him (like the clock, the sounds, and the hallucination of the girl) can be interpreted as his mind reacting to years of suppressed guilt. This reflects how people can experience internal consequences even when there are no external ones.

In terms of social groups, my film represents:

- young adults/adults who are trying to maintain a normal life while dealing with past mistakes

- people who struggle with mental pressure, anxiety, or guilt 

- individuals who feel like they are being “watched” or judged by their own actions. 

The victim in the film, although not deeply explored, also represents a group that is often overlooked in media, victims of accidents or crimes whose stories are left incomplete. By including subtle elements like the shoe or the presence of the girl, the film reminds the audience that even if the main character moved on, the victim never got that chance. I actually got inspired by this due to Gaby's mom, if you forgot she is who is playing Emily. Her mom was telling me a story on how when they lived in their old house, strange things would happen (like a typical Conjuring movie but more realistic). She told me she went to get the house blessed and they found out after doing that an old man actually died in that house alone from a heart stroke. A spirit like Emily's is usually seen to be evil in movies trying to hurt the main character, but what I really wanted to do was highlight that fourth wall like I did last year between life and death. That tunnel that connects the both but these kind of people can't cross yet. I am sorry for yapping guys, but let's keep going!

Additionally, my film avoids making the story overly dramatic or unrealistic. Instead of showing extreme violence or action, it focuses on realistic emotional consequences, which makes the issue more relatable. The audience is not just watching a crime, they are experiencing the aftermath from the perspective of the person who caused it. The use of psychological elements also allows the audience to question what is real and what is not. This creates a connection between the viewer and the character, making them think about how they would react in a similar situation. 

Overall, my film represents the idea that you cannot escape what you have done, even if society never holds you accountable. It highlights internal conflict and the lasting impact of one decision. Instead of focusing on punishment from others, it shows how the mind itself can become the punishment. ONCE AGAIN I AM SPENCER REIDDD

A mom would love the theme of this story ngl, it’s a story about consequences that don’t go away. Also I don't know why but this was a very fun blog to do. 

Man holding face

help.

Instead of doing nothing because I havn't filmed, I decided to refresh my Instagram page and actually make it look alive.

I went back through all my footage and realized I actually had more content than I thought, so I decided to squeeze in some extra posts (don’t judge me).

First, I made a “Meet the Cast” post for Ethan and Emily. I kept it simple, just a picture of them and a short caption, but I made sure it wasn’t boring. I tried to keep it a little mysterious and added something like “stay tuned to see if there are more characters…” (there are not, but it sounds good so we’re going with it).

Then I posted a “First Day of Filming” type of post. I included little shots and clips from what I filmed so far so it actually felt real and not just like I’m saying I filmed something. I liked this one because it made my page feel more like an actual production instead of just random posts.

After that, I found this one clip I took that was actually kind of creepy, like unintentionally perfect for my film, so I just added some eerie music over it and posted it with the caption “what would you do if you saw this.” It was super simple but honestly one of my favorite posts because it fits the vibe of my film perfectly.

And lastly, I made a small teaser using the beginning of my film. Nothing too long, just enough to give a little glimpse without giving anything away. Can you guys tell i'm pulling stuff from my butt... I don't mean to it's just do to personal reasons I unfortunately havn't been able to accomplish much but I am trying my best to keep up! That's the spirit.

This was like the beginning of it so I am not showing this one to not spoil.

Overall, even though I couldn’t film, I feel like this was still productive because my page actually looks active now. Before it felt kind of empty, but now it has:

- cast introductions

- filming updates

- creepy content

- a teaser

Which is exactly what I was aiming for. It’s starting to feel like a real film page instead of me just figuring it out as I go… even though I am still kind of figuring it out as I go. Soooo thank you and until next time!

Looks like could kill you, is a cinnamon roll

 Guys.

This is a positive blog. We did it!!

I finally finished editing everything I’ve filmed so far, basically the whole beginning of the film,  and I’m not even gonna lie… it actually came out decent. Like it’s not perfect, it’s not Oscar winning, but it’s definitely not bad. And at this point, I’ll take that as a win. I don't want you guys to think i'm settling for what I have, because that is not the case, I actually like it, but it's not like the perfect quality or audio yk... 

There are moments that are kind of funny and a little cringy, but in a way I can actually work with. Like my actor looks genuinely scary in some shots, and then he starts talking and his voice is so soft it’s giving cinnamon roll (pls know what i'm referring to). The contrast is kind of killing me, but also it works? Like it makes the character feel more real instead of overly dramatic. And the music is even funnier because it's so overdramatic like look. 

Editing itself was actually way easier than I expected. I wanted to edit this quick to see how it would turn out overall so I edited it on Capcut, because if i didn't edit any earlier I would loose my mind. This was like to see how it would turn out, but later I am going to take it into Premiere Pro and edit like a real pro (funny joke).. I thought I was going to be struggling for hours trying to figure everything out, but it flowed pretty naturally. I started by organizing all my clips and picking the best takes (which I surprisingly had a lot of), and then I moved into adding background music and sound effects.

I used Pixabay to find music, and I was specifically looking for something with that thriller vibe, not too loud, but enough to build tension. Buttt of course I picked the audio that sounded like it belonged in the Home Alone movies. I also added small sound effects where needed, like subtle ambient sounds like leaves crunching or heartbeats, to make everything feel more immersive. Those little details actually made a huge difference and helped bring the scenes to life.

The pacing also ended up working out really well. What I’ve edited so far is about 1 minute and 30 seconds, which is honestly perfect because it means I’m making solid progress without rushing anything. I didn’t feel like I was forcing clips together, everything had a purpose, which made the editing process smoother.

And I think what made this feel even better is that I had options. I wasn’t stuck with one take or one angle. I had multiple clips to choose from, which gave me more control over how the final sequence looked. That made a big difference compared to how stressed I felt during filming.

But the BEST part of all of this is that now I actually have real content.

Before, I was kind of struggling with what to post on my Instagram page because I didn’t have enough material. Now I have actual footage, screenshots, and visuals from the film that I can start turning into posts. I can do things like:

- teaser clips

- behind-the-scenes footage

- aesthetic shots from the film

It finally feels like my social media page can actually reflect my project instead of me just guessing what to post.

Overall, finishing this editing made me feel a lot more confident. Like yes, there are things I might still tweak or improve, but I’m no longer in that “everything is falling apart” mindset. It’s actually starting to look like a real film.

i'm actually happy awwww

Gulp

 So… first day of filming is officially DONE.

Wait side note I think it's bad 99% of my blogs now have ... I promise I am not that negative!

Anywayssss, it actually went pretty well, but of course, nothing can ever go 100% smooth. We got to the location, got everything ready, set up the camera, and right when we were about to start… the mics were broken. Of course. Like actually of course. At that moment I was like okay great this is how we’re starting.

So obviouslyyy I had to improvise and figure out how to hide them and still make it work. I ended up placing them in ways that wouldn’t be visible on camera but could still (hopefully) pick up sound. It wasn’t ideal, but it was one of those moments where I had to just adapt and move on instead of wasting time. Did I test it? Yes. Did I make sure every scene worked well with the audio? Next question. 

For this first day, I decided to film the beginning of the film, the flashback of the crash. This is literally one of the most important parts of the whole story. No pressure tho!

And I’m gonna be honest… I don’t know how I feel about it. This post is very negative I'm sorry.

Kyle (my main actor) actually did really good. Like I was genuinely happy with his performance, especially in the scene where he’s arguing on the phone, that one came out good. BUT… my beautiful best friend Gaby… yeah… acting is not her calling  (I love her though). It just didn’t come out as natural as I wanted, and I think that’s part of what’s making me second guess the scene.

Let's take a looky look!

Not the best party girl..

Also the lighting was kind of weird, and I can’t tell if I’m overthinking it or if it actually looks off. I feel like last year my film worked so well because I didn’t rely on other people as much, and now I am, so it’s kind of stressing me out because I can’t control everything the same way.

BUT I’m trying not to panic. I’m just going to edit the footage first and see how it looks, because sometimes things look way better once it’s all put together. And the good thing is I still have time, so if I really hate it… I can re-film.

Now for the good parts, because there WERE good parts. And to try to be a little more positive!

Trust the process, cause I certainly am trying too!

The crash scene actually came out good, I just need to edit the end and add sound. Like I was scared it was going to look fake, but it ended up being really convincing. Kyle literally did a break check that almost gave me a heart attack, I genuinely thought he was going to mess up my car for a second. But it worked perfectly for the scene, so I can’t even be mad.

'

Filming itself was actually really fun, but it was SO cold. Like painfully cold. I get cold super easily, so I was freezing the entire time. And Gaby was in a dress… so honestly I feel worse for her because that must have been brutal.

Overall though, I would say it was a successful first day. Not perfect, definitely some things I’m unsure about, but we got important scenes done, I learned what I need to fix, and now I know what to improve for the next filming days.

So yeah… slight stress, slight doubt, but also excited to see how it turns out once I start editing. I plan on doing this as soon as possible just in case it doesn't go my way.

I promise guys next blog I am going to be like this: 

Becoming an influencer is harder than I thought

Starting my social media page was honestly harder than I expected. If I havn't made it clear, I’m really picky with how I like things to look, not just with school but overall a lot of things, especially when it comes to my projects. So I didn’t want to just throw something up and call it a day. I wanted the first post to actually feel intentional and match the vibe of my film, which made it kind of stressful to even start.

At first, I knew I wanted to do some type of "coming soon" post, because that just makes sense as a first introduction. But then I got stuck on what it should actually look like. My first idea was doing a picture from the POV of a driver looking at the road, like headlights hitting the street. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it felt kind of basic and not really memorable. Then I thought about using the clock, since it’s such an important part of my story. But realistically… I was not about to give this clock a full photoshoot just for one Instagram post. That was not happening. So then I thought of something way better, a heel in the middle of the road. Just think about it.. It connects to the story, it’s simple, and it’s actually kind of creepy without showing too much. It gives just enough information to make people curious.

I ended up designing the post on Canva, but the only thing I was a little unsure about was that the heel I used was an element from Canva, not a real shoe. I didn’t know if that would be okay, so I asked Mrs. Stoklosa, and she said it was fine, so that worked out perfectly.

Here is my reveal

Go follow me now pls

For my second post, I decided to keep it simple and do a “Meet the Director” post. I haven’t filmed anything major yet, so I didn’t have a lot of actual footage to use, and this felt like an easy way to still build the page and introduce myself as the creator behind the film (doing filler posts but shhhhh who's paying attention). I found a nice picture of me and just typed a little summary of the film and something for people to go wow she's so cool and like I'm going to follow and watch this as soon it comes. Another reveal:

Looking ahead, I’m planning to do posts like:

- Meet the cast

- Behind-the-scenes content

- Small clips from filming once I have more footage

- And cool highlights like that one page I mentioned

Right now, I’m just trying to build the page step by step while keeping everything consistent with the tone of my film. This process made me realize that social media for film isn’t just posting random pictures, it actually takes planning. Every post has to connect to the story and the overall aesthetic, which is lowkey stressful… but also kind of fun once you figure it out. Don't expect another update on my social media soon...
