Reflecting on production skills

 Making Game Over taught me a lot about how technical skills and creative choices work together to build suspense. Some key production elements were:

Camera work: Close-ups on Lucy and the laptop really helped show her fear, and tracking shots following her around added tension as she explored the apartment.

Lighting: Low-key lighting and shadows made the space feel eerie, and flickering lights during certain moments gave a jumpy, tense effect.

Sound: I added background hums, distorted whispers, and glitchy laptop noises in post-production, and they really amplified the creepiness.

There were definitely challenges, though. Keeping consistent lighting in such a small space was tricky, and sometimes it was hard to capture natural reactions. Editing helped fix timing issues with sound and light, which made the final result feel more polished.

Combining camera, lighting, and sound ended up creating a believable horror atmosphere, and I learned a lot about how production techniques can affect how the audience feels.
