Cinestudy has remastered one of our first EDIT THIS projects, a scene in a Restaurant
https://cinestudy.org/2019/01/28/restaurant-scene/
For those new to Cinestudy, we're providing you all with all the raw unedited footage from a scene and you can practice editing. You get the screenplay, video and audio and you can put this together and even post it online as long as you use our credits onscreen or in the description and use the hashtags #sonnyboo and #cinestudy
I am learning a lot editing these webinar videos. Not just about editing but also by thinking about the things being talked about.

As a storyteller, I was always fascinated by Gothic literature, movies. So I decided to explore that side with my episode, Blood Moon curse. Main challenge was how to create something fresh without repeating old cliches. I created a set with candles, Paintings, show little antique things to show ancient side, low lighting, used creative editing with some useful vfx, various dark colours in editing and shoot, used smoke to create mystery. And most important is actors need to do intense acting to portray that dark side of a person. Then I tried to weave good storytelling to create a fresh new story out of my mind and two characters- Akira and James -Fire and ice, the yin and yang that chase each other for 10000 years due to a bloodmoon curse! All these years I have understood that one should develop one's storytelling without bothering too much about money or resources and use whatever you have the best and slowly resources will start coming towards you as you prove yourself better and better by hardwork!
🖤 Inspired by Gothic classics like The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, and Dracula by Bram Stoker, I attempted a fresh take on Gothic storytelling, creating an entirely original story of my own.
Mystery, terror, romance, the supernatural, and psychological dread unfold against haunting atmospheres reminiscent of decaying castles, moody mansions, and isolated landscapes.
Written, produced and directed by Swati Panda.
