📸 Production Process
managed the entire process independently, from concept development to filming and post-production.
Footage was recorded using a Redmi Note 9 smartphone(Rear Camera: 48 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), PDAF,1080p@30fps)
I did not use manual camera settings or additional lighting
The footage was captured in the late afternoon, taking advantage of the naturally dimming light to create an eerie, low-light atmosphere
🎞️ Editing & VFX Approach
Cut-to-cut editing to build suspense
Color correction & grading to push the footage into a cinematic horror look
Motion tracking & VFX were used to turn a regular location into something unsettling and haunting
All visual elements (textures, overlays, titles) were prepared in Adobe Photoshop and animated in After Effects
🧠 Responsibilities

Designed additional visual assets using Adobe Photoshop
🎯 Outcome
This intro scene captures a haunting and cinematic horror vibe using only basic tools and natural lighting. Despite its minimal setup, the post-production process effectively transformed the visuals into something atmospheric and intense.
