This video covers the entire journey of the project while analytically discussing - in detail - the key cinematic choices made in 'A Better Man', a short film I made for my VCE Media 3&4 SAT in 2023 (https://youtu.be/OhPNPSrM0_Q). From camera and editing decisions to acting and sound design choices, this commentary dives into all aspects of the filmmaking process while also touching on my next project. I have tried my best to structure it into concrete chapters to make it easier to follow. Enjoy!

MY WEBSITE: https://thesciencewhizz.wixsite.com/channel ~ Made for VCE Media ~ Set in a world where a paranormal game has started plaguing the hearts and minds of numerous men and boys, Riven Sharrock (Himalaya Joshi) receives an invitation to play... and his best friend, Crystal Salter (Abbey Stizza), isn't spared either. What ensues? What is lost, what is... gained? And will it turn Riven into a better man? Watch to discover for yourself! Feel free to indulge in multiple viewings, as the film is designed as a puzzle to be unfolded over many sessions. Carrying on from 'The End', this project was - again - an indescribably huge step-up in terms of absolutely everything. Never have I worked with a cast of this size, and of this skill. Never have I had a team of composers lend their talent. Never have I made a narrative film mostly consisting of near-100% CGI shots. And never have I tackled themes of such timely importance. I am hugely grateful for you all and will most certainly always be!

The Twisted Sands of Time will be getting a sequel on July 30 this year, coinciding exactly with the birthday of a filmmaker who is the reason I even started making films in the first place… and what better tribute to give to Christopher Nolan than a film about time? Stay tuned! For those who are new to the channel, The Twisted Sands of Time is this crazy little film I made two years ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI1LS1MfWkE) and people wanted a sequel and so did I. So… here we are! 🎥 ⏳

MY WEBSITE: https://thesciencewhizz.wixsite.com/channel SOUNDTRACK FOR THIS FILM: https://on.soundcloud.com/EbrKT When 16-year-old Hrithik Ghosh goes on a walk to try relieving some of the tumult in his mind but only ends up adding to it in a way he never thought he could (or did he?)... where does he end up? In a subjective, avant-garde exploration of clinical anxiety from a teenager's point-of-view, 'The End' is a short psychological film that strives not to make a point... ...but only to convey a reality. Watch the film to discover the reality for yourself. This film was a huge step-up for me in terms of almost everything, and the aspect of the production I definitely enjoyed the most was the collaboration - with Tameem, the most brilliant musician I have ever met; with Amber, who knows how to slip meaning into every detail of any costume (or anything really); with Miss Polly Siamatras, who broadened my horizons beyond infinity as my Year 11 Media Teacher; with my parents, whose support always remains unwavering in any situation, and with all my friends - who have always been there for me so truly unconditionally. I am hugely grateful for you all and will most certainly always be!
