Creating the Fake Account


Before filming our opening scene, where the stalker scrolls through Eva's social media, we had to create a fake social media account. Our editor took the lead on this and designed the account prior to filming. He took photos from our actresses actual Instagram, and added things that would relate to our character. The most important detail was changing the username, as the actress's real name isn't Eva. 

This is where we set up the stalking scene. The Instagram is displayed on the right screen and for the left screen, we picked a random house on Zillow to pretend like the stalker had found Eva's house. 

Additional Issue 

This scene was the only one we needed the stalker for on day one of filming, but at last minute, the actor scheduled to play the stalker couldn't make it. We were left with two options: either add an additional day of filming for just one scene or find a substitute for the stalker. Since the character's identity is hidden, we figured using a different actor wouldn't be noticeable. The only potential issue is the fact that the two actors have different skin tones, and the stalker's hand is visible in this scene. To address this, we plan to adjust the brightness in post-production to make the difference less noticeable.
