Synopsis: Finding a mysterious disk labeled “Play Me” in her mailbox, Sarah trusts her gut and throws it away. She’s seen enough movies to know that wouldn’t end well.
Description of Media:
I shot original footage for No Thanks on an iPhone 15. The text messages were created by using the built-in Screen Recording feature on IOS. For the creepy visuals, I used an excerpt from a previous project, Annunciation.
My partner Sarah performed the role of the main character and I provided additional dialogue for the phone call scene. I recorded iPhone texting, camera shutter, and Facetime sound effects using Voice Memos and the built in iPhone microphone. Audio from the iPhone footage was also used.
Additional background ambiance by richwise and the vibraphone ringtone by xkeril were downloaded from Freesound.org. Music by Jorgemariozuleta and Septahelix was downloaded from ccMixter.
Software Used:
All video and audio was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
