Production: The Live

In the film, we wanted to utilize the fact that we all heavily technology and social media in our day to day lives. During the conflict of the 3 mean girls and Dariah, we wanted a bystander (student) to come in, "filming" the whole interaction on Instagram. Towards the end of our opening scene, we wanted to the last seconds to be viewed through the perspective of an Instagram live. Achieving that without opening an actual public Instagram live was very simple. In this generation, there is ai for everything, so it was very easy to find a app that create fake social media lives with ai generated comments and viewers to make it seem as realistic as possible. I used Parallel Live: Fake live and it was very easy to use for our film. Taking advantage of technology for our film had to be one of the most effective methods for us.

As you can see, it worked perfectly.
