The work about script. After the last presentation

about my graduation film, I spent a lot of time to revise the script. I restart to think about the feasibility of this script. And adjust some part of the story, make it more reasonable.

Talk and discuss with performer

The cross is a short film. And in this film there are only 3 performers, two males and one female.

Base on all the script is in Chinese, and work with Chinese for a film will be easy for me. So I choose all the performers are Chinese students.
