The sudden death of the 18-year-old son plunged the family's life into a vortex that seemed normal but is actually depressing. According to Buddhist beliefs, the spirit of the deceased returns home on the seventh day to meet his family for the last time. Therefore, on the seventh day after the son's death, the parents prepare their family's last "reunion dinner" with love and regret for their son.

As the director and scriptwriter of this short film, I manage to apply and practice my research topic "cultural semiotics" in the production. Throughout the pre-production to post-production, I take charge of the script development, determine the visual style of the film, and assist in overseeing the editing process. The overall filming experience is both exciting and enjoyable, despite unexpected occurrences during the stage of planning and shooting. Fortunately, we are still able to complete the film as intended. Collaborating with my teammates, although not perfect, we are able to support each other and fulfil our respective roles. In conclusion, there is still room for improvement in the quality of the final work, but I have gained new knowledge and enhanced my problem-solving skills through this experience.

As the film editor for this short film, I provided a small contribution in pre-production and completed the editing process in post-production. It was obvious to me that a film editor could be involved in pre-production. Although it can add to the workload of the film editor, being involved in pre-production makes the post-production part of the editing process more effective. In this short film, I learnt some untried editing methods, colour grading and post-production sound production. Then, I tried to apply the ideas mentioned in my research paper to the production team. I would like to thank the director for giving me the opportunity to be exposed to film editing and for the guidance and encouragement I received while executing post-production. I would also like to thank all the members of the team for their patience and coaching to enable me to complete the editing process in the limited time available. This is what has led to the presentation of this short film as a finished product. Lastly, I have seen my shortcomings and gained a lot of experience on this film editing task, which has also enhanced my interest and ability in film editing.
