Entry Description

A man regrets killing himself. Now Death offers him bargain-- redemption--if he kills someone else

Judge 1

Positives: Everything flowed really nicely from the timing of the edits to the shot selections and narrators voice. Easy to understand. Great job creating a dramatic trailer that leaves the viewer wondering what will happen next. Technically there were some really well composed shots.

Improvements: The shots of the missing people and the destroyed car didn't seem to fit and were a bit jarring.

Judge 2

Positives: Well written, acted and directed. Great use of sound to convey the tone as well as the story.

Improvements: More of a connection between the visual and VO over the running scene towards the end. The stock footage seemed out of place only because of it's place in the edit.

Judge 3

Positives: Very unique story idea and did a great job conveying both the tone and plot. Great use of dramatic shots and lighting, and could hear the speaker very clearly.

Improvements: Some of the scenes of the character running could be cut out. Felt a little overdone.
