• 4/28 3:04 am - I am particularly impressed with your use of setting in this piece. The character's movement through the house, especially in darkness, creates suspense! How might you added more complexity to the narrative? Could you play more with your audience's expectations? Could you do more to build tension as the story progresses? Similarly, what could you have done to provided more character development? Do we see your protagonist changing/evolving as he encounters obstacles while at home "alone?"
• 3/7 9:05 am - Good music. Creaky stairs/floor adds to the suspense.
• 3/4 2:06 pm - Good framing, and some good lighting effects. Great use of music. The pacing here is pretty slow, and the payoff at the end, while well executed, does not really justify the rest of the video. Maybe more events could occur, or the video could be shorter with faster editing.
