  • 4/26 6:58 am - I felt like I had more questions than I did answers. I know it was a dream but I was curious about who the characters were/represent. Why were there clothes strewn in the hall when the chase was going on, why was no one else wearing shoes, and why did the vicitim suddenly have flip flops on when he got out of the school. I understand you were trying to build suspense but after a while I just wanted something to happen, Not bad, I love the way some of your shots were framed, I saw some real thought put into how you wanted to use your camera to help tell the story, I guess I just wanted more of a story.
  • 4/25 9:18 pm - I think having it in black and white worked visually, and made the black-suited men seem scarier. I also thought it was a good choice with the frame rate changes. Not a lot of dialogue, which was perfect. The dialogue at the end was a little low and could have been louder.
