- 3/16 7:44 pm - Love the opening shot, I always appreciate a fresh perspective it is a great way to pull your audience in. I know your subject was surprised after she opening the microwave door, but she should have looked surprised when she got up from the couch. I would have liked some more reaction shots from the girl with each note because I didn’t fully know what she should be feeling – fear, anger, denial. These close-up shots then also help your audience know what they should be feeling as well – it will help build the suspense. After watching I am not totally sure what would happen next if it is death for the young lady her acting (fear) isn’t showing it. So as a result, it kind ends abruptly. Music was good and fitting, Keep at it, because there were definitely some cool parts to it.
- 3/10 10:57 am - Positives: Music bed helps to create suspense in the story; some interesting camera angles were used. Areas for improvement: Great camera angle to open the story, but the focus is on a strip of rug slightly in front of the feet, which makes the opening weaker. Story falls a bit short of creating the suspense/drama as the notes increase; including more close-ups of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th note, as well as the empty microwave may have helped in that area. Be sure to list music source to confirm confirm copyright-free or license.
- 3/9 7:35 pm - phone call awkward; ends abruptly; felt more like a movie trailer; music didn't feel like it fit; good shots/good sounds; could have been darker to match vibe; cool plot though
