- 4/30 4:10 pm - Great concept. I enjoyed the style of this film. I feel like this got a little too silly at points and I got lost with where to story was going. Sometimes it's best to keep it simple.
- 4/28 11:54 am - Funny concept and good idea to do it in a mockumentary format. Nice pacing in the edits. Acting performances were good, and probably funnier if you knew these teachers who were playing students. There's some really clever writing and some so-so improv - with some practice you can learn to how to balance those two elements a bit more effectively. Overall well done.
- 4/27 3:14 pm - You have a good idea for a story. And the mocumentary feel of it - which is what would have worked really well. I have a few suggestions: the shots where you used a camera on a tripod are better than the hand-held shots simply because the shakiness is too pronounced and distracting. Pay attention to screen direction rules - when the "Principal" introduces the new student, the entrances and exits are a little confusing. The actors are doing a really good job for you. I think the idea works.
