DARKNESS OF HELL The Scarriest MOVIE EVER!

Did you intend for the living room to be poorly lit? The kitchen and autopsy room were decently lit, but the living room had no lighting at all.
 
fun film. I liked the morgue scene at the beginning visually. The sound in the living room needed work as well as the lighting. The acting of the the killer was good. The kid on the phone needed a little work but it actually made the scene kind of amusing. Nice effort, keep at it.
 
Hey Movie Master,

I'm not 100% sure what happened here.The mask was scary but I guess I could get into the film because I was to busy. trying to figure out what was going on.

The doctor/morgue scenes looked good. The low resolution video would very creepy for that and I actually got a sense of House of 1000 Corpses for a split second.

Laters,
Ando

My sound sucks and that did not help since your project seemed to have some sound issues. I hate that I cannot give a decent comment but I could not hear 90% with my sound cranked full volume.

I do agree with the other guy...living room scene was so dark yet the autopsy was fine. Were you trying to give it a darker look?

Was the ghoul a face mask of sorts and make up or just makeup? It was cool to see the face motion with the line even if I could not hear it. So often a full mask is used and the lack of facial motions bugs me...
 
THE GATES HAVE BEEN OPEN AND I AM AWAITING THAT LAST MOMMENT
I HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYED THE FLICK, I KNOW THEIR ARE MANY ELEMANTS TO IMPROVE ON. BUT I AM READY TO FILM DAM IT. IT WAS A GOOD RUN AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN SOON SHOOT A FULL FEATURE!!!!! 666
 
may you be a prophet!! and may your words be set in stone!
It has been an awsome ride, so much talent it will be tough. I enjoyed the flicks keep up the good work. Hopefully we can scratch a place in some category tonight!!
 
MM, I don't know what to say. It is clear that you enjoy making films and I hope that you keep at it. But I also hope that you one day find a way to bring some quality into your films. I don't mean this to be harsh but certainly you must recognize that your films are poorly lit and have bad sound. You really need to bring in a fellow filmmaker who can expose you to a few techniques.

Please don't brush off what I am saying. I am trying to be sincere.

You can do so much more with household lighting if you have to. Just taking an unused lamp from another room and using it to accent a wall or something. There is no depth in your shots and things are way too dark. The guy that runs out of the door and jumps the fence... I had no idea there was a fence there! I only figured that out when I heard the clanking of the chain link. Darkness in film can be very effective but even in the darkest scenes, you should consider highlighting some of the elements in the scene. The lighting in the morgue was actually nice. The stuff in the house just doesn't cut it.

And your sound. Wow. Listen, sound is one of my weakest strengths but you have to make an effort! It just seems like you don't care about the sound quality. And there are simple things, like when editing... you chopped off the trail of dialogue when you cut to a different shot. You have to pay attention to these things. It doesn't take much to do and I know that you can do it.

Your soundtrack was enjoyable. One of the strengths.

The look of the film was a strength as well. Very retro, 8mm look to it. It works!

The acting was dismal. It looks like you are just shooting for fun but I know that you are striving for more than that. You have to start using people with real acting experience. Go to Craigslist. Do an audition. People will turn out and want to be a part of a film. They often will do it for free. Even talented actors trying to get experience and exposure.

As for the story, it was entertaining. Unfortunately, there is no link to the autopsy sequences and the stuff in the middle. I don't get it at all.

It is good to see your return to the fests. I hope that you take what I say with the knowledge that I am really trying to offer some helpful feedback. Keep at it! And keep trying to enhance your abilities.

-Ted
