A man is chased by an unknown enemy, as he tries to evade this mysterious enemy little does he know that there is no escape.


Hope you all like it. Do let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
 
Make it 1:21 instead of 4:21 and it might be worth watching. Nice title and HUD elements though :-)
 
The execution of the action sequences weren't so polished but not bad and the intent was there. Like the best of B-grade films with the slight misframings etc. In some ways I prefer that to hollywood slick. The running man at the start was good, I really got the sense of desperation from his performance as he frantically searched for an escape route. I didn't like the footstep sound effects in the sequence though, there was something off about them that didn't fit. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I really enjoyed the design of the editing through the cat and mouse sequence in the house. It's a small issue but if the gun had been a little larger it would have worked better. At first I wasn't sure about the twist ending but I really liked the final scene where they are facing each other. Overall, I thought you made excellent use of the location.

The music was appropriate and the sound design not too bad as far as I can tell on my laptop speakers. Better than average anyway. Even if the execution wasn't always there I thought there was real creativity and effort going into your shot selection and framing, you made an effort to tell a story visually and that can only pay dividends with practice.
