Hi there guys and girls.

I have just finished my second short film which has been one hell of a production nightmare. To me, I am not happy with it, while style wise I think it is better then Helper the actual story is badly told due to many other reasons.

We originally lay down 10 hours to shoot the film over two days, instead we were left with 6 hours in one day due to an A level deadline which my friend read wrong. I then had to rush through editing as fast as I could meaning its rough around the ages. I have come back and smarted it as best I could. To make matters worst our other decent actor dropped out so I had to use the lighting guy and then we lost the audio of his recordings So I had to re-record all the sound for his parts (except for when the mask came off) to the best of my ability which is crap.

Anyway, I thought I might aswell get some opinions from you people before I crack on with my less ambition 3rd short film.

Just a few opinions on it.

I like the cinematography for the most part, it has a nice style and feel to it.

Most of the problem with the short is with the masked character. You're right the sound quality of the second character was not very good and was pretty distracting to be honest. I really feel the costume for the masked character needed to be stronger. It seemed cheap and the mask didn't do it for me. I also feel the masked character should have been creepier. The whole situation is very surreal in nature yet the masked character just acts normal.

I was also not a fan of the "Question X" text, but that's more of a style choice.
