I'm not really sure what to make of this.

You see, I can't genre-rise it, maybe users can help me?

Also, it's turned into something that I didn't really intend, which is pleasant in it's own right.

But at the moment I've called my film "Parasol Trials", which pays homage to Survival Horror fest, Resi Evil.

However, do you think something like "The Evil Resident", or something along those lines would more suit it?

Anyhow, comments, feedback, criticism welcome.

 
Well you made something different then the usual "love, war" story.

One thing I do "hate" is using a score for the full 5 minutes.... Maybe it's personal but be aware that people can only give attention for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes you have to give something different to keep the attention.

Thanks, I most definetly agree.

I did take the idea to have Moonlight Sonata for the full score due to the fact that there really wasn't much else going on within the first scene. I really did want to show the monotony of his life, the drone like meandering of a sad and lonely young man.

But yes, I was definetly not interested in crafting a standard "Resi-Evil" fan film, with guns, terrible accents and bad makeup.
 
I don't right scripts and I don't do cinematography but every shot in every scene has a goal/meaning.

Even a shot of a running chicken will have somehow a meaning later on in a film.

And scenes are better to be "bordered", if it's enough to have a scene of 0,0000000000000000000000000000001 second...well...then it's enough.

if a scene needs to be 77 days...well..then it's a scene of 77 days....

It's also possible to cut in music... you won't be killed :-p

If it takes you five minutes to get that point across, then you're doing it wrong.

Strongly disagree with this lazy comment. By your own standards and expectations, probably so. But show me a veritable source which backs up that statement and I will regress my stance. There are a number of differing points within the life of the character that are transmuted within that scene. As well as very different ideas, decisions and ways of shooting and choosing to tell the story of such a character. I believe what you really should have said in all honesty was:

"Then I think you're doing it wrong!".

Or, lesser said; if I was to get playground on you, i'd simply reply with "Say's who?"
