I'm not an actor. I also think that the lack of emotion makes the character seem more sociopathic, which he is supposed to be. I guess I did a good job, then.
The voiceover doesn't act as a narration in a traditional sense. The speaker isn't elucidating the details of his emotional life by description, but allowing the viewer to understand them by describing feelings the character doesn't understand himself.
You almost have cinematography mastered! And please, do not listen to what the other guy said, although he is right in some respect that voice overs are considered "lazy", this film is an exception because it is dedicated to that narration, unlike a scene where someone is briefly "thinking out loud". I also thought the writing was very clever and funny. Yes, it kept me "glued to the screen"... I don't think I had ever gotten through a portfolio film before. Good luck getting in.
@Raymz22 I agree. I really liked this, and yes, narration is not always the way to go, but it completely fits here. I love the mood this film created, the director did an awesome job on creating a dark and null feeling.
the cinematography is great but, there is no plot, it's just a voice over, with a kid walking around. Sure he may be reflecting on his lifes conflicts, but it won't really keep the viewer glued to the screen. One thing to remember, narrations are often seen as lazy writing in cinema. You should be able to convey thoughts and story through imagery, actions, and dialogue. Good luck though.
I was worried about that. Executing my idea was really difficult, and it didn't come out as I would've hoped. I didn't originally want to have the monologue, but I had a hard time communicating the story with no sound. I would've just written a different story entirely, but deadlines are a b-word. Thanks for watching.
hey, i really enjoyed watching it, and i actually got suspicious of which program did you use?

Cinematography is great, but...always remember to "show, not tell".
Really dug the color too.
