Not bad, but it still looks and sounds like a home video. you need a boom, and better lighting, and if you are going to use a cheap camera at least adjust it in post so it looks better. its a shame because you done all the hard bits, it just the simple techniques you need to learn

@steviegbcool Thanks. It's mainly a budget issue - shooting time and eqpt. This was my 1st go at writing, producing, directing, editing. But we made elementary mistakes like setting monitor brightness too low then compensating with over-exposure. The industry is obsessed with shampoo commercial appearances, but for me that's the least important thing. Clerks, Eraserhead, Rec, Blair Witch were all good but looked awful. If appearance doesn't spoil atmos / story then I'm happy at my budget level.

Hey man, this clearly has potential but if I were you I would seriously change the aspect ratio, preferably to 2.35:1. I personally think it'll make it look a lot better but at the least it should make it look professional enough to keep these trolls of ur ass.

@RealRacer69 Trolls go with the territory. Even classics like The Shining, The Exorcist etc get slated now and then. Shining was 4:3 ratio.

@RealRacer69 Oh and thanks for the feedback :)

Dear Rob Ager, please do an analysis of Children of Men!

You're obviously a very vile person and a typical youtube troll, judging by your un-called for hostility and the comments others have posted on your channel. Learn to spell and use grammar and people may take you a little more seriously, but more urgently ... get a personality transplant.

nice touch with the tied-up psychopath not showing signs of panic/anticipation of pain like real psychopaths in the electric shock tests they were given

@vespilodegodfather

Asking what films you've made is a silly question, is it? Don't worry, there's no need to reply because you've only got one thing to offer.
