@KarameloKaramelo haha that's a good point. I don't exactly know, I think maybe when it's a solo amateur film they would usually act it out in front of a mirror? It was easier for me to direct my actor when he could see himself. Specifically for horror, emotional reaction is key and what's more personal than a reflection? My intention was to capture interesting angles in the only shootable room in the apt where we could spray blood. It is still tainted pink btw haha.

WISH WE COULD HAVE SEEN HIS FEET

Fantastic use of that camera and I love the music. I was sure when I saw the 6 minute run time I wouldn't make it to the end, but it held onto me and the payoff was worth it.

[KarameloKaramelo]

why do people who begin making movies always use the ' standing in front of the mirror' scene.??

good job.

I really like the tension that I felt the whole time. And when he killed himself I wasn't really expecting it, but it happened, so I wasn't given the chance to look away. Great composure dude.

Please, if you can, check out the first vid on my channel. It's a trailer for a full length horror film that I am making called "Leviathan".

[smoketnt]

Wow, that was brutal.

And I thought seeing a guy I went to high school with put a gun in his mouth was traumatizing, then I got to the ending. That was eerie.
