The Lodger (Short Film)

PLOT: John is a lodger, having a hard time because he hasn't paid he's rent. The house owner has had enough with him so he decides to kill him. But on the same night of the murder, an investigator arrives and try's to find the lodger.
A short suspense/mystery film of mine.

Written by: Ali Genc, Jack Walters
Edited and Directed by: Ali Genc

Camera: Sony SD Handycam
Editing software: Cyberlink Power Director
Filming dates: 24/11/2010

Pre-Production:
The original synopsis was about a girl called Amy being murdered and investigator gets suspicious of her boyfriend. But this idea was later scraped when the first actress turned down the role of Amy, one night before filming began, due to her relationship problems. So we had to delay the film for a week and get a replacement, but the second actress never turned up so we had to change the synopsis.

Nice job! Acting was pretty good, and I liked the slightly askew angles in the beginning. Added to the uneasiness of the piece. Can't wait for your next one!
