The Movie & feedback.

Uploaded on YouTube

Pros:
  • Dramatic
  • Storyline
  • Mysterious
  • Music - brought out emotion
  • Acting
  • Continuity
  • Match on action
  • Camera work was 'arty' whilst remaining 'gritty'
  • Angles
  • Voice-over - delivery was decent and emotive
  • Silence at the beginning - gripping for the audience
  • Showed loneliness well
  • Found the repetitive music to work well with the 'mundane' life

Cons:
  • Bitty - seemed to jump from one anecdote to another
  • Psychiatrist (me) - too aware of the camera and didn't like the 'wagging' of the pen
  • Repetitive music
  • Too zoomed in the psychiatrist's face
  • Running shot - wasn't clear within the narrative
  • Found the shot of Jimmy 'petting' the doll contradictory towards the monologue as it shows a more 'pet' like relationship rather then a friendship
  • Several shots go on for too long

Could have been improved by:
  • Dramatic tones to underline the really pivotal parts
  • Shots in the kitchen could have been different
  • Would have preferred a still shot rather then a shaky shot with 'Jimmy' running.
  • Different locations
  • (In psychiatrist shot) Book should have been handed sooner
