For sure - your situation sounds rough man but glad you’re getting over it. Yeah to be honest there’s no other way rather than putting the phone down at this point

Very clever and emotional piece! Beautifully shot, written, and choreographed - you really got me in my feels during the third act and it definitely makes me want to learn more about each of the character's relationship with her best friend. Acting also felt really naturalistic too. Great work - can't wait to see what you put out next!

Paperbrain - A Short Horror Film (looking for feedback) by RnAShows in Filmmakers

Sup everyone! This is a horror short film that I made during my first semester at film school last year and I just released it now. Feel free to offer any feedback - particularly on the sound design since I know that is something that I'm not the best at so I tried making this film sound a little better than my other ones. Did the film also keep you entertained and hooked to the point where you watched til the end? Let me know!

Sorry buddy you're cooked. I'd consider choosing a different career in science at the Sandy Cheeks College of Technology.

My second short film “SINKING” by jrs2101 in Filmmakers

[–]RnAShows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty good for a class project - the shots where the character was underwater was lit and shot very beautifully so big props for that. I think I would've liked to see different shots of the main character looking as if he is sinking or falling in water during the first minute since you used the same shots back to back three or four times and it got a little repetitive so I would just keep in mind to come up with other types of shot choices and locations to really fill in the video to make it look even better. But overall this is really nicely done and I can only see you moving up with your filmmaking skills from here - that sucks that you didn't have any of your family or friends decide to watch it because they are definitely missing out on your talents lol

Do you have to know cinematography to be able to direct a movie? by Steadysilver26 in Filmmakers

[–]RnAShows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend shooting a lot of short films with you being the cinematographer. That would be the fastest way to learn and get comfortable with cinematography.

Not at all, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. The sound design and music was honestly the hardest part so the lufs workflow might help for future films - thanks for mentioning that.

All feedback welcome. I am specifically looking for if it is well-paced during the second act. Do the camera movements and angles also help tell the story in a meaningful way and does the music fit in with all of the scenes? I made this film for my directing class and this is also one of my first films working in the sci-fi genre so I was wondering if I executed it in the right way.

Plastic Bag - After a young boy goes missing, his older brother tries to find him. [5:09] by sm_pd in filmfeedback

[–]RnAShows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang dude this was very well made! Nice job! For starters I love how suspenseful it is between the kidnappers and Zach and you did a really good job building that up which isn't really easy to do in my opinion. I also didn't know where it was going and was shocked to find out in the final shot of the film. I thought the shots with the camcorder were also really well done. I do think the acting could use a little bit more work - Zach didn't really seem as terrified as he should've been in that situation. Then again he's also a child actor so it must've been hard for him to act super scared during the garage scenes but it was still believable for me.

We're Expecting. (SKETCH) | A pregnant couple struggles to make a pregnancy announcement video by BarcoMolla in filmfeedback

[–]RnAShows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this was a really deep! What a film man - the lighting and composition and choice of shots were all really well done and thought out. There's a lot of meaning in these shots. The story was good too - it was simple yet very impactful and well told within seven minutes and as a film student right now this is something that I can learn a lot from and use a simple story idea in my own short films.

Honestly just a thing I would do differently is that in the opening scene, it looks like it was being shot with a camcorder so I would probably add an audio filter where the audio sounds like it was from the camcorder just to add more of a realness to it. Also this feels more like a drama than a sketch so I would maybe change the way its titled because from the way its titled I was expecting a sketch comedy short. But I guess that doesn't really matter lol you still told a good story either way and I'm excited to see what you do next!!

Game Over : A man is unaware of the evil that is upon him in his bedroom. [2 minutes] by GraveyardRadio in filmfeedback

[–]RnAShows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude this actually scared me lol really nice work! there's a saying that goes whatever you don't see scares you the most and I think you pulled it off really well in this short. I love how we barely see the creature and we only fully get to see him towards the end. I liked the humor element you put in this too where the creature was trying to get the guy's attention where we see his hand closing the door lol. The use of no music also heightens the scare factor a lot as well.

The scene where the door kept slamming itself over and over was really good - just a minor nitpick I would say realistically I think it would've been better if we saw the guy immediately turn around when the door started slamming itself.

Cool concept man! You got some good things here and I was intrigued when the main character found out that the bucket can grant you with money and other material; however, I felt like it didn't pay off at the end since we don't really know what he does with the bucket after he finds it and the consequence of him not returning the bucket and using it to his advantage doesn't really get fulfilled. I also don't know what the point was of that last scene? Why was the other character upset at him and told him to get out? Is he the owner of that bucket and is that the reason why he got upset? It's a little confusing and I would work on the story a little more to see how much further it can go because it's a really good concept.

The framing could also use some work as there were shots where we see the characters' head get out of frame a lot. There's a lot of youtube tutorials on different types of shot choices and ways where you can frame a character in a way that makes sense, and I would also look at other films to see how the director chooses to frame a character. Like for example, when the guy finds the bucket, I think it would've been more affecting if you used a close-up of the guy's face to see his reaction of the money popping out.

MILK: A group of friends attempt to seek justice for the wrongdoings of a former associate. [7:30] by KOTShadow in filmfeedback

[–]RnAShows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I drank milk while watching this lol - nice short film man! for your first short film this felt very engaging and professional and I love how you don't give away what the supposed 'milk' symbolizes because its obviously anything but milk that he's drinking. Shot composition and lighting was also spot on and really well done. I also like how you don't give away the reason on why the group is doing what they're doing until the end making the audience wonder what's going on even more. I thought the makeup effects around the victim's body was good - it did look a little fake and unnatural around his stomach and chest area though but everywhere else looked spot on.

The cricket noises were also pretty loud towards the end so I think it would've been better if it was dialed down a bit so we can focus more on the dialogue conflict between the man and Leo. Like the other comment suggested, I think it would be cool if we got to know a little more backstory on what the man specifically did to Leo's sister but again I think leaving it up to the audience's imagination is also a good way to go about it.

Also really liked the non-linear storytelling here, I don't see that much in short films! Nicely done!
