Answer 5

So, I just took a look to watch this film. The concept has potential but it wasn't capitalized upon at all. The good news is that if this was done for a school project, it'll probably get you a passing grade, as I'm sure the teachers aren't super critical unless this was for some sort of filming or cinematography school.

That said though, I have some constructive criticism.

1. What was with the creep that purposefully took the urinal next to the main character? I think it's an unspoken code between guys that unless one is about to wet their pants, you always should have at least one urinal between another guy. And on top of that too, he was smiling at the main character like he was a lunatic. I just found it off-putting.

2. I also find it highly unlikely that the main character would even waste time on some random generic watch. I mean, it's not like this is the Omnitrix and is a super cool piece of tech. I digress though.

3. The lighting was a bit too intense and threw off the cinematography. The audio was also pretty poor and I had to use the subtitles to understand what was happening unless I wanted to crank up the volume on my computer to a level that shouldn't have been necessary.

4. If the kid was moving through alternate realities, why did he keep switching shirts? I would imagine that if the watch were transporting him, it would transport all his clothing too. If not, why didn't he lose his shoes? Or his pants? Or gain new clothing items like a jacket, sunglasses, etc. ?

5. The dork with sunglasses that was chasing him with his pretend gun was very unintimidating. Maybe he's the best you had to work with, I don't know, but he probably could've used some better body language or maybe upgrade his wardrobe. He just came off as kind of a dork trying to be intimidating and it just didn't work. No offense to that guy, of course, but he just didn't pull it off for me.

6. The script could've used better work. For instance, Sunglasses says the watch is a reality distorter device and that it distorts reality. Now, I know he was just reading from the script but come on, who wrote that and thought it sounded good? Not to bash you guys or anything, but given it's name, don't you suppose that most people would be able to come to the conclusion that the watch distorts reality? Also, the story ended very vaguely. The main character's doppelgänger killed him and then left the watch back where it was originally. What was the point? Sunglasses said it was dangerous for people to have before biting the dust and the doppelgänger killed the main character as well. No alternate outcome was presented, leading the viewer to believe that maybe the people in charge and who are experienced with such technology are just trying to have this eternal hunting loop with newbies.

Answer 6

Thats actually not bad!

Answer 7

Ok, thank you! I'm a senior in high school.

We had to do this small project and was filmed on an Android phone. I just used my friends for actors and characters.

This was a low-budget film, so no need for any high-tech stuff.

The character Is not moving through alternate realities, the reality he lives in right now changes right in front of him.

I had 4 days to script, film, and edit, so no need to go too much into scripting and details because there was not enough time to iterate.

Thx!
