Review This Film

The Verdict Every score you see here was written without anyone knowing what the others would say. No groupthink. No piling on. Five independent voices, revealed all at once. Read the reviews, not just the numbers — that's where the real feedback lives.
Nicely told and well done!

This little film was actually pretty great. It's use of color and saturation was effective. The writing was at times deep and very clever. It's hard to believe that the students made this at the Skills USA finals in Kentucky, 2018. Well done, team! In the future try to focus on getting good audio and better lighting. I can't wait to see what you guys produce next.

What a great job! I can't believe that this was made in 48hours. The audio could have been a bit better... perhaps even some foley. The effects were well done and added to the story a lot.

The "Second Thoughts" short film expresses great potential in all aspects! From the effective camera angles, to the scene transitions, special effects, and stellar acting, this film should be praised. A few tips I have for this film crew are: pay attention to the sound mixing (as at times, the music was booming over the talents' voices), and pay attention to the masking (as in the firefly scene, I could easily decipher the poor masking). Nevertheless, I cant wait to see this team blast off!
the ending got me thinking

The cinematography looks great with all the still shots and angles, along with a melancholy vibe to the whole film, but when the rain came in with the girl balled up, it made a disconnect as it was moving way too rhythmically, the fire fly at the end also caused an issue as well, but the plot twist at the end served a nice little "gotcha" moment, so really its just the editing that needs work.
