C inematography: Learner Response 1) Type up your feedback/comments from your teacher: Excellent soundtrack and build up of tension - nice to get a different feel and effect to the same shots as other productions. A few labels incorrect or missing (e.g. some camera movement not labelled) and late "big close up" is perhaps more of a simple close-up I like what you tried with the ending but perhaps if needed something more (a shot? sound?:) to really give the audience a pay-off. 2) Type up your feedback from fellow students.
