Witch (2024)
Brilliant film from start to finish.
This film takes you on a thrilling journey set in England 1575.
The storyline was very well written with some great moments.
The acting was very good and gave a lot of screen time to each character so I could really get invested into watching the performances.
The setting was brilliant. It felt authentic to the era of 1575, with great attention to detail too.
The music was nerve wracking at times which I felt helped make it feel sinister.
The directors did an amazing job with this film and the production value feels very high.
I'm really excited to see what their next films will be.
Definitely a film I recommend to anyone.
Legacy (2022)
Really bad.
I would give constructive criticism like I tried on the first movie from this Director but he got all offended as he doesn't like honest reviews!
Clearly hasn't learned anything from the last attempt at making a film.
Obviously doesn't believe acting talent, quality sound production, sound design and sound scoring are important at all.
This film does have an honest review thankfully.
Please watch these films as a learning example of how NOT to make a film!
Award winning director, award winning writer???
Acting, sound, story, grading, sound design, lighting...
All bad completely.
Stick to your day job!
Mending Mylo (2022)
Dreadful.
Utter trash!
Whoops I mentioned trash. Now you will know it all.
Going from shop to shop talking rubbish and attempting to be gangster.
Do not watch this ever.
13th Day of Christmas (2021)
not bad for a first film.
We all have to start somewhere and learn things in the process.
Just a few genuine pointers to watch for.
Lighting is key -
know what lighting source you have in the wide shots then plan you lighting around that for the close and mid shots.
I say plan because where the lighting is and what type would help a lot to make the lighting believable to a viewer.
Sound -
sound is super important as it is what drags us into the film and keeps us there believing the story.
Casting -
use star now or Facebook if you like but you must audition everyone and don't take people on due to fame if they don't fit the part.
Story -
try not to spoon feed the audience. Allow them some imagination. Obviously this example wasn't in the film but... someone drinking a beer then telling his friend I'm drinking a beer is an example of spoon feeding.
You made a feature film!
Well done. Really!
There were some issues.
- lighting in the club was bad.
- some dialogue bad.
- sound was bad.
The story was rather obscure but maybe that was what you wanted to get.
Please take this constructively.
I hope legacy will be good too.
