That is also very true, I didn't think about post much, other then effects, music and sound (Somewhere the sound for the last part messed up and it took a bit of time to fix).

Camera Quality was just fine. But the brightness levels and contrast are things you tweak in post. Sony Vegas has great tools for that.

I do agree very much, but when we were rushing to do it in about 2 1/2 hours (friend had to go home) and it got dark after 45 minutes, I figured it turned out pretty well...
But I was going to have him shooting the MP40 but the shot got messed up, so I tried to play it as 'he was tricking the assasin into thinking he was about to charge up to him.'

4. A majority of the scenes lacked contrast (And were also too dark), which made picking out details pretty hard most of the time.
5. The cinematography lacked any flair. Perhaps consider your shots before you start shooting.
Very good points, but the whole story behind why it didn't happen how I would have normally done it...
My brother was suppose to go into work that afternoon (3PM = 2 hours of sunlight left), we got back home at 4PM then decieded to try and make a movie, most of it was made up on the spot, other parts I thought about... After the opening part where he is walking, it got dark which meant we needed a light source. Now at the end of our filmming Harrison's mom calls, so my mom takes him home and I finish the movie.
We had actually talked about making the movie the night before, but we all thought my bro, Alex, had to work (but didn't because he worked the day before), if we had known he didn't have to work I would have planned ahead, and we would have filmmed between 1 and 4PM, thus making it possible to see the movie better, and adding the basic film nessecitys.
Also, if I had a Firewire, and it's hardware, ithe darkness would have liftted a little more. But for a small Sony DCR-TVR280, you have to admit the quality was at least alright.
But the next Action-type I do (maybe this winter Break) it will be loads better, and it will be planned, I promise you
