The Captive

Rating:      

This is my first attempted at horror! We found this cool building out in the woods and decided to shoot there. This was shot on the 7D within a 10-15 minute time frame.

Sorry, it's taking me so long to get back to you guys on this.

No problem, I would love constructive criticism.

The camera angles seemed off, there was little story, and the one effect shot (the fire on the roof) look awful.
Yeah, a big reason I wanted to shoot this was because I had a new adapter that let me use some old lenses my mom had, so I just went crazy on angles. In my opinion, I don't really think any of them are off, but I think i did over use the walk/run into focus effect. Actually, there are 5 effects shots. The burning house though doesn't look that good, I know. I was actually going to have a shot of copies of the actor hanging from a few trees to symbolize that he was already dead, and I actually created the effect fairly realistically, but I was worried about it looking like lynching. I talked to the actor about it and he said he never thought about it. I showed to another black friend and he was ok with it to, but a few white people I showed it too where a little offended by it. Sadly I took out and replaced it with this garbage shot.

All Cinescore.

Nice matte painting, not to bad. A little sky replacement would have been sweet to fit the mood.
Thanks. There are a few things I would have changed about it, but not a big deal. Actually, I did do a sky replacement on the matte paintings but that was it.

Kinda being a spoil sport here but this doesn't really work for me. The camera angles seemed off, there was little story, and the one effect shot (the fire on the roof) look awful. On the other hand the music was the strong point of this film and something I definitely liked. 3.5/5
