Great location! You know what they say ... location location location.

I see some auto exposure when he flips on the lights - auto exposure sucks. Or maybe it\'s just my faulty eye.

Gross, eating on the ground. Intense.

I like your choice of actors, oh man, that guy is seriously messed up.

Oh yeah, definately auto exposure as the woman walks into the room. Best to lock that down if you\'ve got the option.

Sounds like you did some research on this one - is this somewhat what the process is like?

The cut after he says \"I love you\" is a rather impersonal angle, why not a shot of the woman looking shocked or angry? I feel like you lost a bit of the impact of the scene with that shot choice.

You audio cutting is a bit rough - wow, that nurse is a bitch! I\'d like to have seen more screaming and like, intensity when he\'s dying. Sort of abrupt. Heck a lot of things going right in this film though, great effort - tell me more about the shooting and the location!

MrsEncryption = Encryption\'s Fiance, the bitchy nurse xP

We shot on campus at our school, in a random classroom... We threw quilting batting down on the floor and also used one of his teacher\'s (the psychiatrist) offices. The hallway was the most \'echoey\' hallway we could find... so that my shoe clicks would be more annoying. :)

Allen could probably turn the auto exposure off, probably doesn\'t know how yet though haha he just got that camera :)

\"Sounds like you did some research on this one - is this somewhat what the process is like?\"
We really didn\'t research at all... We saw the fight and Allen was like... I dunno what to do.. So I said ...Make it about a mental patient that falls in love... Scripting went from there...

\"wow, that nurse is a bitch!\"
How mean! :( But Allen made me act like that... When I first saw the footage I was like... wow you totally made me into a bitch! and he agreed.... :(

props: we bought the straight jacket set online for like 20 bucks and the doctors jacket and scrubs were allen\'s aunts we built the defib box out of a random toolbox and a bunch of weird crap from the hardware store.. it came apart during the last take :P dang hot glue...

awesome location terrible acting... jumping the access made it awkward in spots.

Really there wasn\'t much research,

I have been following the fights since like \"The Box\" and nothing I attempted to do really came together.

Just this morning we discovered that something I have been trying to get filmed since September would have worked perfectly for \"Jumping The Shark\" Ahhh, o well. Then this one came along, like said before I had no idea, one was presented I took it and wrote the script.

I looked up how to use a defibrilator and that was pretty much it. I walked into the scheduling office and told them what I was doing and someone else mentioned they had a class in this room and it was kind of creepy so I said ok hah.

Yea, editing is one thing I don\'t really like to do. I get caught up on the smallest things and then for this one I think I just needed to figure out how to work my mic better... or maybe that wierd buzz I was trying to remove was from the room... I don\'t know. I can\'t wait until I find someone to do most of it for me :p

@MrTiggles

Jumping the 180 thing was unintentional the first time, that just had to do with locations for the two spots I used in that situation and another time it looked better on paper but being filmed I thought the dialogue just lasted to long to have it effective... you also make a point that runs through my mind time and time again lol

O yea, Justin Tell Marissa thanks for the like :p

remember breaking the 180 degree rule is only acceptable when you break it hard... as far as the location excuse if you shoot it right you can move your actor to slip the tripod in or even get a hand held shot. remember with mentally distressed characters hand held can add an element of uneasiness that translates well into the psychology of the viewer

good sets
